A New Life

He signs up for an exchange stay expecting a quiet change of scenery and ends up sharing a house with several women who each have their own routines, boundaries, and things they'd rather he not find out.

The setup is simple: a stranger moves into a house that isn't his, and the rest of the story is about what he learns living there. Days pass one at a time, and what he discovers depends on who he pays attention to and how.

Play consists of walking the house and a handful of city locations, running small errands for the women living there, and chatting your way toward more open conversations and private moments. Each day only allows so many actions before he has to sleep, so progress is paced rather than immediate. This Beta covers the opening stretch of that loop, the house introduction, the first quests, and early scenes for five of the women, under a game once known as Crimson Room.
