I’m a newbie taking on a bigger project which raises all sorts of red flags.
There are more red flags ahead though.
In fact, there’s going to be a few trigger warnings here: mainly rape, abuse, and pstd.
You see, I’m making a game about a character who’s gone through trauma and through the magic of romance, manages to get herself back up again.
Spoiler (trigger warning, abuse, rape)
What makes this different?
Not much. Not yet.
But I’m trying to be realistic, respectful, and put my own experience into it, so we’ll see how it goes.
So if you like
-Cute boys
-Mindfulness
-Amateurs
-Zoos
-Trauma
-intimate but not necessarily sexy scenes
- at least 2 endings per cute boy
It’s not the worst option around. Hopefully.
Our MC: Jane
23, still getting over ptsd, not letting that stop her.
Boys included: Roger
24, Roger is a shy guy who’s had his own trouble with an abusive partner. He’s sweet but distant. Bit of a nerd. Ben
27, Graduate Student, helps the professor. Not a frat boy, but could be mistaken for one. Isn’t sure how to relate to the main character at first. Can be childish. Noah
35, the Support group leader. A trained psychologist. Sort of unethical I know. He’s very kind but can be over protective.
In fact, I apologize for the state of the demo - most of it (sprites, music, backgrounds) are placeholders, just to get an idea of how things will look. This is not the final product.
With that said, have a demo:

So, mainly I’m posting to get an idea of interest, what people thing, if people hate it, etc. So came up with a few questions.
Do any of the characters interest you?
Do you think a subject like abuse can be cover by a visual novel appropriately?
Do you have any suggestions?
