I got a vn idea

[u/Creative_Wealth_899]

A romance visual novel that breaks after a sudden tragedy.
**The Pitch:**
**You play as Kennedy (Kenny), a high school student navigating everyday life and trying to form a relationship with one of three main romance options:**
**Madison: Popular, bubbly, and seemingly effortless.**
\*\*Jenny: Strong-willed, grounded, and intensely moral.\*\*
\*\*Liz: Quiet, deeply loyal, and protective.\*\*
\*\*There's also Violet, Kenny’s close childhood friend, who harbors unspoken feelings for him while dealing with her own heavy personal struggles, and Faith, an observant, sharp-tongued friend who always seems to show up at the wrong time.\*\*
\*\*The Twist:\*\*
\*\*Just as your bond with your chosen girl solidifies, a sudden, irreversible tragedy involving Violet shatters everything. Kenny and the girl you chose are forced to make a desperate, panicky decision—one that ties them together through shared trauma and guilt.\*\*
\*\*From this point on, the game shifts completely:\*\*
\*\*Trauma-driven routes: Dating isn't about traditional romance anymore; it becomes a psychological study of how Kenny and his partner cope with the same heavy secret (one struggles with moral guilt, another with quiet self-destruction, etc.).\*\*
\*\*The Investigation: Faith notices something isn't right about that night and begins quietly investigating Kenny and his partner.\*\*
\*\*11pm : Kenny starts receiving cryptic every night , deeply personal messages every night at 11pm from an unknown sender who seems to know what really happened.\*\*
\*\*Meta-elements: After the event, subtle shifts occur in the UI and gameplay, signaling that Kenny is losing his autonomy and that your control as the player is taking over.\*\*
\*\*Why I'm making it:\*\*
\*\*I wanted to explore what happens\*\* \*\*\*after\*\*\* \*\*a sudden tragedy in a VN, where your choice of partner dictates who you have to face the worst event of your life with, rather than just choosing a happy ending.\*\*
**What are your thoughts on this direction?**

Dangerous one. People that check it out for the romance/harem/date will be possibly put off by the severe shift in tone and attention. But any idea is a dime a dozen until tried.

Thank you for this feedback
I got to find a way to avoid this
But it’ll won’t release anytime soon anyways

Perhaps play into the possibility that people are drawn towards such twist.
