It’s the summer of 1986 in Lakeshore: neon nights, mixtapes, and the warm glow of Sunset Video—a mom-and-pop rental store hanging by a thread as the slick Video King chain moves in. You’re a 20-year-old, player-named MC with a secret (you dropped out) and a dream you barely admit to yourself (becoming a filmmaker). Over one unforgettable week, you’ll rally the town, save or lose the store, and fall in love.
Six fully branched romance routes
Choose your path with Veronica (warm store owner), Helen (guarded goth), Lucy (sunny mascot), Chloe (shy coder), Tessa (tomboy best friend) or Sloane (aloof salon owner). Each woman has her own inner conflict, chemistry, and Act III story where you film a short starring her from neon music-video vibes to moody horror and skate docu-drama.
Your choices matter (no stat-grind, no minigames)
This is a pure visual novel: branching dialogue choices only. Mid-game, your decisions lock a route (or lead to a solo “director” path). Your community actions also decide whether Sunset Video is saved or shuttered, a turning point that changes what follows.
14 endings, built for replay
12 heroine endings (2 per route)
1 philosophical solo ending (no romance, creative fulfillment)
1 early bad ending if the store closes
SFW and comfortable by design
100% SFW. Expect yearning looks, kisses, and tasteful fade-to-black. All characters are clearly 18+, all romance is clearly consensual, no explicit content.
