That's a long tag in the title, isn't it ? Well, that's because we aim at turning each girl's path into a different type of experience.
One path will make you fight the supernatural, because ghostbusting is cool.
One path will drag you into vengeance and vigilantism, because criminals deserve to be beaten up (according to movies and comicbooks, and who am I to argue ?)
One path will throw you into an action movie, because military aspirations can lead to danger.
And one path will give you plain drama and romance, because sometimes, personal life can be just as exciting as anything previously mentioned.
= The Game =
Ellie, who realised she was a lesbian a few months ago when she couldn't take her relationship with her boyfriend to the final step, is sent by her parents to Greystone Manor, a girls' dorm not far from her new high school.
She's going to meet the residents and maybe befriend one girl in particular. Not every girl will have a path about love, though, as she's not automatically a lesbian just because it's a visual novel with a female protagonist. And friendship can be just as powerful and involving.
+Details+
The art will not be anime/manga. That's just not how I like/want to do things.
No adult scenes are planned as of yet (unless we figure out how to toggle them, and even then, not sure, since It'll only apply to two of the four paths)
There will be four girls : two available for romance, and two for bromance (remember, not everyone is a lesbian after all). Bromance paths will NOT be watered down compared to the romance ones. They will simply be different.
Development is done in French at the moment, but since I'm a professional translator, expect an English version too (if i don't find someone to do it for/with me. Just because I'm a translator doesn't mean I would enjoy being the only one working on it.)
= The Girls =
Ellie
The main character. She's going to discover Greystone Manor and its denizens along with the player. She has a kind heart, but will find she has to adapt to the Manor's... unique atmosphere.
"I've been brutalised twice in less than thirty minutes and I just arrived. What am I doing here ?"
Trini
The first kind soul you encounter when you arrive. She's a mechanic in her own garage, and lives on the Manor's ground. She's very friendly, very easy to talk to, and likes to make people comfortable.
"A little kindness can go a long way, especially if I checked its engine first."
Karen
She's aspiring military, and trains every day of her life to become as great an officer as her father. Tough as nail, she has a hard time with civilians, even if she is technically one, and always has been (don't point it out to her).
"It's hardly my fault if I terrify people by ambushing them in the park. You should never let your guard down."
Amy
The happy-go-lucky unsufferable sugar-overdosed girl from the Manor. You can get diabete just by looking at her, let alone by speaking to her. She's friendly to a fault and hasn't any notion of privacy... or how annoying she can get.
"I prepared your room myself its next to mine, we're going to be best friends and if you want we can even leave the doors open all the time so we can talk to each other all the time."
The girl from the attic
She has a name, but she's kind of spooky, so I won't tell you about her. (Oh wait I just did : she lives in the attic. And she's spooky.)
"You really shouldn't open that door, there's a reason it's painted black and covered in magic wards... and it's not because it's pretty and mysterious."
Some other girl
We won't spill the beans on this one at all. Not like we did for the witch in the attic. Wait, did I reveal she was a witch ? Well, dang. Anyway, for the final girl, you'll have to play the game. Come prepared, though, you'll need to have your wits and guts about you.
"That's how I roll. Wanna make something of it ?"
My Power Girl toy
Wait, what ? Sorry, no, I just got carried away, since we were talking about girls, some of which were particularly awesome.
"And it's not a TOY, it's called an ACTION-FIGURE!"
