A Narrative Horror Game by Rosales Entertainment

Overview

Nightwalkers: Continuum is an interactive 2D horror narrative that merges visual novel storytelling with decision-driven gameplay. Set in the haunting hills of South Texas, the game follows a group of travelers who uncover an ancient evil hidden beneath a ghost town. Blending the intimacy of character-driven drama with the tension of survival horror, players navigate love, faith, lies, and moral collapse across 12 interconnected episodes.

Core Gameplay

  • Branching Narrative: Choices shape relationships, fates, and access to hidden storylines.
  • Affinity System: Companions’ trust and affection shift with the player’s actions. Extremes unlock unique behaviors:
    • Lovesick (High Affinity): Devotion turns dangerous.
    • Condemned (Low Affinity): Isolation fuels corruption.
  • Continuum Tokens: Represent faith and sanity. Lose them all, and darkness wins.
  • Above/Below Duality: Moral descent mirrors physical descent into the underground.
  • Lie Mechanic: Deception influences Affinity and Continuum; the world remembers across playthroughs.

Unique Selling Points

  • Episodic Format: 12 chapters released in pairs for long-term engagement.
  • Replayable Depth: 12 unlockable companions, multiple playable protagonists, and dynamic outcomes.
  • Meta Progression: The Continuum Memory system tracks every lie, love, and betrayal across runs.
  • Visual Style: Anime-inspired realism meets Southern Gothic horror.
  • Reactive Audio: Music and ambient tone shift with Affinity and Token states.

Production Plan

  • Prototype Engine: Godot 4 with Yarn Spinner for branching dialogue and QTE micro-games.
  • Scope: 12 episodes; 3–5 hours per playthrough.
  • Prototype Budget: ~$10K to develop a vertical slice for publisher submission.
  • Open Beta: Early access phase to collaborate with TikTok creators and gaming influencers for organic promotion and player feedback.
  • Seed Funding Goal: $50K to complete Beta production and distribution through a publishing partner.
  • Revenue Model: Steam and console digital sales, episodic DLC, and collector editions.

Investment Opportunity

Legal Protections & Compliance: A portion of the raised funds will be allocated toward international legal protections, including intellectual property registration, global licensing compliance, and content rating clearances. This ensures secure worldwide distribution and safeguards the brand’s creative assets.

Rosales Entertainment now seeks $150K in seed funding to complete the full prototype, implement voice acting, and produce a polished vertical slice demo for publisher and platform review. Investors receive first-look rights for equity participation or co-production credit upon full financing.
