13 Romanceable Characters

Every character has her own storyline, schedule, and ending — with branching events shaped by how you treat her.

200+ Animations

Fully animated intimate scenes with slow, medium and fast speeds, climax finishes and 100+ CGs — every one unlockable and replayable from the in-game gallery.

Choices That Matter

Branching storylines, mini-games, and in-game phone apps react to how you play — your decisions steer every route.

Meet the Girls of the Valley

Thirteen romanceable women — each with her own storyline, schedule, and ending

Kate

The Landlady

Warm, direct, and your first connection in the valley. Her storyline is one of the deepest routes in the game.

Vesna

The Doner Shop Rider

A goth delivery rider above the doner shop who insults things before they can disappoint her. Half of the game's first paired route.

Maren

The Building Owner

She owns the doner building and runs it by the rules — until she starts amending them. Romance her, Vesna, or both.

Juno

The Card Shark Next Door

Your new neighbour in Flat 2 knows what everything is worth down to the cent — and brings a whole card-collecting hobby with her.

Robin

The Animal Shelter Girl

The sunny girl who runs the animal shelter, warm from the very first line. Her 12-event arc comes with 15 animations.

Vivienne

The Penthouse Resident

Haughty in public, a different woman in private — the glamorous resident of the beach penthouse, with her own 12-event storyline.

Diana

The Lady of the Modern House

Lonely in a big modern house — her route is about finally being seen. Added in v0.80 with her own locations and 24 animations.

Callie

The Beach Girl

Reckless and outdoorsy — she sets every dare. Her route got the biggest rework in v0.92, including a new night at the cove.

Sophia

The Elegant One

Dry-witted and effortlessly elegant, rebuilding her life one true thing at a time — and Misty the cat now lives at her house.

Carmen

The Bar Waitress

Banter is a sport at her bar — and as of v0.92 the bar has a stage, with music nights on Thursdays.

Sienna

The Next-Door Neighbor

Guarded and exhausted, she lives right next door — earn her trust inch by inch. An original from launch, her route now has a full ending.

Professor Bailey

The History Professor

Composed at Wrenfield College — spend time with her after hours and that composure shifts. Her arc now ends with a post-story night at her house.

Maya

The College Student

A shy first-year finding her footing — she takes warming up to, and her trust builds event by event.
