Only in Passing (A Short, Original Visual Novel)

Only in Passing (A Short, Original Visual Novel)

Project Overview

Thank you for your interest in the project!


SYNOPSIS

That person on the train. That person in the cafe. That person whose gaze you meet for a moment...


These are the people you meet only in passing, then never to see again...


"Only in Passing" is a bite-sized, indie visual novel with a chill, lo-fi aesthetic. It's all about the brief encounters we have during our daily lives. The VN can only be played once. And the scenarios encountered are randomized.


This will be released for FREE on itch.io for PC, Mac, and Linux.


This is a non-union project.

Rate: $3 per line. Minimum $40 USD.
