Developer's description
Life was simple. Maybe even perfect. A disciplined Navy SEAL father. A strong mother holding the family together. And you, on the edge of adulthood, lost in your final year of school, convinced you still had time. Then everything changes. A sudden move across the country forces you to leave your entire life behind. Friends. Comfort. Familiarity. In their place waits a new town, new rules, and a growing tension you can’t ignore. As your family settles into this unfamiliar world, cracks begin to form. Relationships shift. Boundaries blur. Temptation grows stronger, and every choice starts to matter. This is a story about pressure, desire, and consequences. About losing control. And about discovering what it takes when nothing feels safe anymore.
