Dear friends! The last day of September bids us farewell with its crimson rays of sunlight, which means the time has come for yet another progress update. Every game comes a long way from its conception to release. And even in the latest stages of development, different beta versions may be quite different from each other. Even the very term playable doesnt make the product ready to be shown to a wider audience. What we want to say is that our game is already playable, but we still need some time to polish and get it to shape. Objectively, there are some areas that can be left as-is, and others that cant. Believe us when we say were not nitpicking or trying to fix whats not broken! What still needs work: background ambiences, small heroine sprite adjustments, direction, translation, some residual code issues. We promised to bring you good news this Autumn, and well absolutely do just that! After all, the season has only just begun. For now, you can still support us and see your name in the credits, receive valuable bonuses, and all future DLCs.

Story

Nikolai, the son of two soviet engineers and a normal Japanese student, has no idea his world will soon be turned over. The familiar and dear will clash with the grim ghosts of the past in his soul. Now Nikolai will have to decide whom can he really trust and find out why those with power and money have taken an interest in him, the lives of average people insignificant to them.

Heroines

Himitsu is Nikolai’s childhood friend. She is kind, caring, she always worries for him, sometimes even too annoyingly so. But is simple friendship really enough for her? Perhaps, the years of devotion earned her something more?


Catherine is Nikolai’s ex-girlfriend who left Japan about a year before the beginning of the game’s events. Their parting wasn’t the prettiest, and Nikolai still carries quite uncomfortable memories about it. Perhaps he would have forgotten them with time, but Catherine suddenly returns and, moreover, transfers into his class. Why did she return? Does she still love him? Does he still love her?


Ellie is the granddaughter of the board chairman of the school Nikolai goes to. She is a self-willed, proud girl and thinks highly of herself, but cannot be said to lack ardour. Is everything really as simple as it looks at the first glance, or is there more than meets the eye behind the image of a spoiled young lady?


Kagome is the representative of Nikolai’s class. He has never paid attention to her before, but a certain sequence of events makes them come to know each other. Kagome isn’t loved in the school, and she isn’t really burning with desire to become friends with anyone either. Is there a reason for her behaviour? What hides behind the facade of a simple unsociable girl? What secrets does she hide?
