The Diary
The Diary is an interactive, non-linear story, written and developed by Schokrii.
In this game, the player takes on the role of Chris, an ordinary high school senior with an equally ordinary life — at least, if we ignores the family's recent move.
Due to work-related reasons, the family had to relocate just before the school year began — right in the final year, when everything was supposed to feel settled. A new place, a new school, new people… and the unsettling feeling of having to start over once again.
However, everything changes when Chris comes into possession of an unusual book — one that soon reveals itself to be the diary of a former female classmate.
Driven by insatiable curiosity, Chris dives into the pages of the book, unaware that the words within will change him both mentally and physically.
What begins as a mere discovery soon unfolds into an effect that seems irreversible...
In The Diary, the player's choices shape the course of the story.
As you face the challenges of your senior year, not only academic experiences await you — meaningful moments also unfold outside the classroom.
Encounters with friends, budding romances, and unexpected events draw you deeper into a world that shifts with every choice you make.
But how will you handle these changes?

I wanna see more ^^
I love the mood and setting of this story! It seems like it'll definitely take a while before there's enough content for me to feel satisfied going through it (as of now the main appeal is more just the school setting than anything about the transformation), but keep it up and I hope I'll remember this still exists in a year or so.
I felt like the character/menu buttons on the top corners weren't clearly telegraphed enough that that's what they are. It'd be nice if it told you explicitly to check them out at some point.
Hey, just wanted to double-check.
You mean the buttons that open the sidebar with the avatar and the stats, right?
I'll note that down in my to-do list.
Thanks for your feedback ;)
Yes, that is the buttons I meant.
I need more...
This is peak, and I can't wait to see where it goes!
still cis tho /j
This is very good!! the story is very entertaining, but I wish it were in Spanish for a better experience :D
I'm not gonna spoil, but I like where 0.4.0 is going from the preview already!
this is really cool hope it gets finished!!!
Nach Sportfest, Stände der Clubs und Miso-Suppe im Automat hätte ich erwartet, dass es auch einen Manga-Club gibt :D So schön mit Ranma 1/2, Uesugi wants to quit being a girl, Until I become me, From Bureaucrat to Villainess, Scarlet Star, Tensei Pandemic etc
awesome project! For the first time since being a kid I'm actually able to insert myself into the story without a serious amount of suspension. the deep introspection helps a ton and the sophisticated vocabulary really suits the setting. Looking forward to more and would even volunteer to help if I could.
So far the story is great and incredibly well written even if it's just starting out, excited to see how it develops!
Been looking for something to read, and so far, I like what ive found. I cant wait to see more!
Ein Spiel in richtigem Deutsch? Und dann auch noch so schön geschrieben? Das sieht man selten. Was mir besonders gefällt, ist das für alle, die das Spiel auf Deutsch spielen, der erste Tagebucheintrag mehr Gewicht hat. Hier kann man eindeutig von "lost in translation" sprechen, da sich "dieselbe" nicht 1:1 übersetzen lässt, ist im Japanischen ähnlich, "ore" und "watashi" sind beides mal "ich".
Falls das Projekt hier nicht direkt stirbt, sollte es auch bei tfgames hinterlegt werden für mehr Reichweite.
Well, this game just grabbed my attention.
Premise is fascinating. The story as it is does a pretty good job of invoking the emotions it intends, the sort-of melancholic feeling of moving to a new school at the end of the year, the grandeur of the new school, the intrigue of the eponymous Diary.
Would have wished that there was a dark mode option, but otherwise the options given aren't lacking.
So basically, I enjoyed my experience with what is here and I am eager to see how things develop.
Looks interesting will have to see what it's like as it updates, not much here to see how it'll be
