About
A confession goes wrong on arrival in Heart City, and before the rejection even settles, a bubbly face from your past drags you into a string of city outings that mix love lessons with genuinely bad decisions.
The plot runs on that setup: you're nursing a bruised ego and half-planning a second shot at the girl who turned you down, except this new distraction keeps complicating what "the course" even means. Whether your heart stays fixed on the original goal or drifts toward whoever's next to you is the actual question the story keeps circling.
You play the guy caught in the middle, working through outings and conversations that push toward either reconciliation or something unplanned. It's a male-protagonist visual novel built around choices of the heart rather than mechanics, told through 2D scenes rather than animation.
