Highlands City

A wealthy woman signs up for a tax-break program that lets her take custody of a young man leaving the system, sure that money and rules will keep the arrangement in her favor. Evan, 19, five years in juvenile detention behind him, doesn't play by anyone's rules but the street's.

Helena thinks she's running the household. Evan spent five years learning how to survive in places where control is an illusion, and he brought that education home with him, which turns "custodial sponsorship" into something closer to a standoff.

The game moves through this arrangement between an older, image-conscious woman and the young man she legally owns for two years, with the player steering Evan through the city and the house as the balance of power tips back and forth. It's built as a sandbox rather than a straight line, so how fast things turn depends on where you push.
