Nostalgic 1999 is officially released!

Nostalgic 1999
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Hello,

Nostalgic 1999 - a brand new visual novel set in the Y2K era - is now live and free to download! ðŸŽ‰

Release date: December 8th, 2025

No more waiting for updates. This is the full project and the entire story can be experienced from beginning to end.

About

A comedic - and grounded - visual novel set before the turn of the new millennium.  Four people's lives will intertwine for the first time. This is a story of their misadventures and how their relationships will unravel.

The project was made in Ren'Py and has been in (on-and-off) development since 2023. This is also a portfolio piece, and as such, my intention is to release it entirely for free. But there is an option for donating.

The story takes place across five different days. Each day has its own unique events and you follow along with the characters and what kind of scenarios they get themselves into.

New Screenshots

They first meet. How's that going to turn out for them?



Old school vibes. Arcade cabinets surrounded by neon, smartphones not being a thing yet, and people just went out and did things.



Malls were a huge deal back in the day.


The characters have their likes and obsessions. Naomi likes outer space, Dakota is building a plush collection, and April reads comics.



"The world is always ending - and I don't know what to do."



So get it here!

Now available on Windows, Linux, and Mac platforms.
