Snared :
What is Snared?
Snared is postmodern visual novel that parody's many of the tropes apparent in many modern visual novels. While this game is a parody it does aim to tell its own story and to make the player laugh as much as possible. The game is completely developed by one person but the story told will hopefully touch the hearts of many.
The game is littered with dark humor and contains themes that might be unsuitable to some so if you're worried about suicide, abuse, and self-harm then be advised.
The game is an hour long with voiceacting to keep you interested!
What's the story?
Snared is set in the ancient year of... 2018.
The story is centralized around the narrative of the main character, Riya, having to deal with her newly acquired stalker and how she deals with him. Will you bash his brains in? Will you get him lit up like a Christmas tree by the police? Or will you just like... date him.
Bundle in years of trauma a coffee addiction and a manic best friend and you have an adventure that’ll be nothing but chaotic in the best possible way.

Guys I'm no longer developing Snared now I'm developing this game
My buddy Daccit inspired me by making this mock-up of the potential game
Hahahahahahahahahahahha I'm braindead now
Me when my brain dies, idk it hasn't happened yet
When sex update?
I am cooking you're
It is good day to not be dead
Youy're are very very suck
The writing is pretty good, I genuinely thought that some of the jokes were pretty funny, the ambient sound is going and create a good atmosphere, but I had to put my volume up to really hear it and I caused a problem when some of e the other sounds came through a little bit too high, so I think the sounds should be more even.
One thing I didn't understood was the sections were we see the game as a green old computer screen, it does look great but it also seems a little random, I do wanted to understand the reason behind this variation.
Another thing is, the game does create a lot of tension, and balance it with a good humor, so I think that the art style should go to a more dark side, since the jokes are focused on the writing, this can make the tension be even more interesting with the visual bending to a more dark history.
Last little notes, the walking animation is very funny.....but I think it doesn't fit every scene, the telephone were the text appears is interesting.....but is does take a lot of space on the screen, the fast text(the one I think it isn't supposed to be read) is too fast, I did made the text speed a little bit lower but I can even start to absorb the information before it is gone, I think that for now, the game is going well, and the in game choices bring me the feeling that it will make a big difference in the history....but for now the game is really straight forward, I might be a little bit too used to games with open map and it might have made me feel like I don't have much liberty on the game, but I can see it as a design choice in this case.
The game has a lot of potential, exclusively on its writing, but I do think somethings are overwritten, it does make it more detailed but it also make it a little bit overwhelming......but this is just me being silly.....
The game is great and I am willing to play the next updates.
Just saw the announcement, so basically does that mean that this is no longer NSFW, other than Riya's tits?
Regardless of your answer, i'm fine with it, game's good.
Why did you remove the 'meet the characters' section?
I’m trying to see what sticks for traffic
The heat death of the universe when?
Ninkendo
It's so sad that Steve Jobs dies of Ligma
Who is Steve Jobs?
Ligma balls
Congratulations on getting some VC

Nah, this is a mcdonalds
Balls when?

Next update
Dang Lucy really got a double ahoge wth
watchhimbecomeagawd
❓
Just realized, Lucy kinda looks like Paula from earthbound
The redesign actually makes this comparison worse lmao XD
complete accident but Earthbound is the actual GOAT
Yeah, i played and beat the game and i absolutely agree.
Just played to update now that you fixed the android version and i really liked the game and the humour, the animations are dumb but i think that makes it better, i can't wait to see the rest of the game and the different endings that it will have, hope you succeed and have a great day.
Also please change the background i keep getting flashbanged every single time i open this page.
Also, completely unrelated egg
I changed the store page to spare everyone's eyes
This back ground is blindingly white
It’s to catch vampires
Can anyone who gets the android port tell me if it works?
It's my first time setting it up
Doesn't work, it needs to be an APK file so i can install the game, not a ZIP file.
Unless you put the APK inside the zip but it's better to just upload the apk.
Basically means that i can't even install the game
Decided to check the game out after Daccit mentioned it & felt the least I could do was do a couple doodles of fan art. Good start & I'm hoping the dev time goes smoothly.
Sorry I gave Kira the SOnichu image. He sorta reminded me of a fusion of Simon from Adventure time & Liquid Chris.
Nah man I love the Sonichu it's chaotic, dumb and beautiful everything I want this game to be XD
I'm glad you liked the game enough to make fanart it's the first I've ever received xd
Ngl I cooked so hard on this update that I woke up and began working at 7 AM and now I'm making my first meal xd
Okay so I lied again update at 6 because I'm running into issues
I kind of lied about this update not containing a lot of content because I downed a couple Red Bull last night and wrote an entire additional route so now I'm making visuals. The Update is being pushed to like 5 PM today
Kira needs a shirt like this
Uh where can you buy this? My uh friend wants it
just google the shirt and you will find a lot of sites that sell this
i would like to see the shower scene drawn/animated.
i liked the animations and the the art styl.
10/10 would recomend
Might add that, the game is extremely unfinished and even as of now older scenes are being updated so I might add that in the update after this one.
Hi there, haven't played the game yet, i wanted to play it when it gets updated but realized it doesn't have an android version.
Is it possible for it to have an android version?
I didn't know if I'd get any android players, but I can make a version of the game for Android, I don't know if Android has any special specifications that you need to add to allow compatibility, but I'll try to add it in the next update.
this game's good af (i dont know if I reached the end. the dude got me then it went to the menu after the dailog)
That's weird there should be another scene after you get knocked out where you're back at your house.
I'll check the script for bugs
Well I got knocked out, we talked, he flirted, and then boom title screen
Yeah I'm thinking maybe either I uploaded the wrong file to Itch or there was an old bug.
Beyond that what did you like about the game?
Art style, I thought the animation's were funny it reminded me of that Stickman game, and it had nice story telling
Let's gooooo, I'm glad you liked the writing :D
So actually, in the updates that's coming I heavily modified that part of game, so chances are it's not a problem that exists anymore already, so if it just doesn't work I'm sorry I guess it'll be fixed in the enxt update
Ohhh
