About This Demo

About the Demo

This is a prologue to "The Boy's Word" - a full-length visual novel about growing up in a Moscow suburb in the 2000s. The demo tells the story of the day Lena moves to a new district with her mother, and ends on the night before her first day at a new school - right where the full game begins.

What to expect

• About 10-15 minutes of atmospheric reading
  
• A few branching choices that shape the details of the story
  
• An introduction to Lena and her mother
  
• The same distinctive visual style as the full game - anxious, warm and melancholic

What's next?

The demo ends right where the full game begins - with a new school, a courtyard crew, and choices that will decide who Lena becomes. 10 characters, 5 endings and the price of belonging await you in the full version of "The Boy's Word."
