About the Story

Developed for Smoochie Jam!
Victoria, Nick, Sam, James, Annie and Ollie are group of friends having a party at an old mansion where Nick is working part time as a caretaker. They decide to play a quirky game of spin the bottle, which will test their bonds, or perhaps take them to new levels...?
Disclaimer: This is a spin-off of You're Next, taking place in the middle of the party. You do not need to have played You're Next before in order to enjoy this game, but it certainly doesn't hurt.

STATUS: Almost complete, save for a few truncated scenes, some camera angles and script polishing. v.1.0 coming very soon!

Spin the bottle with a twist-ish, March 8, 2024
by manonamora

The Spin-Off is a short visual novel about six friends partying in a cabin in the middle of nowhere, looking for a game to play to pass the time. Thing is: all of them have some sort of history or tension with each other. So what better way to break the ice (or confess your feelings) than playing some sort of Spin-the-bottle with Inprov…

This game is also some sort of a prequel of You’re Next a slasher/horror adventure, which it references at the start as a creepypasta story (and also at the end). This seem to have influenced the aesthetic of the VN, with the darker colour palette, the funky not-very-straight typing font, and the obvious horror trope setting. Still, this is not a gloomy and scary story, but more of a comical one, with everything you’d expect from a party with close friends: drinks, awkward conversations about who still has crushes on whom, and weird games where the goal is to kiss everyone in the room!

It was fun… and I did manage to kiss everyone first
