The Earth is under siege by alien symbiotes that attach themselves to living beings and become alien monsters! Earth has created it's own symbiote warriors to combat the alien threat, the only problem is that the Earth made symbiotes can only bond with children. So the fate of the world is in the hands of Zaydin and the students of SCAR Institute!
Update:

Hello there, some of you may know me from the Discord Server as MidZM, I'm working on the Visual Novel Symbiotic. The story of this game focuses around an orphaned kid named Zaydin, as well as his "friends" Elliosa and Kadin as they try to prevent the world from being devoured by Metamor and the symbiote creatures that latch onto living creatures and turn them into monsters.
A little bit about myself:
I started out as an artist on DeviantART doing random little drawings ranging from extremely poor to decent.
It wasn't until I got in Naruto that I decided to start bettering my art style to reflect what I wanted to show and eventually started making fan-comics, and then Naruto ended and I swore off that entire series until the day I die... let it burn in an eternal fire. After that I started making my own comic, Marked, and did that for 2 years straight until I completely burned out from making it and got burned a couple times by the publishing platform I was using... TAPAS! shakes fist. After that I needed a break and started work on Symbiotic and fell in love with the CloudNovel engine and it's ease of use without having to strain my brain figuring out how this code will interact with that code, or how that code will break this other code, etc. etc.
KickStarter:
While chapter one of Symbiotic will be free-to-play, I cannot create the game the way I want to make it without finances or the ability to make money on it. So I have decided upon finishing chapter one of the game I will be creating a KickStarter to make the game look and play out much better.
KickStarter Features (So Far):
+ A lengthy story spanning across multiple chapters/seasons.
+ Some scenes will be fully animated!*
+ Characters will be voice acted.
+ Official soundtrack of original songs.
+ Downloadable client for fast loading and ease of use.
+ Possibility of getting added to online stores such as Steam or Epic.**

* Some scenes in chapter one would be animated after the KickStarter, if it succeeds. If they were to be animated right now it would take a really long time and I don't have that kind of time doing this all by myself. There will be animated endings upon release but that is all I can offer at the current time. I was only able to animate one ending, and the rest of the animation depends on whether or not the stretch goal is reached.
** I cannot confirm which stores would host the game since as of late the Epic Store is taking control of the online store industry and offering developers exclusivity deals that I'd be a fool not to capitalize on if given the chance...
Chapter One Features:
+ Various characters to love, hate, and theorize about.
+ A simple (But also very complex... oh the pain) battle mini-game that allows you to earn EXP and level up.
+ A story told through many different CG's and character interactions.
+ 1 animated segments.
+ 2 secret endings (animated).
+ 1 secret battle/character.
+ Beautiful, sad, creepy, and amazing songs from various free online resources.

Tama
Tama is Zaydin's symbiote partner, Tama doesn't have a mean bone in his body (Well he doesn't have any bones in his body, but you get the point). Zaydin doesn't really like Tama and only sees him as a tool, this saddens Tama sometimes but he sticks by his partner to face the enemy.
