A downloadable visual novel for Windows, macOS, and Linux

(Note: This game has been made to be more accessible to players relying on Ren'Py's Self-Voicing accessibility feature. If Self-Voicing is enabled, images will have alt text provided, characters' appearances will be described when they first debut on-screen, and extra notes only available through Self-Voicing will be added in to further accommodate visually impaired readers. Pressing the "V" key anytime while in-game will toggle Self-Voicing.)

"A visual novel about five outcast teenage girls finding each other... oh, and starting a super cool band together."

(Full title - Hemotropic Friendship Virus: Bloodshreddrzz)

Maeve, Veda, Winnie, Mina, and Felicity are all incoming freshman this year at North East High School. Each girl has lived her whole life feeling isolated from her peers, having her own unique reasons for struggling to connect with those around her. However, this year, they will all discover that the empathy these experiences have granted them may be far more valuable than they ever could have imagined.

Each chapter of this story takes place from the perspective of a different one of the five girls, granting insight into each girl's home life, manner of thinking, and other troubles she may face on the regular. There are six chapters: one for each girl, as well as an epilogue. Depending on your reading speed, it will likely take you somewhere between forty-five minutes to two hours to complete (estimates based on times it took beta-readers to complete.) The story is entirely linear; there are no dialogue choices, and there is only one ending.

Bloodshreddrzz is a spin-off story to the larger Hemotropic Friendship Virus series of visual novels (currently a work-in-progress.)

(Content Warning: The story of Bloodshreddrzz contains frequent discussion of multiple sensitive topics, mainly related to trauma and poor mental health.

hi.

is this blind-accessible like your other games?

if so, can you add the tag?

Hello! This game does not have the tag on it because it was not originally made to be blind-accessible, but I am currently working on an update to fix this so that it is accessible like the rest of my games. It's been coming along quite slowly due to my work on the new game, but seeing this comment is very motivating to me! I still have a lot of free time to work on games right now,  so finishing the accessibility update should only really take me a few days if I focus on it entirely, which I will now go ahead and do. 

Replying to this comment again to say that I have now finished and released the update. The game is now accessible like my other games!
