umineko Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 (edited) Check out the demo here! Check out the Kickstarter pre-launch page! Ikimashou! - Let's go on an adventure! is a visual novel set in the wonderful land of Canada! Set off on the ultimate journey across the North, and make lots of friends along the way! It'll be a blast! The story takes place in 3 different cities across Canada: Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver. Each has its own unique setting and personality, with lots of places to explore, people to meet, and things to do! You were born and raised in a small town in Northern Ontario, until one day your family decided to move to Montreal, Quebec. You've been living in the city ever since, but you're starting to feel like something/someplace is missing from your life... maybe it's time to try something new? Longing for a happy and independent life, you head out to explore the rest of Canada and what it has to offer. Will you meet someone special on vacation? Or maybe you'll just have a fun trip across The North? Either way, who knows where your journey will take you! Combining Japanese visual novel features such as voice acting, a cute anime art style alongside beautiful backgrounds, with a familiar Canadian setting. Recommended for people unfamiliar with the visual novel medium, or those who want a lighter, feel-good story. Zinnia Jackson ジニア・ジャクソン | Protagonist | CV: 夢前 黎 Height: 160 cm Birthday: ???
