As they say; great dissatisfaction can lead to a spark of creativity. Itch has lots of very talented people, sometimes people are willing to assist with projects.
Would you be interested in writing the plot for a visual novel of your own?
If you'd like to give it a try, some points to consider:
* What theme would you like to set your game world in?
*What is it that the player needs to do in the game world? (In what way does the player discover the world? Searching locations? Observing characters to make correct dialogue choices - in asking questions or giving gifts?)
*How does the player affect the game world? (Do you save NPC lives by getting them to go to safe locations? Do you manage to set upmatchmaking between NPCs?)
*If an event happens or fails to happen, what are the consequences for each outcome?
*Focus on a plot of no more than 5 different things to get started on your first try.
I'd be most happy to help you brainstorm and make a flowchart or two.
There are plenty of assets on itch to make a quick playable rough draft on Ren'Py. Evn if it's just for your own amusement.
Anyway, just a thought.
