Hi everyone, first I want to mention that PD Angel is very much still in the works, and I’m getting back my passion for it!

But this is a story idea I’ve been working on for a little while now that means a lot to me. 

I had this idea of an aesthetic I wanted but couldn’t find any layouts that quite fit, so for the first time I attempted making my own layouts. I was only able to get anywhere thanks to Edelweiss open source codes. I still don’t understand code very well and mostly just used bits and pieces of code by Dee and just tried to make it look/work okay.

I still have a few things I need to do before opening up for apps, but I’ve already put a ton of effort into this story and I think I have some anxiety that due to the community being slower these days, what if I’ve put my energy into something that won't gain any traction?

This is no way me trying to guilt trip anyone, I just want to gauge interest while I’m finishing up on some things. There is more clear info to come but, if you look at the tags that should give you a pretty clear idea of the genre.

Inspiration (some story wise some aesthetics-wise) Doki Doki literature club, New jeans (specifically ditto) Billlie’s lore, creepy ARG vibes, epistolary horror video games.

Reel girls debuted in 2020, from a brand new company founded by a couple that were already respected and known in the industry.

Using social media in new ways helped develop a close parasocial relationship with their fans. It didn’t take long for them to gain popularity.

They had a refreshing sound and concept that came across as relatable and down to earth. It appeared as if the members had a decent amount of creative control despite being so young, and seemed to have a close relationship with the CEO’s and staff.

Releasing hit after hit, and breaking new records left and right, it felt like their popularity just kept on growing.

And then one day they were gone, not long after their comeback with the song ditto. all their social media and anything connected to them went dark.

At first, fans thought this was some kind of marketing stunt or even ARG, due to the creepy concept that was present in the music video. But months went by and there was still no news.

Theories began popping up, that the girls were actors. It was a social experiment; they were actually missing. Forums became dedicated to the mystery of the reel girls and why they went missing overnight.
