Unfortunately, time flows fast, and soon, the day is going to end, which means that the two will have to part their ways and return to their separate lives. Luke is ready to let this sudden crush go, but Gary struggles with it.

Player's Age: 18+ (no explicit adult content, but might touch on some adult topics, as it was based on a short story solely for adult audiences)

This game was made with the help of AI - but still with much love and effort. 

• 7000+ words of professionally written and edited text, with guaranteed happy ending.
• Linear storyline, no choices, one ending (happy ending).
• Important themes, such as being environmentally conscious, following one's dreams despite all odds, seeing life as a journey, and tuning into one's soul   through spiritual practice. 
• 2 main characters: Luke (fashion designer) and Gary (famous actor). This game has no character sprites, just character portraits.
• Game interface stylized as the main character's desk, with various story-related  ephemera such as posters, leaflets, stickers, maps, fabric samples, and others (static, non clickable/interactive, but nevertheless fun!).
• Gameplay uncommon for the visual novel genre: rather than follow the main characters across different locations, you experience the story by reading the main character's notes  (displayed on the text interface) and looking at the photos and souvenirs scattered on their desk. 
• A soundtrack consisting of chill, instrumental ballads, plus additional sound effects to create a tropical vibe.

Luke is an Australian fashion designer with bad temper, who's been single for a while. When his friend Melinda jokingly tells him, Gary might be the one, Luke just brushes her off. He's rather down to earth, although he dreams about creating the new mainstream.

Gary is an actor, most famous for playing Demarcus in the vampire tv drama named Crimson Redemption. He's a quiet, kind and tactful person, who however has a certain determination. He used to sleep on trains, and eat ready-to-go sandwiches, to get his big chance.

Luke and Gary bond over their desire to make a change in the world, both as artists and private people.
