About the Game

Connection is a Beautiful Thing

One day you find yourself stepping into a brand new world with a starkly different sky and a language you've never encountered. While lost and confused, salvation comes from a cute young girl who offers a helping hand and a small smattering of familiar words. As feelings blossom, the struggle to communicate remains real. Yet learning to express yourself could hardly bring sweeter rewards.
