Murder Clown: Dating Sim ― Story

Murder Clown is a choice-based horror dating sim visual novel about a serial killer terrorizing a small town, with two heroines and multiple endings. You're the key witness, and your choices decide who you trust, who you grow close to, and whether the killer is stopped in time.

Synopsis

You still remember the first time you heard about the murders. Every victim was found with a painted face, and every killing was strange and unsettlingly precise. It didn't take long for the whole town to be talking about nothing else.

Around the same time, a mysterious, beautiful transfer student named Kanon arrives at your school. She seems indifferent to everything and everyone. Then you become the key witness to a crime, one where the victim was last seen in the company of a clown.

The very next day, you save Kanon from the killer clown.

From that moment on, you, Kanon, and your childhood friend Yuka join forces to track down the killer and end this before anyone else dies.

Characters

Kanon — the cool-headed transfer student
Quiet and extremely sharp, Kanon approaches everything with logic, though she's more than willing to experiment if it gets better results. For all her calm, she's remarkably stubborn, and once she's reached a conclusion, very little will move her.

Behind the stoic exterior is a good deal of pride and a dry, sarcastic wit. Every so often she drops an unexpected remark or joke, either to break the tension or to needle whoever's nearby. And there seems to be a deeper reason behind both her arrival in town and her intense interest in the killer clown.

Yuka — your childhood friend
A skilled martial artist who regularly lets herself into your house, sometimes with food, sometimes just to hang around.

At school she plays the composed honor student, glasses and polished manners included. Around you, that act drops completely, and what's underneath is relaxed, affectionate, and just a little lazy.
Whether the two of you can work together to stop the killer is another question.

The Murder Clown
A serial killer whose origins no one knows. Clown imagery, props, and a twisted sense of humor mark every crime. The Murder Clown seems to target people who are isolated and struggling, claiming to give them a smile that lasts forever.
