Deadset Darling

Westbrook is a city of strangers and second chances, and this prologue drops you into someone's unfinished business without much preamble. It plays it straight rather than winking at the camera, treating the setup as the start of an actual story rather than an excuse to get to the next scene.

The plot proper is barely sketched yet, this is a prologue, but the frame is clear: a new arrival, a city full of people with their own histories, and whatever "unfinished business" turns out to mean once the story catches up to it.

You move through Westbrook point-and-click style, working through small puzzles and a bit of sandbox management as you meet the women who populate it, mostly older, mostly no-nonsense, and nudge relationships forward at your own pace. It's early days, so the loop is simple, but the bones of a management sim wrapped around a romance are already in place.
