St. Maria Village

Isaac, a catboy sophomore, comes back for the summer to the place he grew up: grass and flowers, rivers running down from the mountains, crickets going all evening in a village called Saint Mary's. It's a homecoming story, soft-edged and nostalgic rather than event-driven.

There's no big conflict laid out yet, just Isaac settling back into a place he used to know, which leaves plenty of room for whoever he finds still living there.

You move him around the village at your own pace, the way a sandbox expects, meeting people and easing into romance rather than chasing a fixed plot. This is the first release, so the village is still mostly waiting to be filled in.
