About This Game

“Are you really okay with living like this?” For the players just getting by in their everyday lives.
This is a visual novel with simulation elements. About 80% of the story is based on true events, and depicts the stories of real-life travelers such as Rieko Ayumi, who has traveled to 98 countries as of now.
As a staff member at a bar where travelers gather in Tokyo, you will encounter their unconventional lives and grow alongside them.
In the process, your rigid values and assumptions are bound to be shaken.
This is a simulation for lost souls like you to encounter a new version of yourself.

“Anything short of death is just a scratch.” A tough and fearless woman who has traveled to 98 countries.

Get Closer and Draw Out Their True Feelings

At first, conversations may be nothing more than casual small talk.
But as your bond deepens, you’ll unlock stories told nowhere else.

Your Choices Shape the Face of the Bar

The experiences you gain through conversations with travelers, combined with the parameters you develop, will change the design of the bar’s signboard. Your growth and outlook on life are visualized directly through the face of the shop itself.

A Vast Background Gallery from Around the World

As the story progresses, backgrounds of famous landmarks and hidden alleys from across the globe—shared by the travelers—will be unlocked. Approximately 70% of the backgrounds in this game were created using AI image generation. A vast variety of scenery, crafted through both AI and human creativity, will bring color to your journey.

※AI-generated images are marked with identification tags in the gallery.

Collect Values in the “Learning Notes”

The protagonist records impactful stories and lessons learned from the travelers in a notebook. As these notes accumulate, they will become guiding principles for the lost protagonist—and for you.

A developer’s motivation truly depends on your click.

Working on a game alone can be tough at times…But every wishlist notification gives me the strength to keep going another day with a fresh cup of coffee. I’d love for you to become a companion on my journey!
