The story is now completely written and planned.
Tomorrow I can get back into the development and implementation of what I've written. I'm excited to share some of my freaky horror writing! I aim to have a working demo uploaded in the next week or so. After that is uploaded with the completed story script, I can then focus on adding the finishing touches like sound effects and background artwork.
Right now I'm planning to make the narrative choice mechanic work by having the player walk in the direction of their choice. The world will be extremely low detail and mostly hidden behind the text, but it should give some vague sense of movement so the player has an interesting mechanic to interact with. I will have to test this mechanic before I'm certain however because it could end up getting in the way of the story if it takes too much time or it doesn't look very good. On paper it seems interesting enough!
