Deadly Flowers [NSFW][Otome]

#1 Post by kornercat »

Hey everyone, I just started working on my very first visual novel. Name is TBD.

The story is about Nora (Player Character: You'll be able to input your name and pronouns), a morally grey hitwoman with an artistic soul, works as a bartender and bounty hunter for a shady organization. Having made a deal with the Grim Reaper to see death on people, Nora has become a master of avoiding danger and predicting fate. Her latest assignment lands her in a seedy bar with an enigmatic cast of characters, each harboring their own secrets and connections to the criminal underworld.

So far I have concepts of 3 dateable characters:
  • Romanceable character #1, Nora’s colleague at the bar and the organization’s most feared hand-to-hand combat expert. He’s a man of few words but lethal with his hands and knives, moving like a predator when the situation calls for it.

    His reserved nature transforms into an intensity that borders on overwhelming in the bedroom. He’s commanding and deeply attuned to his partner’s needs, prioritizing precision and control to create a pleasurable experience.
  • Romanceable character #2, Nostalgic ex-lover and muse. Charismatic, emotionally attuned, and fiercely stubborn. He’s an outsider who re-enters Nora’s life unexpectedly and isn't part of the organization.

    In the bedroom, he is a confident and attentive lover who sees sex as an adventure meant to connect on the deepest emotional levels. He believes there is beauty in surrendering to trust, passion, and vulnerability.
  • Romanceable character #3, A cunning informant who trades secrets for survival. Flirtatious, quick-witted, and always two steps ahead. He uses charm and good looks to get close to dangerous people and extract what he needs.

    He is playful, improvisational, and endlessly flirtatious in the bedroom. He thrives on spontaneity, making every encounter feel like an adventure.

I will also be adding little games throughout to make things more interactive. Like a little Mix and Match Drinking Game where you have to guess the drink order.

Example Question: A punch that’ll knock you out but in a way that makes you feel like you deserve it.
  • Zombie
  • Mai Tai
  • Long Island Iced Tea
  • Hurricane

Currently working on the prologue, but I'm having so much fun!

Feel free to send me words of encouragement or little scene ideas that seem fun!

Progress 1/6/2025:

Decided to make a playlist for Nora(Player Character) and Kiernan(Romanceable Character). I'm not the best at making playlists, so if anyone can make a better one or has song recommendations feel free to share haha.

Nora Playlist:
A morally grey character with a deep love and passion for beautiful things, particularly men. She has a dark feminine energy—introspective, witty, and artistic. She is skilled with her two guns, Happy and Ending, and moves with an air of detached confidence, though a deep emotional complexity lies beneath the surface.

  • Dolls - Bella Poarch
  • Vicious - Bohnes
  • Alive - Sia
  • Haunted - Isabel LaRosa
  • Show Me - Bury, Beneld

  • Cult Leader - King Mala, King Kitty Remix
  • Killer Inside Me - Willyecho
  • Killing Strangers - Mariyln Manson

Kiernan Playlist:
Nora’s colleague at the bar and the organization’s most feared hand-to-hand combat expert. He’s a man of few words but lethal with his hands and knives, moving like a predator when the situation calls for it.
