A virtual reality visual novel is a relatively new concept, but that does not mean that people have not attempted to create one before. It may be a small group of indie developers that have attempted a VR visual novel or included virtual reality in their storytelling experience, but they still make a relevant comparison to the creation of a new and innovative virtual reality visual novel. The first two competitors for Digitale, the company creating the VR visual novel, are Wonder Games and their game “Guard of Wonderland VR” as well as 7 Keys Studios and their game “Angels & Demigods - SciFi VR Visual Novel.” These two games are specifically labeled as virtual reality visual novels. The third competitor is Bit Golem and their interactive virtual reality story “Dagon: by H. P. Lovecraft.”
The advertising goal for Digitale is ultimately to reach as many virtual reality users as possible or people who are interested in virtual reality. The market will primarily be people with a VR headset so advertising will heavily take place in a virtual reality space. Since Digitale is a virtual reality production company for short story-based games, advertising will focus on people interested in gaming.
