Black Diary Remake Chapter One [Mystery][Horror][Female Protag][Pre-Alpha][Mini Demo]

#1 Post by Lehxra »

I’ve been working on remaking the original Black Diary for a number of years (off and on. Very off and on. Mostly off.) The original was a 2017 SuNoFes entry and very poorly made as it was around the time that I was getting back into art after quite some time. If anyone is interested in that one, you can check it out here: https://lehxra.itch.io/black-diary

I’ve finally decided to start fresh with a new story, still very similar to the original, new character look and backgrounds. Got into level design and Unreal Engine for that. Did some of the modeling myself.

Brand new page. All future development will be updated through here.

The 'Pre-Alpha' release (I just like calling it that) is available now. It contains the first 10 minutes of the story. Still follows most of the same beats as the original, but the character, now named Natalia has a very different outlook than her original self.

Check it out when you can!

Very brief 'synopsis':
The young woman wakes up after having fallen. Or being dropped. Surveying her surroundings, she concludes that she is no longer on her college campus, or anywhere near it. Was it all just a prank or could something more sinister be at play here?
