[Kickstarter][Demo] Student Union [Drama][Dark][Romance][Mystery]

#1 Post by Visual Novel Village » Wed Jun 10, 2020 12:46 am



UPDATE! Our Kickstarter launches on July 10th! Check out our KS landing page!

Hello! Our team just released the demo for our first visual novel, Student Union!

It's now available on Itch.io! or Steam!


ABOUT:

Lane is in trouble and needs work, ASAP. At the kick-off of his final year of high school, he turns to asking the faculty for help. The assistant principal Mr. Underwood recommends a unique solution: form and lead a student organization dedicated to the support and maintenance of the institution. However, Lane must convince at least four other students to join the group before the end of the week.

Underneath this pretext he quickly learns the school administration is more sinister than it seems, that great danger lies within the school walls, and that the group he’s forming may be more necessary than he realized.

Your choices guide Lane through this dark drama and romance as shifting pressures form, strain, and shatter strong bonds. Found a student government, recruit members, and struggle to maintain them in the face of unexpected challenges and danger.

Also, please see the below survey and consider replying in part or in full at your leisure if you've completed the demo!

Did you get out of it what you were expecting?

Which route did you go— did you recruit someone?

Which scene was your least favorite and why?

How was the characterization for you, and do you have a favorite/least favorite character?

Did you note any typographical errors? If so, where? Any bugs encountered?

Any general commentary about the music, art, or writing?

What could we do to make this a better game for you, personally?

Thank you for your time! Any feedback will be used to improve the game as it continues through development.
