A five-act comic fantasy about a girl trying to return to normal life after the death of her mother
Setting
Everything takes place during one Saturday night at Amphora Institute of Charm--a university where you can study magic... or you can study something practical that will get you a job after college.
Characters
Lyn--Lyn is a freshman engineering student at Amphora who studies electricity. She likes loud music and striped socks. Her mother died suddenly, and Lyn has just come back after the funeral... but she's eager to pretend that nothing's wrong.
Ashkii--You play from his perspective. He's a freshman at Amphora who can't decide whether to study Levitation or econ. He likes 1920s horror films and sleeping. Out of compassion or maybe guilt, he decides to hang out with Lyn for the night. And so the adventure begins...
Music
Here's a link to the main theme.
The goal for the main theme was do something super sparse in the vein of Studio Ghibli or the
Amélie soundtrack. The rest of the soundtrack will be more upbeat and draw on hip-hop, indie rock, 90s lo-fi, and maybe more...
Goals
One Night at Amphora will be a fairly short (10,000-word?) VN where your choices affect the main character's personality and therefore the ending. There are three planned endings. There are two main ending "forks" with a lots of minor variations... so kind of a completionist's nightmare, but the intent is more for people to play once or twice and get a subtly different story than someone else who plays once or twice.
