In this single-player, pixel-art RPG, you travel from place to place, talk to people, and make decisions about money and relationships as a struggling writer tries to win back a former partner.

For you if...
- +you like stories that branch through everyday decisions
- +you prefer relationship drama over combat-heavy RPGs
Not for you if...
- −you want an RPG built around combat and adventuring
- −you find long conversations about relationships tedious
