Hillside: Part One – Fractured Lives
A character-driven adult visual novel about power, protection, and the past that never lets go.
Hillside: Part One – Fractured Lives is the first chapter of a two-part visual novel set in a glamorous but rotten town at the heart of the entertainment industry. You play as a world-weary military veteran turned bodyguard, hired to protect the daughter of Charlotte Lloyd—a world-famous supermodel whose success has made her both untouchable and dangerously exposed.
What begins as a simple job draws you into a web of corruption and quiet menace that controls the town from the shadows. To keep Charlotte and her family safe, you’ll have to confront powerful enemies—and your past.
The Town of Hillside
Hillside is a Hollywood-like city where image is everything and silence is survival. Influence is traded behind closed doors, careers are built or destroyed overnight, and certain figures operate far above the law. Your arrival threatens a balance that has stood for years.
Characters
Your choices shape your relationships with four central women, each facing personal struggles you may help them confront:
Charlotte Lloyd – A legendary supermodel shaped by everything she endured to survive at the top.
Lucy Lloyd – Charlotte’s younger sister and manager; dependable, selfless, and the emotional anchor of the family.
Suzi Lloyd – An elite university swimmer with Olympic ambitions; fearless, dominant, and unwilling to back down.
Emma Lloyd – A shy fashion design student, sheltered and uncertain, dreaming of success in a brutal industry.
Romance and intimacy develop naturally through story-driven choices. Different routes explore both slow-burn connections and more casual relationships.
A Complete First Chapter
As the bodyguard, you carry the weight of past failures and unresolved guilt. Though capable, you question your worth—and whether healing is still possible.
