About the Game

Harmless Lies is a short but captivating 3D Visual Novel about learning from your mistakes and becoming the best version of yourself.

You play as Yui Shiraishi, a 16-year-old girl who transferred to a new high school in hopes of escaping the cycle of bullying she was stuck in.
The headmaster assured you that this would not repeat here... but so many things can go wrong, even on the first day!
You can feel everyone's eyes on you, judging your every move.
And just when things are finally starting to look up... you meet her.

Can you clear your name and expose the truth before it's too late?
