Title:
Hellward
Description:
Dying is never much fun, and finding out you are stuck in your dead body you possessed on accident isn't great either. This is the reality the post-apocalyptic historian, Lawrence Wallace, has to deal with. However, he ends up making a deal with a group of demons that will keep him in his state if he will be their servant. An angel also soon comes by to offer her aid only if he can help her with her own peculiar goal that threatens the very existence of Hell. But how can he even focus on his history book and this angel's odd goal when he doesn't even know how he's going to survive in this wild new world and where fate will lead him next?

I only did this because I kept getting errors and the only pictures I could get to work in this post were those two above. (This is my first post on this forum).
Plans:
-Short Animated cut-scenes (I won't include voice acting, just because it will be hard to get people to voice act for free, and I want the players to imagine what they think the characters' voices are).
-Plenty of CGs.
-A simple battle-system (there will be no leveling up or any other RPG mechanics since it is unnecessary for the plot of the story).
-Puzzles
-Different routes
-A friendship system (You can get the potential for character endings if you max out your relationship with a character).
-A talking system where you can chat with other characters and gain friendship points during specified times in the story.
-A Gossip system where during the time the talking system is in play you can repeat things other characters said and say it to another. (This can negatively effect some characters but get you more friendship points with others. The things you can gossip about will be colored).
Other Important Stuff:
-I will be working on this project alone. That means I'm doing all the art, coding, music, ect.
-This game will be free (And yes I know it's common for people to abandon freeware projects, but I'm very passionate about this story and I really just want to share it with others in a more interactive way).
If you have suggestions or criticism I would love to hear them! Also can you answer these questions below please?
1. Do you think my story is ok, and do you think there are ways I can improve it?
2. Are my characters ok?
3. Should I remove anything?
