Help Rue find happiness or lead him to ruin in this dark slice-of-life story about a teacher whose life is turned upside down when the homeless girl he often stares at out of his window shows up at his door, claiming to have found his wallet.

This is the BxG version of a game I made for Otome Jam 2021. I wanted to get this alternate version finished for sunofes jam. It is based on a script from the anthology series 'Inside No.9'.

Other Notes

The soundtrack was made while wearing headphones, as I don't have any speakers x3 So if you're playing without headphones, you may need to adjust the sound somewhat to get the best experience. I do recommend playing with headphones though.

I hope it is okay to submit this to sunofes. I'm not sure where it stands with the no sex rule. There is no sex or nudity in this game. And there is no suggestive artwork either. But there are a couple of written/voice scenes of a mildly sexual nature which can be avoided with choices.
