This really made my evening (both enjoying the game and also shedding a little tear...). The story is not that big but so intense and you feel every seconds ticking. I really loved the plot and really recommend this game !

Is there a download link for the game ? I am having trouble to find it. The text above sounds so promising.

I’ve never, ever felt such a deep, bone-level attachment to a character in a visual novel—and I’ve fallen hard before, believe me. But the main character… he wasn’t just a love interest. He felt like a missing piece of myself I hadn’t even known was gone. He just resonates so much with how I've felt during my childhood and how I will be soon moving out for college and stuff, leaving everything behind me The story isn’t just raw; it bleeds. Honest doesn’t even begin to cover it. Every character drags their scars into the light, unvarnished and aching. But there’s a purity there—like they’re reaching out to each other through pain, offering something real in a world so often starved for truth. I stayed up two entire nights not because I had to, but because I couldn’t stop. And when it finally ended, I felt adrift—like I’d been holding Aldric’s hand through stormy nights, and now… there’s only silence in my apartment. And beyond Aldric, the whole package is breathtaking. That main menu… just, wow. It’s not a menu. The tiniest details—how buttons shift, how the music settles in your chest, even how the cursor hovers like a careful touch—it’s a moment of ceremony every time you boot the game. The art holds you. The backgrounds don’t just represent places; they are places—Montana dusk pressed against your eyes, the chill in the air settling into your bones. And the soundtrack? I could write a thesis on how it holds space for ya. Look, I finished it in two evenings. Two nights of absolute mental breakdown, and then... that hollow echo when it’s over. I’m sad, yes—but more than that, I feel changed. And I’m so damn grateful. Thank you, devs, for sculpting something so delicate and yet so unforgettable, for writing with the kind of love that drips off every character, every ambient hum, every quiet moment.

So to SplitPeak Studios: please, please don’t give up. If I could say anything: please keep going with this beautiful, aching VN. It belongs somewhere in the hearts of everyone who knows what it’s like to find a soul in fiction, and to never forget when you lose it—for just a moment, you had the world in your hands. And I know I speak for so many of us when I say: don’t ever give that up. Your care shows in every pixel and line, and you’ve created something that genuinely means something to people. To folks reading this: if you’ve ever been moved by quiet  stories, if you like character-forward writing and evocative soundtracks, or if you’re looking for a VN that treats tenderness like an art — please give it a chance for real. Support the devs if you can. This is the kind of indie art that needs love to keep growing.

Ooh man, I've never wrote a huge comment like this, sorry I got carried on haha.

Thank you so much for your reply ! I’m also looking forward to implanting sprites ASAP. Hope the next build will be to your expectations ! 🫰

Heya ! I'm integraal, and I'm seeking for people to help me out for my visual novel called Shards of Tomorrow.
I wasn't born with the ability to draw (/j) hence I cannot really provide arts, CGs and sprites to my game. I would love people to help me with art, but also with writing (English isn't my main english #🇫🇷) so please don't hesitate to contact me !
The demo of my VN is on my page.
Thanks for passing by !
