Equilibrar sueños y familia es el corazón de esta aventura indie. Guías al novelista Dan Kaplan en su verano más duro, en una aislada casa costera, donde malabarea su libro decisivo para su carrera con sus responsabilidades como esposo y padre. Una presencia fantasmal te permite espiar los pensamientos de la familia, explorar sus recuerdos, desvelar deseos ocultos y moldear sutilmente sus destinos... todo sin ser visto.
Las decisiones reverberan en los lazos de Dan con su trabajo, su esposa y su hijo, desatando eventos nuevos en cada partida. Ninguna elección es liviana, sin soluciones fáciles a la vista. Los jugadores casuales atraídos por relatos reflexivos y rejugables hallarán ecos de sí mismos en las vidas cambiantes de los Kaplan.
The Novelist asks one central question: can you achieve your dreams without pushing away the people you love? The game focuses on Dan Kaplan, a novelist struggling to write the most important book of his career while trying to be the best husband and father he can be. The Kaplans have come to a remote coastal home for the summer, unaware that they’re sharing the house with a mysterious ghostly presence: you.
Read the family’s thoughts. Explore their memories. Uncover their desires and intervene in their lives. But stay out of sight; you can’t help the Kaplans if they know there’s a ghost in the house. It’s up to you to decide how Dan’s career and family life will evolve, but choose carefully; there are no easy answers, and every choice has a cost.
Dan’s relationships – to his work, his wife, and his son – react and shift in response to your choices. With a different sequence of events in every playthrough, The Novelist gives life to a unique experience each time you play.
The decisions you make will define the Kaplans’ lives, but they may also tell you something about yourself.
