ABOUT
Reconnect is a short Visual Novel designed to be romantic and somewhat fluffy. With incest. And Black Metal because love is scary.
It will be released Complete and no further updates other than (hopefully no) bugfixes will be added.
The tentative release date is on or around 21/5/2022. The current state of the game is mostly complete (roughly 15 renders to go at time of writing and that's it) and will be released to Supporters the week prior to general release.
MAIN PLOT
Reconnect is an incestuous tale of romance and the rediscovery of a love thought lost. The MC is abruptly confronted by his cousin, who he lost contact with when he ran away from home six years before. At the time, the two were exploring their sexuality and this has left both feeling their relationship was never fully defined.
In one short evening, the MC will have the chance to repair the damage he caused when he left her behind.
MAIN CHARACTERS
- MC: MC left home shortly before his 16th birthday. He spent the next 6 years making a living and wallowing in self-pity. During this time, he discovered Black Metal. That's not important to the plot, but does add colour. Mostly black.
- COUSIN: MC's cousin spent her six years without the MC feeling lost and alone. She's confused and hopeful. Don't hurt her feelings.
- BARISTA: There has to be a bartender, or in this case a Barista, to give some happy life advice. No, you can't bang her. Don't be a dick to your cousin, fam. Besides, your Barista is Italian and her uncle would fuck you hard in the ass and dump your body in the bay if you so much as blinked at her. He would, you know.
DIALOGUE CHOICES
The game has only one ending, so there's no real need to consider dialogue choices as anything more than cosmetic. Having said that, the choices WILL change the dialogue along the way in unexpected and (hopefully) fun ways.
There is no rollback feature in this game, and to be honest it is pointless to have one. Your choice doesn't always have an immediate effect and every choice is remembered so will change dialogue throughout the game.
Some dialogue options may not be present if relevant choices were not made previously.
That doesn't mean there's a sneaky one-way to play where you'll get all the choices in one play through. EACH choice has its effects and dialogue both immediate and in the future. Feel free to choose the one you like the most and you'll be fine.
Trust me...
MUSIC
I couldn't pirate my favourite Black Metal music for this (for fairly obvious reasons, fam) and had to rely instead on music I paid to use. I chose the best I could find which matched the basic feel. If you feel the need to point out to me the music isn't Black Metal enough, please feel free to direct your emails to
idontgiveashit@someemail.com. I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
If you don't LIKE the music, there's an option to turn it off the same way I'd turn off your Justin Bieber music if you played it in front of me. If you'd like to register your rage at my daring to include music you don't personally approve of, feel free to email me at
ireallydontgiveashit@anotheremail.com and I'll definitely consult you for musical choices in the future.
