Chain Letters (another Horror/Suspense VN)

#1 Post by Cybeat »

Due to the majority of members working on Mujinchitai quitting (for college, too much work, etc.), I decided to work on a solo project once again. The character sprites, the backgrounds, the scripting, and the music will be done by me. This project is called "Chain Letters", another horror visual novel. Many people told me it sounds interesting, so I'll give it a shot.





The city of Sapporo was once a peaceful home and tourist area for many people. However, this winter, it's different. People are being killed every couple days, one by one. Some of the descriptions of the murders were so horrific, some residents started believing it was the work of something supernatural. Kotaro Nakamura, an average first year high school student, one day receives a scary chain letter. Being scared, he sent it to a friend of his, who believe chain letters aren't real. However, the next morning, Kotaro impolitely enters his home and finds him dead, with the chain letter being displayed on his computer. Soon, more friends of his are murdered with the same message being displayed on their computer monitors. As more chain letters come in and kill people, Kotaro must do what he can to stay alive.


Main Characters
--------------------------------

(Art WIP)

Kotaro Nakamura
Age: 15

Being the only child in his family, Kotaro sometimes feels lonely when he's not outside. Despite the fact he thinks he's lonely, he normally decides to stay home and play games or draw instead of hanging out with his friends. Kotaro is not a loner, as he have plenty of friends, although he usually talks to them on his computer. He has a slight crush on his female friends (Mitsuko and Fumiko.)




Image
Fumiko Murakami
Age: 15

Fumiko is Kotaro's number one friend, classmate, and as well as the daughter of a well known real estate agent. Being a smart student, an MVP in the school's volleyball team, and energetic makes her a role model of many students.





Image
Mitsuko Sasaki
Age: 15

Mitsuko is Fumiko's neighbor. Although she's a teen model (not a real famous one), she's really shy and insecure. Mitsuko is only comfortable around her friends or her family.






Image
Takashi Saito
Age: 16

Takashi is Mitsuko's classmate, and the oldest one in Kotaro's crew. While he's cool and collected, he has a weakness for girls. Whenever he's not around his friends, he would introduce himself to any cute girl he finds.






Secondary Characters
--------------------------------


(Art WIP)


Daiki Sato
Age: 16

Daiki is the snobbiest student in class. In school, he's well known for being conceited and bragging about his ranking in the army; a sergeant. It is believed that he has nothing to brag about, so he makes one up.




Kyo Kobayashi

Mr. Kobayashi is Kotaro and Fumiko's english teacher. He may act like a confident teacher, but deep inside, he's hurting. As a widower, he's still coping with the death of his wife.

Good luck making your visual novel. As a horror fan, I'm looking forward to how this one turns out... It's an interesting concept, but I wonder if it would be possible for anyone to escape the chain letters just by turning off their computer? Probably not. That could be a freaky scene - trying desperately to turn off the computer only for the message to keep displaying.

Will there be possible character death (not only the chance of Kotaro dying, but maybe Fumiko & Mitsuko or anyone else as well) in this one?

Wait a second. You are telling me that two Junes have come and passed, and we are still not going to get a demo for Mujinchitai? And I thought the last post about copyright infringement was a hint to a release...

Another reason to hate actual chain letters. >_<

I'm looking forward to seeing more of this!

Thanks for the comments, everyone.

@oiseau: Yes. It depends on which route you take. So far I have 2 endings made up.

@F.I.A: Sorry, but not this year. Mujinchitai is still far from completion. Hopefully I'll get it done next year somewhere.

But the character art is lovely! Such luminous eyes.
Don't worry, we can get through it together. I didn't forget about you! I just got overwhelmed.
