Project
Ripple Effect is a narrative adventure game with light exploration and choice-driven gameplay, inspired by Life is Strange, Firewatch, Night in the Woods, and Until Then.
You play as "Rosie", a shy teenager who has just moved to a new town and started at a new school. Instead of health bars, the game focuses on Rosie's emotional state. As bullying affects her confidence, the world gradually becomes darker and more distorted while her inner voice, "Doubt", slowly takes physical form.
During free time, players choose how Rosie copes:
📷 Photography
🤝 Spending time with friends
🚶 Avoidance
💨 Vaping
Every decision creates a ripple effect that changes Rosie's relationships, emotional state, and ultimately leads to one of four endings.
Current Progress:
Complete Game Design Document
Story outline
Core gameplay mechanics planned
Four endings planned
Main characters designed
UI and menu concepts
Mood boards and visual references
Demo soundtrack
Playable prototype (movement, camera, and NPC interaction)
Visual direction established (2.5D pixel art)
Revenue Share
This is currently a revenue-share passion project. If we reach a polished playable demo, I'd like to pursue funding through Kickstarter, Steam, or other opportunities. Any future revenue will be split based on each team member's contribution.
