spice + life
An idea for a life simulator with visual novel elements. It focuses on community building through small businesses and interpersonal relationships. Dating systems + mini games of course. I have zero game dev experience so this is simply something I will longingly think about making while looking out of a window. Realistically, I know there's too much going on here for one game but who gaf!!!
setting
A small, seaside town. Mostly secluded due to the surrounding mountains. Its quiet and reflective nature attracts those looking for a slower pace of life. Its people tend to be modest and hardworking. Fish markets are its main source of income, though things have been looking rough lately. The center of town has many stone houses built close together, but dense grass fields and forests overtake the land further out.
The town has many local legends about magical beings that came from the ocean. Witches, beasts, sirens, that sort of thing. Some are benevolent while others are said to bring flooding and landslides. Worship traditions are seen as old fashioned, but shrines can be found here and there.
