6 itemsAbout the Game
The company suddenly went bankrupt, and the male protagonist, who just got kicked out of his dormitory and ended up on the streets, was picked up by the female protagonist, who had run away from home and started to work at a well-known international restaurant chain where the male protagonist intended to stay the night.
Thus began their joint-rent life.
They began to live under the same roof, awkwardly supporting each other to get through tough times…
This is a story about the male and female protagonists, both metropolitan life escapees, run into each other in Northeast China and fall in love.
This is a pure love visual novel without any NTR content.
The official version features the female protagonist's voice in Mandarin throughout.
The game has a playtime of approximately 150 minutes.
The story transcript has more than 40,000 words.
The story is based on the true experiences of the original artist!
The game is scheduled to be released in the fourth quarter of 2024. Since the exact release date has not yet been published, you are welcomed to add the game to your wishlist to receive notifications about its release.
The final price of the game will be around $7.
This work will be developed by the doujin circle Goblin Software.
It belongs to Goblin Software's short series. We also like to invite you to play the first work of the series, known as 'Reiwa Rare Story'.
Due to the performance and optimization issues of Chinese engines, this work will be developed using the Argentine open-source engine Godot. After its release, we will also consider open-sourcing the framework of our game on free web.
The game will undergo some optimization for compatibility tests with the Tongxin UOS system. Players using Chinese systems can rest assured and enjoy the game on Chinese-Made OS.
