In this new installment of [b]The Dev Diaries[/b], we wanted to go a bit more in depth about the [b]gameplay[/b] and [b]mechanics[/b] of [b]The Vigilante Diaries[/b]. The game is a [b]narrative RPG adventure[/b] where every decision the player makes will have consequences. As we already stated in the first diary, it draws inspiration from great referents of the genre such as [i]The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante[/i] or [i]Suzerain[/i].

You’ll be able to choose your vigilante’s [b]nickname[/b], customize his [b]appearance[/b] and pick his [b]tools[/b]: will you fight crime from the shadows or will you face it head-on with your own fists?

You’ll go through these memories by reading his journal, where you’ll see them unfold through [b]hand-drawn illustrations[/b] that will immerse you in the story. Interacting with the journal and turning the pages, you will discover the story of crime, vengeance and justice that surrounds the vigilante. And as you make decisions, they will all have [b]consequences[/b], affecting your [b]relationship[/b] with other characters, the way you face danger, your [b]abilities and stats[/b], and even your standing in the [b]political spectrum[/b] of the game. This means that, for example, if you want to beat an enemy, you’ll have to have the strength required if you want to succeed. Or if you want to successfully infiltrate a private party of the mafia, you’ll have to have enough stealth points.

And while you’re here, the police radio can go off at any moment announcing that there’s been some sort of incident, so you will have to be ready to respond to its call. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44972642/5ac1282de918af051623343a4dfdfd2f2624feb8.png[/img] Thanks to all these different mechanics and choices, the story can [b]branch[/b] out in many different ways. And since each of you is going to make different decisions that will alter the course of the whole story, [b]every single playthrough will be different[/b]. The lives of the vigilante’s loved ones, revenges that may be completed or not, enemies that might be redeemed or not… There are many things that can change depending on your decisions. And it will be all in your hands, vigilante. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2841600/The_Vigilante_Diaries
