Neon Saturday

A micro-visual-novel storytelling format consisting of extremely short (5–10 second) narrative clips that deliver a single emotional or philosophical beat using retro visual novel aesthetics.

Designed for fast consumption, Neon Saturday scenes prioritize compression, clarity, and immediate impact over exposition or buildup.

Common traits:
• 5–10 second runtime
• Minimal dialogue (1–2 lines)
• Static or near-static framing
• Retro VN-style presentation
• Standalone emotional payoff
“That clip felt like a Neon Saturday — short, nostalgic, and straight to the point.”
