Waking up in a field off a 2-lane highway isn't the best start to anyone's night. Especially when you don't have a single clue how you got there to begin with.

Unfortunately, it's what Alec has to deal with tonight. It's cold, the wind's bitter, and he simply can't remember what happened earlier in the night. It must have been something big.

At least he finds a bus stop for shelter, but given it's a bus stop, he's not the only one there waiting.

Alec has two choices before him. Ignore the stranger's attempts to converse (he ​could​ be a serial killer, after all) and wait for the bus, or engage him (what else is there to do stranded at a bus stop) and see what happens.

The choice is yours.

Characters

Alec — a reserved young man of few words. He enjoys long drives at night on his motorcycle and isn't a fan of small talk.


The Stranger — another traveler who happens to be as stranded as Alec. Somehow, he's familiar, but Alec can't remember why.

Release!

Hey! I finished! Wow!

I don't know what to say other than that. It's something completely self-indulgent and short just to prove I could make a visual novel if I really wanted to. Hopefully I can keep making visual novels when I get ideas for them, but it's a LOT of work! Since this is my first visual novel, it might be a little rough and basic, but hopefully that's all right!

Please enjoy and thank you for playing!

Yeah, same here, I thought that name was familiar for a second.

Well I’m glad you’re back into the gaming scene again, Ronove. You can’t upload two amazing games on here, get a Misao named after you, and then disappear for a long time and not do anything since. I know that might work for the rest of us on here...but you’re supposed to be much better than this, god damn it!

Anyways...It's nice to see you around here again. And I'm definitely going to check this one out whenever it get released.

They took the misao name away just when I started coming back! I'm appalled I didn't even know about it until it was pretty much gone!

And it's not like I haven't been trying to make games... it's just stuff usually happens and the project loses focus and I move on. And I was trying to get published (and failing), so I'm back to where I started! Games!

I do have something else in the wings while I work on this. I just really wanted to do a visual novel first to prove I could and I'm definitely far enough in development to know I'll release it. Hopefully early 2021 (I wanted to put that for a target date but it only lets me put actual dates. Too absolute!).

This is why you gotta hang around more often or you’ll lose whatever street cred that you once had.

And I believe that you still have one Misao category named after you: “The Star Stealing Prince Award,” given to the game with the best original assets. So your legacy isn't entirely gone.

- Oooo...mystery project!

And, yeah, it sucks that you can’t put in something like Early 2021, or Q1 2021, when it comes to the Target Completion Date. A lot of people have been suggesting implementing that feature for years now and nothing has been done about that to this date… *sigh* Oh well.
Hi,

LordBlueRouge asked me to write this here, so here we go...
I finished it with all content unlocked (gallery). It was a nice little game. I loved your first one (Star Stealing Prince), so I was kind of like a kid when I found out you were developping a second one (though I've mixed feelings about visual novels). So as I thought, I loved the arts (always pretty much original art with a very convenient choice of colours), the story is well brought and decently written though not innovative (the themes and endings can be easily expected). The music is well chosen (I think I heard some of them: yes, I definitely did). And that's pretty much all I can say without spoilers.

I only have that much to say (and that the wanted emotion works fine), so guess it would be a little poor for a review. it's very short (1 hour), so anyone can give it a try!

Thanks for this quality game.

I never actually commented here but... Ah my goodness. This game's storytelling and setting was so intimate and dangerous and... classy. The art in this is wonderful. The storytelling is pristine. The pacing? Gorgeous. You wake up near a bus stop off the side of the road and you're wondering what happened. It just gets more and more involved as it goes, in a masterclass of storytelling and characterisation. Loved this. Enjoyed this so much, Ronove, and can't wait for whatever else is in store, no matter what. Sheesh, this game is so good!
