Reel Feelings!
A narrative design project exploring how gameplay systems can reinforce emotional storytelling through branching dialogue and an original fishing minigame.
Reel Feelings! is a six-day visual novel that combines branching dialogue with an original fishing minigame to explore how mechanics can support pacing, worldbuilding and player relationships. Developed as a solo project, it demonstrates my approach to narrative design, gameplay systems and technical implementation in Ren'Py.
