Introduction
Hi all! We’re a passionate group of fans that sought out solidarity within the community in the wake of negative internet discourse about fandom shipping, and came together to create a visual novel that seeks to explore the matters of the heart and mind of Aloy.
After putting out a call into the community for writers, artists, coders, and musicians, our project group very quickly became 30-plus strong, organizing into teams for each companion character who will feature as a love interest path in our dating-sim/visual novel fangame.
We wanted to show our passion for these characters in a way that can be shared to all corners of the fandom, in a fun, lighthearted way; with a bit of comedy, a bit of lore and headcanons, and of course, all our love. This passion project is the result of some of the most incredible and heartwarming community collaboration, and we can’t wait to share it.
