Plot:

The small town of Blue Hollow has always been a rather peaceful and uneventful place nestled in the mountains.
Claret, a perpetually listless girl, can no longer maintain her relatively placid lifestyle when strange happenings plague the town.
A pale young man, in his night clothes, is found at the Breezy Inn’s doorstep,
a rumour of a phantom walking the streets of town at night and not to mention the peculiar lights and noises emanating from the old Burnwood Manor,
home to an eccentric old man who has been scarcely seen as of late.

With her colourful companions, new and old, Claret is begrudgingly tossed into the fray and must discover the source of the problems before something truly terrible might occur.

Notes/Questions:

I finished the demo for this during nanoreno this year and I hope to complete it in the next few months as this is a solo endeavour.

Most of my updates will be on my tumblr page.

Thoughts on the story and characters? Any favourites so far? Let me know.

The 2D character drawings for this visual novel are realistic enough to be unsettling. I think it's appropriate for a story which has supernatural elements, and which is intended to make the reader nervous.

For what it's worth, I searched Google for 'phantasm.' At least half of the first twenty results mentioned a horror film series which began in 1979. Then I searched for 'phantasm game.' The top twenty results included several other intellectual properties. I think you may benefit by just calling the story "The Haunting of Burnwood Manor."
