In this mystery visual novel, observation is key! The island of Atlantiana has always been a calm and quiet sanctuary for it’s residents, but that all changed when a strange yacht appeared in it’s waters. Soon after the newcomers arrived, people began receiving threats and violence began spreading throughout the island. It’s up to the player to solve the mystery of what is really going on. There are five endings planned, each depends on a certain level of morality.
The story takes place on an ex-US military base owned by both the United States and Japan. This fictional island is called Atlantiana, a nod to the mythical sunken city.
Gameplay:
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The player will be able to interact with their surroundings and search for clues, similar to a point-and-click flash game. Interactions with characters and surroundings can raise or lower the main character's morality, changing the outcome of the game. The "Sketchbook" Option will allow the player to keep track of clues, events, characters, and information you learn about the characters. The player will have access to an inventory screen, and some of the objects can be used to interact with characters.
Characters:

The island is full of an array of different kinds of people. Could any of them be behind the strange happenings around town?
Note: These are only a few of the characters, as meeting people is an important part of the gameplay.

Kickstarter:

The kickstarter is not yet live, but when it is, I will post a link to it. The reason why I need to use a kickstarter is because I am attempting to complete this game with two broken computers and a version of photoshop that is outdated by a decade. Since both computers have begun to act up even more than usual, I'm afraid that I need to put this project on hold until I can get a reliable computer and better software, which is something a starving college student cannot afford.
Update: I've decided against a kickstarter. Instead, I'll simply do the best I can with the one broken computer I have left.
