About the Game

“Are you lost?”

“I don’t think so? I mean, the way back to town is pretty straightforward.”

...

Welcome to Hope, where most of the residents ironically don't have high hopes for their future.

The player plays as John Doe, just another life in the little town of Hope whose luck has hit rock bottom. However, when John meets a hermit living outside of town, he gradually learns to put his life together.

Explore the town. Talk to the residents. Everyone has a story to tell.

Work. Or not.

Save money. Go broke paying rent.

Find love. Or be alone.

Buy a house and nice furniture. Or dream about it.

Help John reach his full potential. Or give up on John forever.

Happiness can be found right around the corner. If John only knows where to look (or have someone point it out to him). This is a game about hope and, ultimately, what it really means to live and be happy.
