This game was made for the Blossom VN Jam 2025 and it's a foray of experimentation when it comes to Renpy and making visual novels in general- I have very little experience in writing and coding a game, but I hope this prototype is enjoyable still!

The Bastion Café is a peculiar place where not every person you come across is an actual "person". Run by the enigmatic Dominique (she/her), watch as humans of all kinds seek out her and her supposed friends's aid while she attempts to figure out what makes them tick. 

Noel (they/them) has inherited a pocketwatch from their grandfather, and is convinced they're cursed.

Rhea (she/her) is a classics major with a penchant for getting in trouble and hell bent on helping Noel.

Ollie (they/them) no longer bothers with humans.

Clara (he/him) has a mistake to rectify.

Perhaps you will be interested in seeing how their stories go! During this prototype where decisions affect character's relationships, I hope to give you a taste of this exciting new world! I hope you enjoy.

I genuinely would not know. It's a basic renpy file so I'm sure it'd work. Lmk if it explodes dramatically and I will try to fix that.

Very rough, but conceptually interesting little visual novel centered around gods (I think?), and the power they hold over humans. I'm looking forward to seeing its potential fulfilled!

Shoutout to Clara, I really like his design (I have a time god bias).
