Dripping Of The Insect Cage
A downloadable game for Windows
SUMMARY
Kira Adams, as punishment for her night of debauchery is is sent to their aunt’s motel to manage for a few days, not so much because she’s qualified but because her father wants to keep her out of public view while the election is going on.
What starts out like a standard, boring, vacation quickly descends into something more sinister as unexplained incidents start happening.
One of the workers claim the place is haunted by ghosts of past guests... maybe there's more to that than meets the eye? Is the motel truly crawling with ghosts or is Kira just finally losing her mind?

The most ominous thing about this VN is the "update coming soon... probably" at the very end.
Is an update coming soon or not?? I want to know what happens next!!!
This is a pretty good intro! The characters have a lot of personality (Kira is so grumpy hehe), the writing is lively and evocative, and it managed to set up a lot of interesting mysteries very early on.
The use of sound effects is also really good! There's quite a few SFX and they work really well in creating an atmosphere and in telling a story. The blackscreen + all of the driving SFX near the beginning was really nice; a good example of using the VN as a medium to inform the reader what's happening without using any words.
The sound direction in this is p good...
It'd be nice if it had a custom UI, and sometimes the effects on the text were so Intense it was a bit hard to read what was being said, but I enjoyed this overall! Am excited for the rest!
Also, I probably shouldn't've found Kira's dad charismatic, but I did lol
Contrary to what Kira might think, I kinda like him hahaha
It took me a while to respond to this because it was one of the nicest comments I've received on a project ;u;
