Restarted: Who Will You Be? (Demo)

ABOUT THE GAME

Welcome to Restart, an immersive Adult Visual Novel in where every choice shapes your destiny. You awaken in a new, strange home with a blank slate, but memories of your past linger.

As you settle into a tranquil countryside cottage owned by the mysterious Hargreevs couple, Sarah and Jonathan, you’ll engage on a voyage of self-discovery, financial hardship, and changing relationships.

In the Restart demo, you will:

Forge Your Path: Follow a dynamic day-night cycle, dividing your time between work, relaxation, and exploring your new surroundings.

Interact and Influence: Have your first meaningful interactions with Sarah and Jonathan, and your responses will slowly change their opinion of you.

Manage Your Life: Keep track of your energy and mood, and remember that every action has an impact on your well-being. Begin earning money, but don’t forget about your outstanding debt and weekly rent!

Customize Your Appearance: Explore a detailed wardrobe system that allows you to select your everyday clothing and express your changing identity.

Uncover tips: Use in-game tips to help you navigate early events and mechanics.

This demo provides an introduction to the intricate universe of Restart, focusing on the main concepts and your first interactions. Your current decisions, no matter how minor, will create the basis for a far larger story.

A Note on Demo Graphics: Please be aware that parts of the visual assets for this demo, such as backdrop graphics and character elements, were generated using artificial intelligence.

This allows us to swiftly prototype and bring Restart’s vision to life during the early stages of development.

Looking Ahead: The Future of ‘Restart’ (ongoing story).

Your comments on this demo is extremely valuable and will have a direct impact on Restart’s ongoing story process. We are dedicated to constructing the entire narrative as a continuous effort that is produced and impacted by our community.

Based on player support and interaction, we want to offer regular, large content updates, which will:

Advance the Narrative: The plot will continue with new chapters, events, and crucial moments that directly follow the decisions made in prior editions.

Deepened connections: Build intricate connections with NPCs using extensive trust and attachment mechanisms that unlock additional dialogues, scenes, and branching storylines.

Rich Character Progression: Customize and alter your character with precise physical and hair adjustments, as well as the ability to define your personal expression (feminization, dominance/submissiveness, charm, and confidence).

Expanded World and Activities: Unlock new locales, meet a broad cast of individuals, and participate in a greater range of activities, all of which affect your stats and open up new plot pathways.

Hand-Drawn Artwork: One key goal for future development is to gradually replace AI-generated elements with totally hand-drawn, high-quality 2D art created by dedicated artists, ensuring a consistent and polished visual style.

The future of Restart is an evolution rather than a single release. Thank you for playing, and we hope you’ll join us in creating this captivating universe!
