It's just something people do!

UGHHHH YEAH WHATEVER I MADE NEW OCS GET OFF MY CASE

so the concept is a creepy visual rpg/fighter game where all of the character sprites are either photobashed poorly (by me<3) or shittily sketched (by me!)

we follow our main character (nameless so far ☹️) who is a PARINOID person. like me. i am projecting hardcore. everything ive experienced in my parinoia and anxieties, they also will experience, then some.

then we have our detective agency!! (I LOVE DETECTIVES‼️‼️) one of thems the happy go-lucky Masaru! they wear funky ties, and leads the investigation of [main character]! their "sidekick" [unnamed emo one with the bangs] is a lot more realistic and is the only one who understands the horrors and the weight of their job and this current case. there are some other detectives because i <3 detectives and i cant stop making them

their dynamic is very much optimist x pessimist x realist

the detectives are investigating the many missing peoples in town, and decide to talk to the hermit [main character] to see what they know. of course, two detectives knocking on their door doesnt lead to good things! they spiral, and once the detectives finally find their way in, theyre lost in [main characters] world of monsters and surreal illusions

uhmmmm theres a twist but i made these guys like 2 days ago in the shower so idk if i want to flesh it out first/spoil it/change it so thatll be l8r when i design the npcs/monsters :3 feel free to theorize for now though!

i think that's it for the plot, i dont rlly have it fleshed out a ton :,)

heres my first attempt at photobashing the main character

i like a lot of details, but im not really satisfied with either yet :/

some doodles:

^my first ever drafts of them!
