It’s been an amazing journey. The ups and downs have been huge, and it’s hard for me to believe the game is actually going to be out in the world soon. I truly hope you all enjoy it, and thanks again for all of your patience and support.
In The Novelist, players will assume the role of a ghostly presence in the house of writer Dan Kaplan. The story revolves around the struggles of Kaplan to balance work and his relationship with his family. Chapters can differ through each playthrough of the game as well.
