What is it?

The Maestro and the Marionette is a visual novel I'm currently working on.
A story about a boy getting trapped in a dream and forced into an informal battle royale with a bunch of weird doll kids.

A demo of the first 20% of the story is available to read for free on itch.io!

Characters

(Clicking on their images goes to more detailed profiles on Toyhou.se!)

Chris and James

Chris, a boy trapped in dream, and James, a doll who is trying to help him escape (for some reason).
Chris is a very stubborn and blunt person; James...isn't.



Other characters

I swear these kids will be easy to tell apart if you read the demo!! I promise!!!

The Maestro

The part of me that wants to be cagey and mysterious versus the part of me that
has also already posted goofy-ass comics of this guy are fighting for dominance as I type this.

...Anyway, don't let my post-story comics fool you, he's kind of a meanie.
