My new Kickstarter is live!

Game trailer:


Description:
Waking up in an abandoned building, you have no memory of what transpired the night before. Adding to this mystery, you find your band is in shambles as most members split or leave.

Set in the same world as Love Bites, Love Notes lets you play as Rachel or Jesse, two musicians of the band Spectral Howl.

As time passes, they'll start to feel strange, their bodies changing into something different after their night of amnesia. Long teeth, unnatural thirst, and a sluggishness during the day. Someone did this to them. But who, and why?

Try to put the band together again and at same time, solve the mystery of what happened that night, and who are they changing into.

During the story, both Jesse and Rachel will be able to romance one of the following characters:
- Tristan, who runs the bar Nightshade and almost never go out during the day
- Valerie, Tristan's sister and sexy bartender who isn't afraid of anything
- Nathan, an ex-student of medicine who can commune with the spirit world
- Zoe, apparently a regular librarian, in reality she has lived multiple lives

Each love interest can be equally romanced by Rachel or Jesse, but each path is unique.

You'll also encounter again some familiar faces from Love Bites as secondary characters, with various cameos and references. But it's not necessary to have played it: they are two separate stories set in the same world.

Game platforms

I'm using Ren'py so the game will be available on Windows and Linux (no Mac, sorry). It will be out in beta first on itchio, then shortly after on Steam.
Game music

The game will have a full original soundtrack and the plan is to include also a theme song, but one of the stretch goals is to have a theme song for each of the following music genres: pop, rock, country, alternative.

Endings and gameplay
Image

Each love interest has a unique CG romance, one for Jesse and Rachel, for a total of 8 planned CGs. There's the possibility of adding more love interests as stretch goals and an optional band simulation gameplay or rythm game, depending how funding goes.
