A Celestial Detour - visual novel [demo]

A  mecha-pilot duo on their well-deserved vacation...until the spaceship carrying them crash-landed on an unfamiliar planet.

Now stranded, the crew and passengers must now embark on (an unexpectedly relaxing) road trip to the nearest launch pad that can take them home.

Get to know the colorful group of humans, cyborg, android, and aliens while navigating through unfamiliar food, old wounds, and and the looming threat of an intergalactic war.  

Make good memories, forge new friendships, and perhaps find that one love on this week-long journey along the beautiful coastline of Planet Apo.

[I will insert a character introduction here soon, stay tuned]
