We were thinking about this for November, but that thing we were clearing the board for won't be done until April, annnnnnnnd we just got in a battle system for an unannounced game that we are {i}very happy with{/i}, plus we want to give the post-summer RPGs room to breathe....
So. Kinsmen is gonna be our game for Renpy Month, and then we'll work on the final three.
It's a narrative and choice based politics sim. We almost backburnered it because of the crap that is happening in the world. It takes place in the old school Elsinore Academy, but we felt the gameplay was different enough from the past Elsinore Academy games to warrant it.
We've all had that nightmare where we're back in college, on stage, naked, and absolutely failing at performing Shakespeare's Hamlet. Now it is in video game form! You wake up in a strange dorm room, with a strange cot boy or cat girl roommate, depending on what you picked during character creation. Everything looks funky, probably because of all the backgrounds are pre-made art assets. Before you know it, you are thrust into a week of Shakespearian thrills, chills, and literature! Survive the entire week and hope to wake from this dramatic nightmare, where you go to school during the day, but perform a play that you keep forgetting the lines to by night!
In this visual novel/dating sim/anxiety simulator, either know the entire text of Hamlet, or perish. Only don't really perish. There's no fail state for not knowing Hamlet. You just might not get laid.
