All-Seeing – Greg's Games

As the future-seeing Captain, the player is initially empowered with infallibility

The villain can see the past of others perfectly; the player can see their own possible future.

At first the player’s choices can never fail and just effect the feelings of your squadmates; eventually this is turned against the player

I subverted typical visual novels by having points towards each character liking you like a dating sim, but having it instead be who betrays you at the end

This project was made for an Interactive Narrative Elective using Renpy and was the most writing I’ve done in years. The game sees the player as the Captain of a group of 4 (3 excluding themselves) Psychic UN Peacekeepers in a world where various psychic powers are present in a minority of people and some use it for terrorism. The player needs to lead their squad to defuse a bomb, save hostages, and capture the terrorist leader- the player character is obvious for this because they can see the future. I did this because most people replay and skip around visual novels until they get their ideal ending- what if that was what the character was doing too?

Each of the 5 principle characters are portrayed by pictures I took of my friends that I then silhouetted and altered. I also recorded a little bit of dialogue from them to be put in later. Finally, the backgrounds are all either pictures I took myself or free backgrounds found online that were then altered in FotoSketcher.
