v0.0.2 Beta
Initial Release
This is my first shot at VN's.
The current version contains about 8800 words and are intended as a introduction to the story and characters.
The story is a little bit of a slow burner and does therefore not contain explicit NSFW as the first chapter is more of a build up towards the coming chapters.

A pretty good game With a unusual story. Its not focused in the +18 at all, but its kinda detain the player for keep playing until the end, but theres Like 1 frame per scene. Hope there more updates....
Zakeyeker2025-04-28★★★★★
From a "gameplay" perspective, it's just a long, very simple and very unengaging visual novel. On top of that, all of the artwork is very unignorably ai. It doesn't really have any strong points to speak of.

This was such a good and promising start ! I was surprised at how good the art was, considering the obvious usage of AI. I just hope the creator will eventually come back ... and that they are okay. I…
