And he's the only animal person around! In this romantic comedy visual novel, you'll help Joey find friendship, find himself, and maybe even find love! Guide this lovable anthropomorphic possum through all sorts of fun college adventures:

  • Study for class!

  • Play tabletop role-playing games!

  • Act in a student film!

  • Do some nude modeling!

  • Cry at a party!

  • Potentially date one of six different cuties!

  • Unlock a mysterious secret ending...?

  • AND MUCH, MUCH MORE!
