Yuri, Romance, Slice of life, Drama, Kinetic novel · by Studio Élan · 2016
Grieving and alone in an inherited motorhome, Amber picks up a lost hitchhiker in New Mexico and gets dragged into a nationwide gold-rush treasure hunt.
Who it's for: Readers who want a short, warm, fully voiced road-trip romance between two young women, with no choices to manage.
The story (spoiler-free)
Amber is drifting through the American Southwest in her late grandfather's motorhome, not interested in anyone or anything. Then she gives a ride to Marina, a cheerful hitchhiker who is stranded in the desert, and the two end up chasing clues from an old miner's journal that has the whole country hunting for gold.
It is a kinetic novel: no choices, just a steady road trip through painted desert landmarks, a big soundtrack and a slow-building romance. The Remastered version on PC adds full English voice acting and is the only PC version sold today.
Explicit scenes are a free, separate add-on for PC, so the base game is all-ages. Next Exit is a later side story set at a UFO convention in Las Vegas; the Switch Gold Rush Edition bundles both stories.
