Fishhooked/Mandelbröt Thread

[mipy]

Hi all, this is a separate/related thread to this thread here! Why am I making a separate forum thread for this? Mainly because the OCs on display there are getting an official game/website/etc!

Please note that these projects are still in *very* early development [ like , concepting stage ] and due to health issues progress on this will be very slow!


So with all of that aside, what is Fishhooked?
Fishhooked will be a queer horror visual novel made in Ren'py about a blind man moving into a small town where he meets a mysterious man and unravels the secrets of the town, along with the complicated relationship he has with this man who may not be what he seems.


On the other hand, Mandelbröt is a surrealist horror roguelike made in RPGmaker MV, following the mysterious man from the first game trapped in a timeloop where he dies every week. He's forced to look in an infinite labyrinth that's appeared underneath his house for answers, and a potential way to stop the loop altogether.


Here are a list of trigger warnings for the project as a whole! Please note that although some of these may sound bad the project is intended for 16+ audiences so they may be more mild than explicit! Still, I need to warn for these things for my own ease of mind. These may likely not be brought up in thread and even if they are the especially heavy stuff will be spoilered. I wanna keep this thread as light as possible!

Trigger Warnings

- Abuse + toxic relationships
- [ heavily implied ] S/A
- Addiction and homelessness
- Blood, gore, and body horror
- Cults/religious themes
- Self harm, suicide
- Eating disorders/Heavy food imagery
- Sex exclusively implied, neutrally discussed, or portrayed through metaphor. this isn't a nsfw game
- Tokophobia/Pregnancy and parasite imagery
- Discrimination [ primarily misogyny , ableism and transphobia ]
- Generally Dark Themes [ this is supposed to be like, a horror game lol ]

I want the game to have an "open source" development so I'll post progress updates here when significant progress is made :-]
