Developer description

Quoted from the Steam store page. Read the full description

Starting college should be your first step toward independence—finding a job, earning money, and supporting your family. But when life at home gets worse, survival is no longer enough. A strange new job offers more money than anything else available… but it comes with difficult choices.

How far will your ambition take you—and what will it cost? FEATUES:  Sandbox gameplay — Explore the world, interact with characters, and decide how you spend your time. Story-driven gameplay — Follow the main story while discovering additional character and side stories. Meaningful choices — Your decisions influence your relationships and how people respond to you.…
