About

Four years after his father's death, a young man is still stuck under the same roof as the stepmother who inherited everything and the stepsister who came with her. The constant pressure and put-downs have been piling up for years, and something that happened at college recently pushed him past the point of just taking it.

The story sets up a household where the protagonist has no money and no leverage, only patience that's running out. From there the game turns into a sandbox of women to pursue and quests to work through one at a time, with new targets and storylines added as the game grows. Some encounters come and go through a rotating dating-app pool before settling into the main cast permanently.

Footage here is live-action rather than rendered, so expect real video clips instead of 3D models. It's a first project from its developer, built quest by quest rather than delivered whole, and it plays that way: small, direct additions rather than one big finished arc.
