Hi everyone,

I'm working on a narrative-driven dark/dystopian visual novel called ZBD (Zero BPM Dynamics). The setting: a hidden company that runs an underground "extreme reality show" — new employees unknowingly sign up for a nightmare. Five playable roles, each with their own investigation mechanics and a distinct ending — all of them tragic. No happy endings, that's intentional.

What's done so far: full world-building doc, 5 character profiles, and the opening 3 scenes (fully scripted) for one storyline (Security dept.), including a working suspicion/stress meter system.

Looking for: a writing partner to bounce ideas off, help develop the remaining storylines, and keep the tone consistent. Some writing experience preferred, but honestly I just want someone who vibes with the concept and wants to dig into dark psychological narrative design together.

Happy to share more details/docs if you're interested. Text or voice chat both work for me.

Thanks for reading!

Don't know if this is still open, but i would be up to help. I'm writer and game designer with 6+ years of experience.

Sent you a request! I hope u still searching

Hello, are you still looking? I'd love to see screenshots and give you a hand in a couple character storylines. 💚
