About The Hitcher
The Hitcher is a Ren'Py visual novel by ERA51, presented with 3D CG art. It is set in the year 8008 a.P., when the world is shifting quickly through strange disasters and the Priests still teach that the Prophecy will end the world in 8008 years. You play Mikael, a man with lost memory who was rescued by an old man and told he has been given a new life. The story asks how he will use that second chance, for good or ill, while mixing fantasy, monster girl, and multiple endings.

The demo includes 118 renders, four outtake renders, four preview renders for Chapter one, and different soundtracks.
Developer's description
We are in the year 8008 a.P. The world is changing and it is changing fast. What caused this? We are not quite sure to be honest. There have been a few weird things that have happened. Shifts in the landscape, storms so hard that buildings couldn’t withstand them. The Priests tell us that the world we live in will change for the worse. The doctrine hasn’t changed one bit though. The Prophecy is still intact and the world as we know it will end in 8008 years. So we almost had 1000 years of living in harmony… You take on the role of Mikael, a man who lost his memory and was saved by an old man. During your time with the old man, you learn that you've been given a new life. What will you do with that new life you've been given? Will you use it for good or bad?
