VITTORIO (RIO) AUSTIN - The protagonist of the story, who gathered five people, completely strangers to each other, to explore the beauty of America. This young man is energetic, cheerful and easy-going. He is ready to study the world around him with curiosity and childish enthusiasm, but his main goal has nothing to do with his desire to see the world. The guy is sincerely trying to deal with his own demons and on his way he’s trying to open the doors to other people's hearts.
"You should never hurt the feelings of other people around you, but first of all, you need to think about yourself."
VIVIEN DE LARON - Vivien's appearance best fits the definition of a "fairytale prince", but his character is far from being soft or gentle. A mind of his own, this guy is cold and cocky. He tries to keep aloof, always "releases spikes" if someone tries to invade his personal space. Despite this, for some reason the young man decided to participate in a group trip. From time to time you can notice an inexplicable sadness in his eyes, the reasons for which you sincerely want to understand.
FELIX KLOTZ - Life of the party. The main troublemaker. Full of enthusiasm, spontaneous ideas and great mood, this young man can instantly become "soul man". All roads are open for Felix, literally and figuratively. His unbridled passion for speed and cars is his strongest point. However, despite a wide smile and cheerful laughter, the young man keeps his own secrets and is not going to show his weaknesses.
ETHAN FRANK - The oldest member of the group, and the most silent one. He is calm and focused; it is extremely difficult to piss him off. In some way he is like a ghost that quietly appears and quietly disappears. It is immediately clear: he does not intend to make new acquaintances, as well as to rush headlong into a maelstrom of exciting feelings. Wise with life experience, he just goes with the flow. Ethan never parts with his camera, but he does not show his photographs to anyone. His trust is hard to earn, so getting to his soul is a real challenge.
GABRIELLA LAMAR - This modest, silent, fearful girl can be compared to a bunny that is constantly in tension. Gaby seems to be constantly waiting for a blow in the back, but sincerely tries to control herself. She is afraid to take the initiative, even if she wants to. Unfortunately, this "faint light" fades out too quickly, and Gaby humbly lowers her head again, keeping invisible scars on her heart.
BLANCA CABRERA - How about going on a long, unpredictable trip or planning a grand heist like in an action movie? Blanca is ready for any adventure; her energy is like a hurricane. Strong, confident, daring, brave. It is better not to provoke this girl, because she knows exactly how to stand up for herself. She can become your most loyal friend or your most terrifying enemy. Blanca always rushes to the front; she will not let anyone get bored. Her straightforwardness can be overwhelming, but that's part of her charm. Always smiling and friendly, how could such a person have problems? Well, you should not make hasty conclusions, because true feelings are not always hidden behind a smile.

when i get a million dollars i promise to come back here and fund this project, believe in your dreams
this is still on my mind, the potential this had was so huge. the characters pulled me in.
seems really interesting^
Defenitely needs more time and promo, people will support it! You should probably try Patreon instead of Kickstarter. Think about, the art is great and story interesting. Perhaps reconsider a little the amount of monologue, dialogue and actions. Good luck!
I hope you reconsider relaunching this project, the art is amazing!
The story is sooooo good .OMG I hope the team tries this project again in the future, I'll look forward to it.
crying, vomiting, banging my head against the wall, ITS ALWAYS THE GOOD ONES OMG...i shouldve donated a organ fr. maybe it needs more time, i say give it one more chance cause hey it just needs more exposure.
hoping success for this game its so good
Omg! this is so impressive, i'll wait for the full game
Старт хороший, Рин. Удачи :)
This vn has a lot of potential. I actually enjoyed it! The art is incredible btw
i enjoyed the demo!! the art was SUPER impressive, seriously. i love the plot, going on a road trip always seems so new and exciting and even just the demo gave me that feeling a bit. I dunno why some comments don't seem to like it, I think that the english was fine and didnt seem robotic at all! maybe i'm just used to it but it read fine in my brain! i hope you get more reach and more people find it so your kickstarter's funded!
a lot of good story going, but not sure if it's worth what the kickstarter is asking for based on the limited interaction of the demo here. it just concerns me that there won't be nearly enough interest to reach the funding goal. good luck.
omg i just ran into a gem
I think this has great potential, but there is something wonky about the English translation. It's not very bad, but it sounds robotic. It's like the characters are reading from scripts. You should consider getting a native English speaker to edit your English translation.
Finally it is out! ❤️
Sfw or Nsfw? Is there explict sex?
Hello! The demo is SFW!
Oh.
This looks so interesting. I need a download button. (is the demo unfinished or simply me being stupid to not find it???)
Hello! Thank you! Demo version will be released on March 12th!
Oh! I see. Thanks!
