About This Game

"A promise made under the petals of the past, kept in the silence of the present."

Palliative - Reach for an Angel is a poignant, linear kinetic Visual Novel that explores the thin line between holding on and letting go. Experience a story about a transfer student, a girl who refused to be defined by her illness, and a football rivalry that became a lifeline.

The Story

Yuu, a transfer student seeking a fresh start, finds himself drawn to the mysterious and gentle Nana at a local 'Halal Mart'. Their bond grows over shared snacks, whispered conversations in the school library, and a solemn Pinky Promise under a legendary sakura tree that blooms later than all the rest.

But as the seasons shift from the warmth of spring to the harsh reality of winter, a devastating secret is revealed. Nana is in palliative care, fighting a terminal battle with Stage 4 Ovarian Cancer.

When the world wants to treat her like a "glass doll," Yuu must learn what it truly means to love someone who is fading: not by mourning them while they are still alive, but by celebrating every "Normal Tuesday" they have left.

Key Features

• An Emotional Rollercoaster: A carefully crafted Act-based narrative that transitions from a sweet high-school romance into a deep exploration of grief, acceptance, and the "Final Wish."

• A "Normal" Perspective: Unlike typical tragedies, this story emphasizes the beauty of mundane life—from arguing about football blunders (Go, Manchester Red!) to sneaking into a movie theater just to feel like a teenager again.

• The "Digital Inheritance": A unique narrative focus on memory. How do we choose to remember those we lose? What do we keep, and what do we delete?

• Cultural Fusion: Set in a vivid world featuring Indonesian-inspired local spots like the Halal Mart, blending regional warmth with classic Visual Novel aesthetics.
