Background

This horror visual novel was made for Spooktober 6th Annual Visual Novel Jam.

We brainstormed in Excalidraw and decided to make a haunted mansion inheritance game. We then wrote the game design document.

We chose Ren’Py as our game engine. When the game jam started, we generated a repository from remarkablegames/renpy-template.

We added the following game mechanics:

  • day-and-night cycle
  • inventory system
  • point-and-click exploration
  • puzzles

We prototyped most of our features in remarkablegames/renpy-examples.

We submitted the first version to Brackeys Game Jam 2024.2 to get feedback.

Big shoutout to David Wamala for voicing the Lord!
