About the Game

`CharaDiary` is an idle character-raising diary game with built-in creation tools. You can create growth stories for original characters, or for fan-made subjects you have the rights to create, and let those characters gradually grow through everyday clicks, keystrokes, and companionship. Along the way, they will trigger events, leave diary entries, and reach different endings.

Players can start by loading the built-in content pack, or create their own game content packs by setting growth stages, prologues, main story events, daily events, choice branches, side stories, and ending conditions. Every triggered event, every choice made, and every unlocked piece of content becomes part of the character’s growth record.

Players can also use the theme pack editor to adjust the interface, giving each character a diary screen that suits them.

The player app supports a lightweight idle window, making it suitable for keeping a character on your desktop as a companion while you use your computer throughout the day.
