Snail Story: Love Edition (Demo)

It all began with a simple question—what would a visual novel about snails look like?  

Thus began our year-long journey of developing a ridiculous dating sim idea. The game is inspired by dozens of inputs contributed by many enthusiastic individuals about snail lore. It transpires in a secluded town, home of snail people—Shelltown.  Follow our heroine in a journey of self-discovery as she learns what it truly means to be a snail.

What if a snail can’t accept herself for who she is?  Ms. Escargot believes that she will be happier joining the humans, and so she enrolls for a prestigious human university. She gets accepted, which gives her more reason to leave Shelltown. Her quest to break out of her shell begins. 

Unfortunately, things don’t pan out as smoothly as she thought they would. She meets many potential love interests as she learns more about herself and her past. Mysteries are unraveled, and they make her question what it truly means to be a snail person. 

Is Shelltown really as peaceful as it seems? 

Who will Ms. Escargot fall in love with?

And will she get to touch the snailor's barnacles?

 Your choices will determine what answers are discovered and if our main character gets the happy ending she deserves. 

Snail Story: Love Edition, will contain over 15+ cinematic graphics (CGs) , with the option of adding more depending on our budget. 

The game currently has two routes with over 100K words, each of them containing a full story-arc that is book-length with multiple good and bad endings. If the scope of our project is allowed to expand, we're considering adding more arcs with different characters to enrich the Snail Story world.

Examples of our CGs: 

CHOICES MATTER in the game. They affect the outcome of the game based on two systems: a fork and a point-based system. 

Some choices will lead to completely different outcomes. They relate closely to crucial moments in the main character's journey. Choose carefully. 

 Say the right things to enamor your love interests! If they like your responses, a heart will appear. 

 As a bonus, snaillies (that's what Shellfolk call snails) will be found hiding in the backgrounds. The first one is a giveaway. 

Will you be able to find them all?
