Supernatural High: A school for those that are not 100% human, because even for those that are nonhuman, their parents still want them to attend school.

After her death from one month ago, Hitomi is forced into the supernatural world. She has no memories of how she died and had not even realize she had died before being told by a reaper. Unwilling to go on to the afterlife without an answer, she strikes a deal with a reaper. Now the days are counting down. She only has a limited amount of time before she loses. If that isn't difficult enough, she also has to blend in with the supernatural. Ghosts have been forbidden to roam around after their deaths to prevent a massive buildup of the supernatural population. On the first sign that Hitomi is just a ghost, she will be pulled away from her investigation.

But who are her friends, and who are her foes?

And more importantly, will she make it on time?




Hitomi

Type: Ghost

A dead girl. A wandering human soul. She is a bright girl keen on discovering the mystery behind her death. Ever since
that fatal day one month ago, she has been unable to recall the moments before her death. Somehow, her determination has
managed to prevent the reaper, Kurou, from reaping her soul. For a week after the failed reap, she tried continuously to
escape from the reaper. She was soon caught.

However, Hitomi has agreed to a binding contract to go on to the afterlife under the conditions that she find out
the mystery surrounding her untimely death.


Kurou

Type: Reaper

"That child has already given up on life. He will die before the hour ends."

A reaper of souls. A shinigami. He seems to prefer dark places and the nighttime. There is a melancholic air surrounding
the reaper. To the dismay of everybody, bad luck follows wherever he goes.

Known for his impeccable reaping record, he recently fails to reap a dead girl's soul. Instead, he becomes bound by a
strange sealing magic that has locked away the majority of his powers. His only lead in finding out the mystery behind
the seal is the dead girl. Over the past month, he has taken to following Hitomi wherever she goes. Recently, he is
beginning to show concern over something, but will not elaborate further on what is troubling him.



???

Type: Demon?

A demon who has taken an uncanny interest in Hitomi. He is Kurou's boss. Kurou appears to trust the demon, but at the same time, seems to be placing distance between Hitomi and him.



Ri

Type: Fox Spirit

A kitsune spirit who believes that Hitomi is bad luck. He tells strange fortunes from time to time.




Ghost: Generally seen as benevolent and somewhat naive, ghosts are humans who have recently passed away but have not been retrieved by a reaper.


Reaper: Reapers are shadow creatures and prefer settings with little to no sunlight. Whenever a death occurs, reapers will generally be there. Normal humans cannot see them.

Ooh, this game looks interesting. I like the idea concept as well! Do you have any rough estimates of the duration of the game, how many CG's, and if this is a serious VN? Your first post just seemed a bit short to me since you only briefly described the characters and plot. Anyways, good luck with your project!

Welcome to the forum, Elude.

Let us know how familiar you are with other stories that have a school for supernatural creatures theme. Quite a few have been written (as the TVTropes entry for "all ghouls school" states). But don't let this get you down. Instead, think about specific things which will help your VN stand out. Help us understand how your fictional world works.

Also, give us more information on the scope of your VN. How many paths and endings do you plan to create? Just a few choices, many choices, or somewhere in between?

Hmm.. This looks really interesting, and the characters are also very interesting.

EVERYTHING IS INTERESTING.

I totally want to see how it will be like when its finished cause I'll most likely play it when that time comes.

Thank you for all the comments! As suggested, I have updated the thread with more information in the "Features" section. This is my first attempt at making a visual novel. Serious or not, I intend to finish! I am hoping to get a demo out sometime next year.

I have watched/read stories with a supernatural theme (who hasn't? ). For this game, I have spent a decent amount of time world-building so hopefully, it won't be too familiar to other stories ^^.

Here's an update!

Hm...so I'll be playing as a ghost datng demons and spirits? ) Great then! Will be stalking this until the game comes out ^^ Good luck on the game..and HAPPY NEW YEAR, 'kay?
