Welcome to Restart, an immersive Adult Visual Novel where every choice carves your destiny. You wake up in a new, unfamiliar home with a clean slate, but shadows of your past linger. As you settle into a quiet countryside house, owned by the mysterious Hargreevs couple, Sarah and Jonathan, you'll embark on a journey of self-discovery, financial struggle, and evolving relationships.
In this demo of Restart, you will:
Forge Your Path: Experience a dynamic day-night cycle, managing your time between work, relaxation, and exploring your new surroundings.
Interact & Influence: Engage in your first meaningful conversations with Sarah and Jonathan, where your responses subtly shape their perception of you.
Manage Your Life: Keep track of your energy and mood, knowing that every action has consequences on your well-being. Start earning money, but don't forget your looming debt and weekly rent!
Customize Your Appearance: Dive into a detailed wardrobe system, allowing you to choose your daily outfits and express your evolving identity.
Uncover Hints: Opt for a helping hand with in-game hints that gently guide you through early events and mechanics.
This demo offers a glimpse into the intricate world of Restart, focusing on the core mechanics and your initial interactions. The choices you make now, even the seemingly small ones, will lay the groundwork for a much larger narrative.
A Note on Graphics for the Demo: Please be aware that some of the visual assets for this demo, including certain background images and character elements, have been generated using AI. This helps us to quickly prototype and bring the vision of Restart to life during early development.
