Ghost School (Wandering Artist)

A short visual novel made in 3 days for Bitsy Jam #66 (https://itch.io/jam/bitsy-66-ghosts-on-holiday).

I was inspired by old horror movies that I've watched during this year's Halloween. I wanted to make a lofi, minimalistic vn with some of the tropes of that genre (flashback intro, school at night, holiday season, group of kids looking for danger and so on...). There's a specific mood to those movies that really makes them comfy to me, I hope I've managed to recreate at least a bit of that atmosphere. 

I think this idea can be developed more in the future, adding more features and refining/expanding the story.

English might be a bit weird because it's not my native language and I didn't have time to involve another person to proof-read, sorry for that!

For the graphics I've used images generated by Stable Diffusion AI, ported to Bitsy thanks to the great Pixsy hack https://ruin.itch.io/pixsy. Music was added with Bitsy Muse https://github.com/seleb/bitsy-hacks/blob/main/dist/bitsymuse.js

Music was also inspired by old horror movies, especially the chaotic spooky music from Silent Night Deadly Night (1984) which perfectly fits with the holiday setting.

Music (made by me) will be available in the future on my bandcamp: https://wanderingartist.bandcamp.com/
