Otome Horror

***FLASHING LIGHTS WARNING FOR MIKURU'S ROUTE***

Demo for Apocalyptic Dream, or ApoYume for short. Play as Mikuru or Toshiro in each spoiler-free snippet. Routes for each twin are completely different.
ApoYume is an Otome set during a zombie Apocalypse. Content warning for violence, language, and adult themes. Romance tags refer to all options possible in full game.

The kickstarter to fund the full project launches August 6th and will run for 30 days! The full game will be coded through Unity, and will have seamless transitions. Sprites are by Sasamekuh.

All updates as of Jan 2nd 2023:

• Roughly 900 more words have been added to Mikuru's route, with Sayaka present in that section.
• Dialogue in her route has been updated to sound more natural.
• Ryuu and Atsushi's themes from OST were added for the brief romantic notes with them.
• ALL of the sprites were resized to be smaller, so that they don't look as compressed. ...I'm not sure how well it worked. 😭 Idk, let me know if it still looks crunchy on your device... Arisa's new resized files have been saved but my hand is giving out on me, I couldn't swap her out yet. I'll do that probably Monday but won't make an update about it outside of the discord server.
• Menu theme, suspense theme, danger theme, Mikuru hopeful theme, Mikuru normal theme from OST have all been added. OST tracks are shorter than the previous royalty-free tracks I had in, so the loops will be more noticeable. Toshiro's theme should also have been swapped in properly just by default.
• Sayuri's theme was also swapped in, despite it not being a romantic moment. I really like the royalty-free track I had in there before, but I will not be using any royalty-free tracks in the full game except when absolutely necessary (ie backstory-chapter specific exceptions).
• Some BGs have been replaced. Menu screen has been updated (not final, this is a low res version with my studio logo added), and a replaced credits screen is up with unofficial font.
• Toshiro and Arisa's sprites have been updated with additional poses.
• Atsushi's voice files are updated.

I liked this a lot, and thank you for the headphone warning at the start! I could've broken my ears lmao

I personally thought Toshiro's story was much more enthralling, but even though Mikuru's story was more subtle, it connected more to the relationships during the apocalypse. Both of their stories were pretty nice, but I wished I could have played Toshiro's story a little longer qwq

Toshiro seems a bit meh as a character, but Mikuru's story has a lot of relatable and realistic scenes and reactions.

The art looks good and the light touch animations are well done for the story telling.

That said, this is probably not the best representation of the project. This site has a number of issues that make the game seem buggy(even though none of these issues are related to your game's development). Also, this small set of scenes makes character development feel rushed and forced, not to mention that it doesn't feel like there are many meaningful decisions as a player. Personally I would recommend a trailer or demo video rather than a prototype for this project, since representing your hook and a good smattering of art should be easier there than in full scenes.

All and all the apocalypse is an interesting setting for an otome game and it looks like you would just need a pretty simple framework to dev this in Unity or Godot. You've even thought ahead to what platforms you want to support and I think it would be a great switch and phone game

Played through as Toshiro and then as Mikuru. Both were honestly enthralling! The art, voice acting, and story are great.

This is more of a preference - but a couple times I clicked and the story did not progress because I had clicked on the textbox (which seems to be the only part of the screen that isn't the next panel clickbox). Personally I would just go ahead and include the text in that clickbox if it isn't a hassle.

I used headphones, and all of the sound was totally fine. I'd recommend having them on low-ish as I did - even the "spooks" (I don't want to call them jump scares, but there were some sudden noises) were not too loud.

I really liked the demo!

Due to the warning at the beginning I didn't play sound with my headphones, but I still enjoyed it nonetheless! It was short but rather to the point. I played as Mikuru and enjoyed the scene with the found handheld game; everyone's personalities were developed nicely and clearly.

Looking forward to the full game! (despite being a wuss when it comes to horror games)
