I've got something unusual for y'all today: a VR visual novel. Still in production but it has a demo, thought someone might find it interesting.

PROJECT MIX is a VR narrative adventure inspired by ‘90s anime and Hong Kong cinema — and the debut title from PLECTRUM SOFT.

You play as Rone, a young former triad member desperate to leave his criminal past behind. After a chance encounter with Valencia, the eccentric owner of the Eleventh Heaven Bar, he finds himself starting down an unexpected new path - working as a bartender.

Play the PROJECT MIX VR Demo on Steam!

I checked out the demo today. It has a single work day with multiple characters, a casual hangout scene with your boss and an option to play around your apartment at the end of the day (you can pet the cat there!).

Writing is aiming for a VA-11 Hall-A like vibe, a bit less refined (it's just an early demo after all) but with it's own tone so no need to worry about a full on clone attempt. It also has some dialogue options to make things a bit more personal and interesting.

Graphically game looks nice and is simple enough to run perfectly well on my potato PC. Mixing interactions can be a little janky at times but work really well for the most part - also really intuitive. Musically it once again can be a bit similar to VA-11 Hall-A but not in a bad way, I don't think I dislike any of the demo tracks.

I can safely say I had quite a bit of fun with this one and will be backing it. Seems really promising.
