The Novelist asks one central question: can you achieve your dreams without pushing away the people you love? The game focuses on Dan Kaplan, a novelist struggling to write the most important book of his career while trying to be the best husband and father he can be. The Kaplans have come to a remote coastal home for the summer, unaware that theyre sharing the house with a mysterious ghostly presence: you.
Read the familys thoughts. Explore their memories. Uncover their desires and intervene in their lives. But stay out of sight; you cant help the Kaplans if they know theres a ghost in the house. Its up to you to decide how Dans career and family life will evolve, but choose carefully; there are no easy answers, and every choice has a cost.
Dans relationships to his work, his wife, and his son react and shift in response to your choices. With a different sequence of events in every playthrough, The Novelist gives life to a unique experience each time you play.
The decisions you make will define the Kaplans lives, but they may also tell you something about yourself.
