Running Late is a mystery visual novel (no choices) where you are approached by a mysterious girl while waiting for your girlfriend who's running late.
Estimated time to play:5-10 minutes.
This story treats you as intelligent and doesn't hold your hand.
You'll have all the pieces to make sense of the mystery yourself.
Best of luck!
==========================================================
This game was made for theO2A2 VN Jam 2023, a micro Visual Novel jam with strict asset limitations and a 1000 word limit.
There were only 10 days allowed to work on this, but I had a ton of things going on in my personal life to a point where I only had about 3 days to actually make the game.
My goal is to continue to improve the game outside the jam, but I'll keep the O2A2 version around so you can see its original form.
For instance, there are some arbitrary rules that I had to follow in order to keep things limited to "one asset", but I'd like to generally improve the feel of the game by adding more graphics and sounds, and with much more polish.
Regardless, the mystery is fully solvable and makes sense when you know the answer. Enjoy!
