About
A 22-year-old with no memory of his parents and a childhood spent bouncing between foster families gets pulled out of that mess by a stranger who offers him a better life. The catch is the whole point of the game.
The story follows him as he tries to figure out what that offer actually costs him, weighing a fresh start against whatever the man behind it really wants.
It plays as a linear visual novel, with choices steering how the MC's relationships with the women around him develop rather than branching the plot itself. Early on there are a couple of voyeurism scenes tied to two of the important female characters, one a straight scene and one a threesome that reads as lesbian for her specifically; both can be skipped but not skipped past entirely. The game notes that voyeurism is meant to stay a minor, always-skippable thread going forward rather than a recurring focus.
Changelog
