About the Game

Kody, a modern gym rat gets zapped by strange lightning and time-travels to 1898.

A BARA, choices matter, alternate history, Visual Novel Musical set in the East Coast of USA.

Built on a visual novel engine with RPG elements.
Choices matter! Not only must Kody decide if he should speak of the future, but also must decide which details he will share.

The potential of 4 love interests or enemies await. LGBTQ+ with romance options.

Each game installment covers a full day in Kody's adventure. This is Day 1 of 8

~15 hours of gameplay

Voiced characters with separate volume control

A complex flow-chart leads to many multiple endings by the end of Day 8, possibly even a thruple.

Will Kody be smart enough to navigate the past? Will he end up in a Sanatorium? Or, will he be a Himbo?  Player choices matter...
