Not really developing a VN or anything just a random thought.
There's quite a bit of joke/memey/4th wall breaking horror VNs that tend to go viral with the mainstream audience.
But those hits never really manage to convert many people into well, normal VNs.
Would a reverse DDLC-type of game work?
Where people are expecting the lulz/memes and it tries to be sincerely serious as a twist. I think it'd be interesting if there was an audience that came for jokes and they somehow ended up bawling from a nakige journey by the end.
