About
Millie shakes you awake on the beach, and a wedding is about to start whether you're ready or not. That tequila shot is looking like a mistake now. You're Jack, twenty-one, short on confidence and even shorter on direction, and the story more or less runs on that.
The setup is simple: a hungover morning before a wedding kicks off a longer stretch of Jack trying to sort out his life, his family, and the women around him, with the plot built around the fallout from that beach wake-up call rather than any grand mystery.
You play as Jack and steer his choices through the people close to him, twin sisters, an older woman, a slow-building romance, watching how far his confidence problem lets him go. It's a visual novel first, so most of the work is reading and picking a direction rather than managing systems.
