A downloadable Visual Novel

This game was created for Winter Visual Novel Jam 2023!


Graphic design was your passion. But now it's more like your prison as a timely snowstorm has left you and your coworker stranded in the office on Christmas Eve. It's not how you pictured you'd be spending the holidays, but it's better than spending it alone, right?

I haven't even played this yet (In the process of downloading) and the pictures look like a lot of time and effort had been put into this! And based of the pictures I would have a lot of fun playing this game ^^ Edit: Just played the game, I love it. Yuki sounds British to me... One question, why do you use They/Them Pronouns for Yuki?

Thanks for playing!! Glad to hear you enjoyed it :) about Yuki using They/Them pronouns, in my head it's just what he's comfortable with and doesn't mind using those alongside He/Him.

Ah Ty!! It's so nice seeing a game including a LGBTQ+ (I assume ((Ik it's bad to assume))) Character! Not a lot of games include them <3

Thanks for making such a fun and creative experience! Yuki is a sweetie and I really sympathized for the main character and their struggles. I enjoyed playing ~ ^_^

Oh my goodness thank you so much!! I'm glad you enjoyed playing!!

OMG first comment??? But seriously, this was super cute, very cozy, love the UI design, the soundtrack is fab (listening to the main menu tune as I type this), and Yuki is just too sweet 💛
