Warning: This game contains mentions of suicide and self hurt. Along with that there are mentions of homosexuality, and a lot of stuff on religion.
I hope this is alright, since I'm well aware that there really isn't much to show you guys, but hopefully it's fine. I apologize in advance for how bare this thread looks. *falls over*Dear Mr. God is meant to be a short, non-commercial, kinetic visual novel, just something to test the waters with Ren'Py. The unfortunate thing is that I have no graphics whatsoever to show you at the moment, still working on that whole thing with finding artists. I have some people who might be interested, but I'm still open to anyone who'd like to help out.
Plot? Yes. Plot.:
Dear Mr. God revolves around Liam Masters, an older brother who's sister, Lillibelle, has recently committed suicide. Why? Well, he doesn't know, really. How could a little sister who seemed perfectly fine for so long just suddenly decide she wanted to take her own life? His mom won't say anything. Being the mature, level-headed seventeen year old he is, Liam decides to snoop around in his little sister's room, looking for something that will explain exactly what happened to his sister.
It all starts with a letter, "Dear Mr. God,"... Join Liam as he discovers the thoughts of his sister from even when she was 9 years old, up until the day she ended it all for herself.
Here, have a little excerpt:
"Mr. God, how did you make Heaven? We learn about it in Sunday school, but I want to know how you make a house on clouds.
I want to live on the clouds. It's probably very pretty up there.
I asked Mommy to buy a house in the clouds so I could come visit you, but she says you are very busy.
Can you send one of your angels to pick me up? I can teach you how to play gold fish, Liam taught me how to.
Liam is my smelly big brother."
Art? Nope. Not yet.:
Mugics? Hell yeah, music.:
So far all the tracks except two are by Kevin MacLeod (oh joy I bet none of you know who that guy is), the other being made by the lovely Jabicho82. Wanna take a listen? I bet you do. At least I have something to show, right? Right. Here's the little beauty.
Voice acting? Maybe.:
This thing might be partially voice acted, since whomever I cast as Liam (if I do) will have to do quite a bit of reading if it included his thoughts. Thus I was thinking lowering it only to the spoken parts, which is only roughly about 15 lines. If I do do that, I'd need someone to voice act his mother as well, so I'm still thinking about it.

Questions, because I'd really like to get some feedback and answers to these:
1.) Does this seem interesting at all? Though it is short, I really would like to know if this is simply something that no one has interest in.
3.) Do you think it should be fully voice-acted, from Lilli's letters, to Liam's thoughts, or just partially?
Anyways, thanks for stopping by and reading. Hopefully people will be interested.
