Nerve Fade

An accident at eighteen leaves the protagonist unable to manage basic daily tasks on his own, and it's his landlady Mary who stays when everyone else gives up. That setup alone would be simple enough, except Mary has been talking to his doctors and knows something about the nerve damage that he doesn't.

The plot turns on that withheld information. Mary controls what he knows about his own body, and his recovery ends up shaped less by medicine than by her decisions about what to tell him and when.

The game follows this as a linear visual novel told from his point of view, moving through the early days of recovery under Mary's care as the story reveals what she's chosen to keep quiet. It's a first episode, so the setup is where things currently stand.
