Bloodshreddrzz

"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 one of two planned prequel stories made to accompany a larger story, referred to as Hemotropic Friendship Virus. HFV is currently an active work-in-progress, and has been for nearly three years now. Only recently have I begun to finally start adapting it into visual novel format, and I am very excited to share what I have made.

If you're interested in learning more about the story, you can check out the "HFV" pages on my blog, babycatplanet.com! I've already prepared a decent amount of stuff that's available to read. It's a Tumblr blog, so you can also follow me there if you want to keep up with the development of future visual novels.
