Ahm Alrighty so I've had this idea in my head for a while for a visual novel eheh and I figure that I won't be able to do this by myself so i might as well put it out there. I omitted a lot of ideas so that people can input their own things.
Plot
There is a certain school that is famous for its "Seven Mysteries", the small inexplainable 'horror' stories that occurs in certain places of the school. Some mysterious accounts include the sound of approaching footsteps by the stairwell, a mysterious unnamed book that grants wishes whether it be good or bad, and the ghost of a little girl that haunts the (insert club room here). A certain honors student (the protagonist) transfers to the school, and is dragged in by the Paranormal Investigations Club President, a lovely (tsundere? sempai character?) who is driven to solve those mysteries and bring them to the truth once and for all for whatever reason. The protagonist agrees and goes on a bucnh of magical school adventures, unknowingly bringing himself closer and closer to something dark, and inexplainable.
The characters include the protagonist, the club president, a moe blob girl (who is the cause for the moving book of wishes mystery), (insert character here for you to add), and a loli ghost girl who doesn't know she's dead, the real inexplainable mystery of the school.
The six of the seven mysteries must be explainable so its something like a real mystery case. So the protagonst plays as the detective, and the player will be given choices and clues that draw him closer to the truth.
Some mysteries I was thinking of was like:
- There is a certain book in the library that has no name, no author and no real content. The book is famous for its power of granting the wishes of others. However, the result of the granted wish may not exactly be what the wisher expects. The cause of this mystery is a moe blob librarian girl that finds great trouble in talking to others, and through this mysterious book she can communicate to others. She is truly a pure hearted girl who wants to make others happy so she tries her best to grant the wishes of others, but sometimes she messes up and that's why some results of wishes aren't very good.
- In a certain stairwell in the middle of the night, you might hear footsteps behind you. If those footsteps sound close by, the ghost pursuing you is at the opposite end of the stairwell. If the footsteps sound far away, the ghost might just be right behind you. I don't have an explanation but like it sounds scary hehe.
- At a certain time in the year, a hanging noose appears in the store room. If you see the hanging noose in the storeroom, you must leave and never turn back. You might feel someone trying to tap your back as you escape but you must never turn back. Or..... idk i didn't think this far ahead. It just sounds scary hehe.
Ok that's just a few ideas so um yeah. I had a few sketches but I don't have them with me in this computer so yeah.
