AURORA

Nineteen, broke, and back home in Aurora Falls with no real plan beyond a vague notion of university someday, you're about to find out that a boring small town can get complicated fast. The tone is more slow-burn slice-of-life than melodrama, even as things start going sideways.

Your girlfriend has her own life, your best friend is off in Europe, and the town you grew up in has apparently been sitting on secrets the whole time. New people, new opportunities, and a few questionable decisions start turning what should have been a dull summer into something else, one familiar door at a time.

You spend your time wandering Aurora Falls, checking your phone and computer, and talking your way into other people's business, letting relationships build (or fall apart) based on what you say and do. Some choices are throwaway, others aren't, and the game doesn't always tell you which is which.
