What would you do if you were on a perfectly normal date with the Geatish warrior-king, Beowulf, when suddenly a dashing Grendel arrives to stir up trouble? With her final project, Libby Blackshire offers us an interactive dating sim for the ages! We’ll let Libby explain the project in her own words:
For my final portfolio project, I decided to make an interactive visual novel in which you date different characters from the four time periods we studied. The dates and characters are modernized; this helps observe how well these characters’ actions and personalities translate to today! On these dates, you will progress through dialogue and text, sometimes making decisions about what to say or do that can impact how you enjoy! Feel free to let me know what you think after playing!
The game is packed with enough interactive content and tie-ins to premodern textual history to delight video game aficionados and literature buffs alike! We hope you will find Libby’s visual novel as creative, fun, and witty as we did.
