Archiver of Inkwell
Shiori: What's this?
Shiori's Jacket: Hiya, Shiori! This is a project a bunch of us put together in about a month (including writing, editing, artwork and programming) in between real-life jobs, school, and just real-life, to celebrate your birthday!
robsawn: Right! We decided to envision a couple of stories that some of your past Novelites might have experienced, and hope you get the chance to enjoy them completely. You (as the player) are a college student on their way home after a long day of classes, and have an encounter that changes everything. Trope-y, but it's fiiiiiiine. Everything after that? Well, that's for you to see for yourself!
robsawn: Just so no one's caught of guard, there are some graphic descriptions of violence in a couple sections, so please be aware of that as you play! It's harder to get to, but we feel everyone should be aware!
For the uninitiated, who is Shiori Novella?

Interesting story! I only played a few minutes but I'm looking forward to what happens next!
Very cute character art and nice music choice.
Good game! :D
Thanks! Glad to hear it!
3 hours of worth of content, perfect game for me
Great! We're thrilled to hear it!
Hihi! I'm Shiori's Jacket and I had an opportunity and pleasure to work with Robsawn and the rest of the crew on creating this new, amazing Visual Novel fan game as we worked so hard on this for a while now! Please enjoy playing our game and hopefully you like/love it! It's so cool to work with the hard-working Novelites! Thank you for having us and Happy Birthday, Shiori Novella! Enjoy!
Is it possible to have a standalone download version of this? Renpy's web builder is too memory heavy to run on my computer and the animations are lagging. T_T
Were you using Firefox? Firefox doesn't really agree with a lot of web games.
I tried Chrome, Edge, and Firefox. I guess renpy webversion games just don't agree with my computer? Thank you for the response! I'll just play through like this I guess.
Interesting... I'm not sure, but it may have something to do with various plugins or additions to your browser.
If you use a smartphone, it's also playable there! We worked hard to make sure it would be ok!
