Pen to Paper
An experimental hybrid of a visual novel with a journaling game. You and the narrator tell the story of a traveller leaving home to seek something special, you decide the details as the journey is carried out.
The journalling angle is re-using some ideas I had in a previous game Writing Desk.

Special thanks to the Action Editor library, and this video that explained how to use it to create the animations in this game (I recommend checking it out, it's actually quite simple!)

Yesss, that's exactly the vibe I was thinking of. If I turn this concept into a bigger game, I'd be tempted to even add the kind of combat, hp and inventory tracking of those old books. I'd need to re-read some for inspiration...
really sweet way of making a story up! my brain is buzzing with imagination from all the prompts the game presented me with, had a lot of fun c:
