Deep Narrative and Life Puzzles
Developer: Developed by MrKnobb Games, the current version of Season 1 focuses on strong narrative visual novels.
Background of the story:
Protagonist's dilemma: At the age of 22, the protagonist suffers from childhood memory loss and wanders through foster homes, ultimately escaping the dark childhood.
Turning point: The mysterious man offers a "new life" opportunity, but hides a trap - players need to explore the truth, uncover their parents' identities and past secrets.
Core theme:
Identity: Searching for self and family mysteries, facing childhood trauma and growth.
Moral dilemma: The cost and choices of accepting a 'new life' lead the plot towards irreversibility.
Character driven storyline and relationships cannot be changed
Female character setting:
Key characters: Adrianna, Anne, Asami, Daniella, Marie, Summer, Andrea/Tania (choose one), etc., all deeply tied to the main storyline.
The relationship that cannot be skipped: Some female characters (such as Adrianna, Andrea/Tania) are the core of the story and cannot be withdrawn or ignored, otherwise the plot will collapse.
Branch restrictions:
Plot priority principle: The character relationships are closely related to the main storyline, not a "girlfriend collection" style dating game. Choosing to influence the ending cannot completely change the direction of the story.
There are many characters but the main storyline is focused on: secondary characters can interact but there are no deep side lines, and the main storyline always revolves around the protagonist's redemption and truth.
