The 1910's is a cool period, although I know more about America than France at that time. The logo is fantastic. c:

Re: Hunt of the Unicorn [Mystery] [Romance/GxB] [NaNo 2017]
I like the first drawing of the protagonist. It's exaggerated just a bit. Though I worry that a somewhat cute and not-too-realistic drawing style might not fit well with a murder-mystery story.
Sounds interesting. I'm curious as to how this will work. How many of the choices will have clear outcomes which the reader can understand? How many choices will have outcomes which will be difficult to understand, or somewhat vague?CJaponica wrote:2 story routes (order vs heart)

This seems really original! Eveything: plot, characters, ambientation... I can't wait to play!^^
QUESTION: The order/heart routes are for both guys? Or one guy has the 'order' route and the other one the 'heart' route?
