Black Diary Remake Chapter One [Mystery][Horror][Female Protag][Free]

#1 Post by Lehxra »

The girl wakes up on the cold, hard ground. She feels blood slowly dripping down her head. She doesn't know how she got here, but she's convinced that it's some kind of college prank.
Black Diary is a horror/mystery visual novel set in an abandoned/ghost town in Nevada. This version is a remake of the 2017 SuNoFes entry.
It follows Natalia Soto as she tries to escape and survive her new fate.

Available for PC and Mac. Mobile build may come in the future.

Some history:
What is Black Diary?

The idea for the original Black Diary that I made for SuNoFes17 actually came from a story I was writing 10+ years ago of the same name. The idea came to me when I was playing the MMORPG Flyff, and everyone just disappeared. It really freaked me out. (I probably was having server issues, but didn't know at the time.)

That inspired me to write Black Diary, a story about a girl named Shihan (the original name) who explores a ghost town, gaining a few male allies on the way.

Never did finish that story.

But I have finished this one. This chapter, at least.

What makes this one different from the game jam entry from 2017?

A lot. The story, while following some of the same beats as the original, it is now much more coherent and believable. Shannon (the name of the 2017 version of the MC) did not act like a believable character. She was very nonchalant and accepting of her situation. She never tried to escape. She was very naïve.

Natalia Soto (the new version of the MC) is basically her opposite. I won't get into too much detail. If you want, play both versions and you will see.
