Fort Valen
A Final Year Visual Novel Project
For the minor project of our third and final university year, we banded together to create Fort Valen, a visual novel following a group of 5 teens all living in a mountainous fort together.
Our Story
This story is being written by Daisy Lock and Talia Bowett, we're a duo that met at Staffordshire University and have been working together as a team ever since. This is the second opportunity we've had to work together and we're excited to present this collaboration to the world.
We are both insanely passionate about what we do and we're proud to present Fort Valen to the world.
