Eve of the 12 Months

Eve of the 12 Months is a visual novel for players who want a wintertime romance with an air of mystery behind it. The tone stays quiet and reflective, even as it moves toward more intimate territory.

Story

On Christmas Eve, an ordinary young man crosses paths with a girl he cannot remember but somehow recognizes. As their story unfolds, it becomes clear that others are drawn into the same tangle of history: one wants to protect what they share, another stands to gain something from it, and a third is set on finishing what they started. Their separate motives weave together into a single, unfolding tale.

Gameplay

Told in the style of a kinetic novel, the game moves through scenes and dialogue with little branching, letting the story unfold at its own pace rather than through player-directed choices. Progression comes from reading through the school-set romance as the man and the girl grow closer, with the narrative gradually revealing why she feels so familiar. Voiced dialogue and illustrated scenes carry the pacing rather than any separate mechanical loop.
