Overview
Growing Pains is a visual novel for players who enjoy character-driven stories with a comedic, low-stakes premise. The tone stays light even as things get a little chaotic.
Story
A nerdy protagonist sets out to make his own steroids and ends up with something else entirely: a homemade concoction that changes the women around him in unexpected ways.
Gameplay
Play unfolds through narrated scenes and dialogue choices as the protagonist's experiment ripples outward into the people around him. Story paths split to focus on different women before looping back together, giving each one dedicated screen time.
Features
- 3D-rendered scenes with a school setting backdrop
- Branching paths that later reconverge, letting you see multiple sides of the story
Installation
1. Extract and run.
Changelog
v0.02
- Content wise, there are two divergent paths focusing on each of the girls. The paths will remerge until I decide to make the first major divergent paths. Izumi gets a fair bit more content that Riley in this update, since we didn't see too much of her in the demo. But do not worry Riley fans, she still gets her deserved showtime. Also I have added some sound effects, let me know if they are a good idea or if they should go.
