Shards of the Past

A survivor of a rough foster childhood finally gets his own apartment, and the first person he invites in is Chloe, the one friend who came out of that home as alone as he did. That kind of shared history doesn't stay quiet for long, especially once Louise, Angela, and Lily start drifting back into the picture.

The setup is less "new beginning" than "old wounds with a lease." Living together under one roof forces the protagonist and Chloe to figure out whether their bond was ever more than survival, while past baggage and the people orbiting their new social circle keep testing the walls they just built.

Play moves between the two leads as you steer conversations, jealousies, and the slow-burn tangle of friendship turning into something else, with school and everyday social friction supplying most of the pressure. It's a visual novel first: read, choose, watch the group's dynamic shift, repeat.
