DIGITAL CHAIN is a short, mystery visual novel about 3 kids who explore a haunted school.
The game focuses on a supposed 'Haunted School' and an Incident that occurred there in the past. With your two friends, Shuhei and Hiromi, explore the Haunted School. Online there were claims of a ghost summoning ritual that allows you to speak with the dead using only your cellphones. They called this ritual, The Digital Chain.
By using Key Words that you learn through dialogue, you move the story along at your own pace. These Key Words can be Names, Locations, and other sorts of things that you gather through Dialogue. Presenting a Key Word to the group represents starting your own coversation with that Key Word as the subject. One Key Word can lead to the next, creating a chain of messages that push the story along.
The game is a bit experimental (for me). Any feedback on things like the primary gameplay loop or the writing would be very helpful going forward.
