Announcing the recreation of the amazing Interactive fiction Bronze written by Emily Short
I have contacted the author and have received permission to recreate the story of Bronze as a Visual Novel instead of a text based game, adding (hopefully -> may need to look into commissioning and artist and/or composer, hmmm) a graphic approach to this wonderfully adapted storyline.
In this game you play as Bell, wandering throughout the Beast's Castle(consisting of 55 unique rooms and several puzzles) and "recounting" past memories of your time in the Beasts castle. Here is an explanation of the game as written by it's author:

Stay tuned, more soon to follow!When the seventh day comes and it is time for you to return to the castle in the forest, your sisters cling to your sleeves.
'Don't go back,' they say, and 'When will we ever see you again?' But you imagine they will find consolation somewhere.
Your father hangs back, silent and moody. He has spent the week as far from you as possible, working until late at night. Now he speaks only to ask whether the Beast treated you 'properly.' Since he obviously has his own ideas about what must have taken place over the past few years, you do not reply beyond a shrug.
You breathe more easily once you're back in the forest, alone.
Bronze is a puzzle-oriented adaptation of Beauty and the Beast with an expansive geography for the inveterate explorer.
