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.
Real-Life Japanese Travelers
Rieko Ayumi
“Anything short of death is just a scratch.”A tough and fearless woman who has traveled to 98 countries.
Strangled by a robber in Argentina, invited to become a fifth wife in Dubai, and crossing a river full of crocodiles on foot…
These unbelievable yet true stories of survival will shatter the values of anyone weighed down by doubt and anxiety.
Kenty
“Because I’m anxious, I keep moving.” A refreshingly timid nomadic worker.
Stranded while hitchhiking in France, caught in a lockdown right after starting a job in the Philippines, and returning home after just six months, terrified by gunshots…
His seemingly glamorous yet painfully messy career journey will gently—but firmly—push forward those who can’t see their future.
Bell
“It’s okay to run away. Life should be freer.” An indie game developer and world traveler.
After leaving a major game company, going independent, and failing, she faced the fear of being taken to a stranger’s home in Europe
and even underwent cosmetic surgery to overcome her own complexes.
Her brutally honest confessions, delivered with a laugh and the words “Being an adult is actually amazing,” will completely dismantle the rigid “common sense” that binds you.
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.
A world-traveler may disclose her near-death experience, or a former engineer may share the dark, unspoken secrets of the industry along with his experience-based philosophy that no textbook would ever print.
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 Background Gallery of 120 Scenes from Around the World
As the story progresses, backgrounds of famous landmarks and hidden alleys from all over the world—shared by the travelers—will be unlocked.
Approximately 70% of the backgrounds in this game were created using AI image generation.
120 unique types 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.
“You don't need to search for what you want to do. It’s simply an extension of what you find fun..”
“You don't need perfect words. It’s those awkward gestures fueled by a desire to connect that are the truest magic for reaching the world.”
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!
