Overview:
Inspired by Shimesaba’s Higehiro (2017-2018), My Runaway Girl is the story of Toshio—a part-time convenience store clerk who lets Miyoko stay with him in exchange for household upkeep. Of course, both have their respective issues. Will they overcome their hardships together? Will a different relationship blossom? Or… will someone find out and punish them for their decisions? What happens is entirely up to your choices! The full game will contain 15 chapters, side stories that may affect the main plot, and three unique routes. You can pursue romance, friendship, or…. something sinister.
Gameplay
Alongside a visual novel presentation, MRG contains a needs system, a store / job system, buyable items (including gifts and outfits), and the ability to change Toshio’s name. Choices will be used to determine how the protagonists’ relationship develops, too! One of our goals is to make the choices satisfying, with realistic-but-interesting consequences for the characters.
Release information
The prologue’s intended release date is September 16-17, 2022. We will then release improvements—and add new storylines—by the end of October. In mid-November, we hope to have an official demo with four main chapters for you to enjoy!
