The Secret of Hokwiton is a visual novel complemented with gameplay elements of a point and click adventure. The core idea of the gameplay design is to have more interactive and diverse gameplay while avoiding the grind and repetition that occurs in many games of this type.

In The Secret of Hokwiton, you accompany our main character named Harmony on her adventure, attending her first year in the magical school, Hokwiton. As if diving into a new world full of magic wasn't enough, many secrets are waiting to be discovered. On your adventure, you will meet many interesting characters and magical creatures and make new friends along the way.

The first release version of the game 0.1.0 was developed over 1 year. The focus was, aside from getting the core functionality up and working, the main story of the game. Because the development of the story is going alongside the development of the game, it made sense to push the main arc to get a feeling for the scope of the game.

You will meet all the main characters of the game and get an idea about the game’s mechanics. As mentioned before, the focus in this version is on the main story. Because I write the story along with the future development of the game, it is hard to tell the exact point you are on the story at the end of this version. An estimated guess would be 50%-60%.

The priority is to finish the main story arc. Then there are many possibilities to add additional content to the game. Many interesting characters are currently not developed. Many side activities, like working at the magical shop, lack content. And last, but not least, the classes that could be expanded on.

Look at version 0.1.0 and imagine that it took about a year to create. This is likely the progress you can expect. Of course, updates will be more frequent but as someone with a full-time job, I can’t promise that the progress will increase. If you still decide to show your support by subscribing, I am, of course, deeply grateful.
