About
Two lads from Newcastle finish school and head off toward university, except one of them has been sitting on a secret that's about to blow their friendship apart. It's a visual novel first and a game second: light on choices, heavy on watching things unravel.
You pick which friend's eyes you see it through, and that's really the whole mechanic. The story pushes forward on its own once the secret starts working its way loose, dragging in the kind of messy, cheating, group entanglements that come with betrayal between people who used to trust each other completely. The free chapters cover the setup; where it goes from there depends on how far the story's been continued past that point.

v0.21
- Not a huge update. If you have already downloaded and played through 0.2 or don't intend to play the "Jon" route, may not be worth updating. Just a fix for a jerky animation. Also reworked the dialogue a little to remove some of the use of acronyms.
- Also added a MAC O/S version, please note that this has not been tested as I do not have to the means to do so, so it's buyer beware with that one.
