Tracking clues and red herrings
The mystery clue table lays out clues, misdirection and payoffs in one place.
For indie game, visual novel & TTRPG makers
Scenario, character art and trailer in one project
Branching plots and planted clues are hard to track, and collecting character art and expressions takes even longer. BunCho keeps plot templates, character sheets and a relationship map together, and makes design sheets, expression sheets and a store-page trailer from the same project.
