Lovecraft Academy [BxB][Horror/Romance][School setting] - DEMO

#1 Post by ParrotWatcher »

Image
ADVENTURE OF A LIFETIME! Leo Paine, son of the famous American millionaire, finds himself thousands of miles from home, at school in Britain! Surrounded by handsome British boys (and a foreign prince), Leo is set to have a gay old time, as long as his sister doesn't cause trouble!

But maybe he should beware, because there have been queer goings on up at that there old school...

The Demo contains:
  • 40,000 words;
    At least five cute boys to befriend... and maybe more?
    One (so far) bad ending;
    Classic pulp school/horror setting;
    An annoying sister.
Characters:

Leo, the hapless protagonist:
Image

Veera, the foreign prince and token responsible character (romanceable):
Image

Fothy, the rich delinquent (romanceable):
Image

Robin, the scholarship boy (romanceable):
Image

Jasper, the quiet, timid boy (romanceable):
Image

Will, the teasing school odd-job man (romanceable):
Image

Bignell, the school bully (romanceable):
Image

Kate, the annoying sister (not romanceable, obviously):
Image

Nicky, the bully's brother (not romanceable):
Image

Play the game!

If you have any questions or suggestions, please let me know.

This sounds really fun! I love works that take inspiration from Lovecraft, especially when they do so in a way that would make him roll over in his grave! Good luck with the rest of development.

New update, containing Chapter 3, and an altercation with the school bully... I've also updated the opening post to give details about the main characters.

As a secondary note, I am currently considering running a Kickstarter campaign to fund the writing and art for this game. The campaign page is still a work in progress, but if you want to see it, and offer advice, please check it out here.

We're entering the final week of the Kickstarter! If you can, please consider supporting the game here.

In addition, here are a set of sneak peeks from various characters' routes:

Unfortunately we didn’t reach our goal, and I’ve been considering ways to proceed from here. Currently, I’m thinking I might write further into the game (maybe even try for an entire RO’s route, if I can) with the current stock assets, and then try again. I’m also considering trying itch.io pre-orders, which could help me to fund the game without (or in addition to) Kickstarter. I would also be open to suggestions, if anybody has any.

Also, if you have played the game, please do tell me what you think of it, who's your favourite character, what parts you like the best, and so on.

Thanks!

Happy Halloween! I just uploaded the fourth chapter to itch.io. Help Leo meet new friends:

and catch up with old ones:

...but maybe it won't be entirely traumatic:

You can find the game here, and if you enjoy it, please let me know. Thanks!
