About This Game


Yuel never did get on with his father, Khalil. He found the man overbearing and abrasive, and the fraught relationship between the pair all-but disintegrated once Yuel left for university. For eight years, Yuel has heard nothing from his father: something he feels only vague flickers of remorse about...

Until, in a shocking twist of fate, Khalil's lawyer and close confidant, Armand, reaches out to him. His father, quite unexpectedly, has passed away, and he has left his prodigal son a hefty inheritance.

Even more shocking, however, is the revelation that Yuel is not an only child, as he always imagined. In the eight years that they fell out of contact, Khalil fathered another child in his sixties: a young boy called Reza.

Reza's existence was kept a secret from Yuel's entire family, and when word gets out about him, there's an uproar. Nobody wants to take in the young boy whom Khalil fathered illicitly, and it seems likely he'll be sent to an orphange - until Yuel steps up.

Though Yuel lives in a small, rundown apartment at the age of twenty-eight, he's determined to do right by his younger brother. He's determined to look after Reza as best he can, and he isn't alone. Yuel's older cousin, Tavi, offers to help - and, in so doing, Yuel's life is changed for good.
