My idea for my dissertation year project at Leeds Art University project running from 2020 – 2021, was to create concept designs for a visual novel with a storyline set around a virtual killing game. The story follows six trick or treaters on Halloween night in the 1980’2 finding themselves treading onto the private property and seemingly abandoned Harmony Vale Manor. To their surprise, after being enveloped into darkness after entering the estates ground, they find themselves trapped in the manor, with their only means of escape being directed by the antagonise in the form of a killing game.
My key influences for my dissertation project would be genres such as Gothic and Neo/Victorian, alongside looking into case studies on current visual novel games and other influences I believed would benefit my design process.
