A downloadable game

It's the 1980s - and you're a wayward loner in need of a fresh new start.

After driving off on your own and parking on the side of the road for the night, you have a chance encounter with a professional bank robber - and suddenly you find yourself stuck with him after his getaway. He and his neighbor don't seem to get along, and you start to wonder which one of them you can really trust.

Only time will tell how things might play out from here.


.....

Otome, romance, suspense, 80s themes, etc. Contains graphic content; player discretion is advised.

I had a blast making this, although it took a long time to do all the drawing. 

I don't own any of the GIFs or the music edits. Credit to all the music creators! And you can find all of them individually in this playlist; Music I Use in my Games

Also, since I used exclusively remixes, covers, copyright-free synthwave music, and one instrumental, this game *should* be safe for live-streamers to play on their channels, although I can't promise anything there (in my experience, streaming this game on YouTube will not get the videos or the lives removed, but they may not be monetizable thereafter). 

I may make a monetizable-streamer-friendly version of this game in the future, although I picked my soundtracks very carefully, and I feel I can't fully sell the mood of certain scenes if I remove the songs that I chose for them, especially since one of the most iconic things about the 1980s is - of course - 80s music.

I don't have payments or donations set up for obvious reasons, and I wanted to make this game free, anyway. 

However, I could REALLY use some support in my Patreon if you wanna keep me truckin' along! My Patreon is dirt cheap, and you can find it right here; Konspiracy's Patreon

Be sure to let me know what you think of the game. I'm pretty new to making visual novel games, but I'm enjoying it so far, and I'm looking forward to learning more.
