The Rebound

The Rebound is a visual novel dating sim for players who enjoy college-life stories with humor and heart under the adult content. The tone stays grounded and a little self-deprecating, even when things get messy.

Story

After a breakup leaves him adrift, a college guy stuck in a rut of bad habits and worse decisions gets a wake-up call that forces him to actually try. What follows is a slow climb back to self-respect, complicated by new people, romantic entanglements, and a growing reputation on the basketball court.

Gameplay

Play through campus life as a male protagonist balancing school, romance, and pickup games in a sandbox structure with RPG elements. Days are spent building relationships with the women around town, exploring new locations as they open up, and making choices that shape both his love life and his standing as a player on the court. Progress ties together social encounters, NSFW scenes, and basketball as parallel measures of how far he's come.

Features

• School-setting sandbox with a growing cast of characters across multiple locations
