Developer's description
The Courier is a story driven adult visual novel. It features multiple different romanceable characters. You are free to pursue any, all or none of them. But keep in mind, that if you’re not on particular character’s route, you will be missing out on some of the story content that is relevant to them. The story takes place in an alternative version of the earth, where humans are the small minority vastly outnumbered by other races. Humanity lives in small isolated towns under the rule of the all powerful Syndicate. Majority of population is ignorant to the outside world and lives under the impression that they are under a constant danger of being attacked. The information is being controlled, the opposition neutralized with brutal efficiency. Spoiler Only a small number of the population are given the permission to walk beyond the town walls. Those people are either members of the Syndicate or employed as couriers. Couriers take on the difficult task of transporting important objects and information between the human settlements- a thankless and dangerous job, often chosen as the last ditch effort to preserve one’s freedom or life. Some people are drawn to the adventure associated with the job though. One of them is the main character of the story. A man that is sure going to change the course of the history. Of course he needs to stay alive long enough to achieve it. The visual novel is based on story and character development. This means, that the sexual content will be serving the story and not the other way around.
