Devlog #1: What’s the New Game?

Hi I'm PFMage!

I'm currently working on Deep Blood Town a horror visual novel game. This is a devlog, where I will be sharing updates on my progress. I am aiming to have a playable version ready for Themed Horror Game Jam #15, and be doing the theme "Lady of the Lake".

1. I created this devlog to keep myself accountable, to ensure that I stay focused on my goals.
2. Allowing me to keep a record of my work and reflect on all my accomplishments.
3. Another reason is to share my progress with other developers or anyone interested in my work, so I can keep them informed easier.

Elevator pitch:

Deep Blood Town is an anime horror visual novel set in 1992. Inspired by the late '80s and early '90s supernatural and suspense genres. Investigate as Agent Jessica Anderson, searching for Agent Quentin Sinclair in a world filled with cryptic riddles, evil forces, and blurred realities.

Game concept:

The goal of the game is to locate Agent Quentin Sinclair and uncover the secrets of Deep Blood Town.

Players will be fully immersed in a disturbing and eerie environment that highlights the unsettling nature of human behaviour. They will feel a mix of suspense, paranoia, and increasing discomfort as they uncover the hidden secrets of the town.

The gameplay of this game involves searching for evidence, solving puzzles, and interacting with the people in the town to uncover the story. It offers a compelling story and captures the mysterious atmosphere of the 1990s.

Players will find enjoyment in the game's immersive storytelling, the challenge of solving difficult clues, and the exploration of a world where reality and nightmare blend together.
