An indie dev attempts to encapsulate a fraction of the herculean effort put into completing the script writing, editing, branching narrative design, and dozens of visuals for particularly sensitive content in a dark fantasy and horror visual novels. Heavily commented, story-relevant variables; immense gratitude towards her QA team; and a dizzying visual representation of cascading player choices honored in the narrative are shown in an intentionally overwhelming collage. Cheeky visual representation of why some script in a heavily branching, dark fantasy and horror visual novel warrants a content warning while other chapters to not. The writer and indie dev has shown three very distinct files, one with a suffix "X" for "extreme content." The increasingly deranged and wildly differing characterization of a demon in the game is overlaid on low opacity fanart of him: a skeletal lord looking way too chipper as he sasys, "I fucking love giving." The dev has added in bright red comic sans for emphasis, "it gets weird(er) when you see it side by side" (in reference to the differing characterization possible in the game), and "one of these is not like the others" in reference to the most deranged behavior from this monster being contained to its own labeled document.

Julian:
The hottest guy on campus, Julian is a princely man who everyone adores and a talented artist whose work is described as 'perfect.'

Is he really as put-together as he seems, though? Could there be cracks in this perfection...? The voice that narrates your story. A stubborn man who insists his advice is TOTALLY just a professional thing. Nothing more.

It's not like he's interested in living a romance of his own or anything.

Introducing the love interests for 'The Narrator Says We're Meant to Be!', our upcoming amare visual novel!

You can romance a pathetic prince, or... the game's own narrator!? Coming soon!

Post by @bibixpgames · 1 audio track 💬 0  🔁 0  ❤️ 0 · More song previews for the game WebConfessional! ;3 BibiXP - General theme #1 Preview This here is meant to be one of the general themes essentially, so definitely fun to listen…

This is one of the general themes, so fun to listen to but fully in with the dark electronic feel, I REALLY liked putting in the vocal sounds alongside the synths! Plus messing with tempo was very fun, you can hear me do so even in the preview!

A screenshot from the game Our Wonderland showing the character bio select menu with each of the five main character silhouetted in their corresponding colors. A screenshot from the game Our Wonderland showing Orlam, Iggy, and Genzou in suits and dancing (more like squishing together) on the dance floor of a fancy ballroom. A screenshot from the game Our Wonderland showing Iggy and Gidget seated for a romantic moonlit dinner as Cecil glares angrily over his violin from the side. A screenshot from the game Our Wonderland showing a worried Iggy looking down at a severely burned and injured Genzou lying in his arms, while Genzou looks up with a smile.

Hey #WishlistWednesday! Did you know Our Wonderland's been deindexed on itchio for 8 months with 0 explanation or response?! \(°◡° *) Love it!

Anyway you can wishlist the new remastered version of my gay horror game on Steam instead! Yay! Plz help it do well!
