Since I can't show anything right now of my in-progress game, I think it'd be good to reshow a game in the same witch universe! I consider "I Wish You Would Let Me Go" a bit of a sister game, to "You Know We Kinda Suck, Right?" I'll mention why after it's done! #visualnovel #indiedev #urbanfantasy

[ Staff and Patient Identification File ] All traits and traumas documented ⚙️💉 #visualnovel #indiegame #indiedev #ocs
Height and physical trait chart of all Pupa Project characters. From left to right is Henrietta, Cassandra, Amaryllis, Blythe, Mr. Gryllidae, Thomas, Dr. Montague, and Dr. Caldwell. All the women are wearing a chemise, corset, and bloomers. All of the men are wearing Victorian styled underpants. Blythe is wearing a chemise, children’s corset, and bloomers, as well as her black and white stockings. Henrietta is covered in bruises on her arms and knuckles, her eyes are red and irritated. Cassandra’s corset is pink, unlike the other’s whose are grey. Her bloomers and chemise are bright and clean. She is wearing pink padding to fill out her corset’s bust. Her eyes are a bit red and irritated, her fingers are also red. Amaryllis has scars up and down her arms. Her eyes have heavy eye bags and dark circles underneath them. Blythe has dark under eyes and pinkish color surrounding the rest of them. She has small scars on her arms from picking at her skin. Mr. Gryllidae has arms made of bronze metal, just like his neck and cricket head. His torso, however, is flesh, save for a metallic, visible heart in the center of his chest. His underpants are fancy and frilly, the buttons swirly and teal, and he is wearing a leg brace on his right leg. Thomas has bandages around his chest and dark under eyes. His underpants are a dull grey. Dr. Montague has dark eye bags and slight bruising on his right cheek. Dr. Caldwell is the healthiest looking out of the group. Both doctors’ underpants are bright white.
