game i'm working on is just "this dating sim crashed and glitchedand everyone got turned into glitch creatures except for this one background character and some suspicious guy she found, now it's up to them to turn this horror game back into a dating sim."
except as u go on it becomes "none of the love interests enjoy being forced into their roles but they all feel too much social pressure to actually stop or bring it up with the others"
ooooooh that sounds cool!
it seems like a concept that would lead into a lot of interesting discussions around the characters, especially regarding different tropes and character archetypes that they're expected to conform to!
im gonna start with our lovely angel.✨
Ahhhh the lovelies Maria de la Rosa.

girl who craves community but is fucking horrified to talk to anyone in those spaces even when they are looking her directly in the eye and saying "welcome!! ::D"
Ace Attorney Deaths: They say the defendant bludgeoned the victim with a convenient flat object. The circumstances themselves aren't impossible. But the information about the motive is coming from a parrot on the witness stand. Danganronpa Deaths: I thought we were all friends here but it seems SOMEONE couldn't resist killing someone and then dramatically revealing the body in some crazy, dramatic fashion. No thanks to whoever probably tampered with the crime scene to make it more interesting. Zero Escape Deaths: It's all normal murder. The weird part is that the victim came back to life as a clone, or everyone's killing each other, or there's cross-timeline transportation and the destruction of humanity involved. AI The Somnium Files Deaths: Who is the killer, and why would they keep doing THAT to the corpses? And can people stop dying for five minutes, we're only one route in and I don't know what's going on! Buried Stars Deaths: The murders are all kinda normal but we're a small cast and we're not solving this ourselves. Time to call in the big guns... the toxic Twitter feed. Process of Elimination/Tantei Bokumetsu Deaths: You take your eyes off this group for five minutes and they've somehow Rube Goldberged each other into the cruelest and most unusual way a person can possibly die, all without anyone noticing. Gnosia Deaths: The two options are "vanished into thin air" and "chucked in the freezer", and the second one's democratically sanctioned. But there's a secret third option, which is "thrown out the airlock for misgendering someone", and a secret fourth which is "slime". Your Turn to Die Deaths: It's not the murders that are cruel, it's the player's participation in the murders. Ghost Trick Phantom Detective Deaths: The first step of trying to keep someone from dying is watching them die and going, "THAT'S how you died?!" before rolling up your sleeves and fixing the situation. Paranormasight Deaths: In any other game, deducing how someone drowned in the middle of a field while bone dry would be the subject of a huge Ace Attorney style courtroom segment. In this game it's just "probably this one specific curse stone", and the hard part is finding out what criteria they fulfilled on a technicality to activate it.

what do you mean i have to go to work today. when i just did it yesterday???
the saying "til death do us apart" does not apply to these two
one of the funniest things about game 1 is that it's ridiculously easy to accidentally get into a love triangle over a guy who isn't the one you're pursuing so you're just like. okay, whatever, and then in year three the girl will be like "i've won, i've started dating him" but you just go I DIDNT WANT HIM IN THE FIRST PLACE
lmaooooo these girls are fighting battles that don't exist 😭
it would be cool if there was like a matchmaking/ally/wingman option or something where you could let her know you're not into him and kinda help her out or something instead of automatically competing by default lol.
