I'm curious about what this is about. You said players will find out what the story is when they play the game, but are you going to reveal any details, or info on what genre your game is?

Anyway, "Crystal Diamonds Shatter" sounds better and more grammatically correct to me.
My first completed visual novel, which is at 1.3, it's final version(woo hoo!): Monster Uses CPU 2
Finally at version 1.0: White Fog

You might ask yourself: If I could only save one paragraph of the work I'm writing, which one would I save?
Which one would I let go first?

Glad to hear you are curious!
Yes, I will drop some hints and details along the way.

They're both grammatically correct, but using the singular option is probably more confusing, since we don't know what "Crystal Diamond" could mean as a single entity. (Is this a person? A place? You get the idea.) If "Crystal Diamonds Shatter" is the title instead, we can at least theorize that the title may refer to actual diamonds.

Honestly, I don't think it's a good idea to try to determine which is a suitable title until we have more information. It's possible that an entirely different title will fit the story better.

Thank you for telling me they are both grammatically correct!
They started to confuse me after a while.
Besides, your explanation about how the title refers to the story made it easier for me to decide which one to use, thank you for that!

These are the only two bg's I have.

I'll try to draw the other remaining bg's as quickly as possible!

Back again! Here are the updated Backgrounds!
They come with a day and night image, but I'll only show the day ones.

This is still a 'if this works' image. So it might not be used.
If it will be used then you can expect another layout but for the city map C:

Ahw thanks :D
Lets see, there is romance.
Depending on which you romance the answers you get (story) will differ.
The idea is that you have to do several routes to get all the answers, and to unlock the true ending.
Tho if people don't feel like doing this I might change it so that you can still get all the answers without romancing.

Tho I can say that it is supernatural as some things happen that won't happen IRL ;p
