I just wanted to take the time to share a game that I really enjoyed: https://shibaintel.itch.io/red-do
It's a visual novel/dating sim kind of game where the player can control the character to do certain things each day. A brief summary of the story: The main protagonist is a hikikomori due to a scarring incident in their past which led them to avoid any social contact. A few years later, a close friend tries to help the protagonist to settle back into social life by offering them a new job position. Thus, a new chapter in their life begins as they start to rediscover the joy of living among other people again. Perhaps even finding themselves in a blossoming relationship with a certain someone along the way.
I really loved the characters in that game and how they were written. Though the developer is Japanese and the translations might be a bit off sometimes, it never really bothered me. The visual novel aspect along with the interactive part felt really great, and I also really liked the design of the characters.
I originally stumbled upon this game since it was made with Smile Game Builder and submitted to a certain jam that I was watching, though sadly up to this day it only is a demo and none of the routes can be truly completed. But still, I wanted to share it so that perhaps I can get others to discover it, and who knows, maybe I can contribute that it will be completed one day with this :3 it's for free!
