A romantic slice of life meets fantasy story that everyone can enjoy, with slight nods to Lewis Carroll’s Alice stories. [GxB/GxG/BxB]
But this isn’t the typical Alice in Wonderland styled story! While A Very Important Date takes a few notes from the Carroll classics, you don't have to be a big fan of them to enjoy this game for its rich dialogue, witty humor, and unique art style!
All stories are written by Noëlle Hyzy, the winner of Voltage Inc.'s 4th Annual International Script Writing Contest for Romance Apps. The full finished release of A Very Important Date will feature:
- 8 suitors (7 males and 1 female)
- Expressive animated characters
- 12 chapters for each Suitor's Main Story
- 3 possible endings per Main Story
- 3 chapter Epilogues for each Suitor
- 40+ hours of content across all stories
- ≈50,000 words per Main Story
- 300,000+ words across the whole game
- At least 6 CGs per Main Story
- Main character CG options
- 14 amazing tracks from Composer Geoff Moore
- 60+ beautiful backgrounds
- Episodic content
- Available for Windows, Mac, and Linux
- Available for iOS and Android
This demo consists of our game's prologue and the start of three character's routes, where we introduce Alison, build the wondrous town of Mimsboro, and give players a chance to get to know Gwyn Arkwright, Emil Vasile, and Rory MacClelland of The Looking Glass crew over the course of 9 total chapters.
Features in this demo:
- Tutorial Screen at the beginning of the Prologue
- Save/Load/Delete feature
- Choice options
- CG/Event Illustration toggle feature
- Quit Menu that allows you to go back to the Main Menu
- 3 Chapters for Gwyn, Emil, and Rory for a total of 9 chapters
- 40,588 Words in total for about 5 hours worth of story
- 5 Songs from Composer Geoff Moore
To pull up the menu bar, press ESC or P keys.
For those that plan to play through more than one character's story without playing through the Prologue again, you’ll want to save in the Prologue when Alison says “Um… I guess I’ll work with…”
Hello everyone,
If you wonderful people have not yet heard, we’ve hit 104% on our second Kickstarter attempt!
But this isn’t the end of our Kickstarter adventure! We have 11 days left on our new campaign and we have seven stretch goals to aim for. The first of these stretch goals is to have a Boys Love side story attached to A Very Important Date’s main game. This will be a three to four chapters short story that will feature our main game’s cast. If this goal is reached, any backer at a $30+ tier will get this side story for free! (If you do not want this side story, it could be traded for a future side story instead.)
We would also like to let our previous backers know that we are going to do a Facebook live stream for our second Kickstarter backers on Thursday. Access to the live stream group starts at only $15! We hope to see you all there!
Along with this, in our newest Backer Only post on the second Kickstarter and Facebook, we have posted our recent completed song by Geoff Moore, two new backgrounds, and WIPs of two characters for our Spin-Off visual novel.
All of our previous backers who have returned to back us once again, we thank you so much for your continued support! For previous backers that have yet to follow us over there, time is running out! Please consider pledging to our second Kickstarter so we can meet our stretch goals! Remember our rewards start at just $1.
My otome/visual novel team is doing a Kickstarter Live on tomorrow at 8PM EDT. We'll be answering questions and showing off some of the physical add-on rewards.
Noelle and Justin will be answering questions. We plan to have some of our team members on-call to help answer questions.
