"A kid is crying in his room in the middle of the night. He's not only distressed but also... terrified?
Strange, immaterial creatures roam the house, but he never opens his eyes in their presence.
Never answers them, even though they only speak caring words to him.
What about you? You don't remember a thing... Wait.
Oh no. You're one of them.
And your name... is Blood?"

-Progress-

Sprites – 100% - 7 different characters? (It always depends on what you interpret as a different character, really...) 17 variations (this doesn't include minor expression changes).
BGs – 100% - 14 BGs, not including variations.
(And then there are a few more visual assets I don't really know how to classify... But, yeah, those are finished too.)

CGs95% - 33 images for specific events, not including variations - Only one more to go!

GUI – 100%
Music – 100%

Script75% - 2 endings out of 3 are done. It's currently 46k words long and my estimation for the final word count is 48 or 49k.
EDIT: Right... It's almost 50k words now and there are still a few things to write. My new estimation is 52 or 53k!

After that, I'll translate it to English and contact an editor/proofreader!

Love mystery and horror, so this caught my eye! I really like the backgrounds - the color scheme and lighting is so beautiful. I also like the point and click interface, I think it stands out well.

The only qualm I have is that in my opinion, the font is a little hard on the eyes. Looking forward to updates and the release, good luck! :)

Hey, thank you so much for the feedback!! I'm so glad you like it! I especially feel relieved the point-and-click interface looks okay :D
Ah, I actually added the option to change the font to OpenDyslexic!

I'm attaching a screenshot because my usual method for including images directly isn't working, for some reason :c
(It's in Spanish because it's the version I'm developing first, since it's my first language.)

This looks really cool! I might have to brush up on my Spanish to play that version. The art looks incredible and spooky.

Build the basics first, then add all the fun bits.

Please check out my games on my itch.io page!

Thank you so much!! :D And don't worry, the Spanish and English versions will be released at the same time. Although you can always play the Spanish one to practice~ I actually learned a lot of my English thanks to reading visual novels! xD

Short update because when it comes to writing a script, there's nothing much to show besides a wordcount... and even more so when you're not even writing in English and you're at one of the final scenes!
Image
I thought I would be done at 49k maximum but I'm about to reach 50k and there are still a few things left to write, so... I underestimated the amount of words it would take me to write what I had in mind. My new estimation is 52 or 53k... I really think it won't grow beyond that!! :'D
