Mistflower Crossing

First love, and the way it lingers.

You’ve arrived at Mistflower Crossing, a small liberal arts college in a town that shares its name. You have four years. Twelve people are here, waiting to meet you.

Poppy, Rei, and Mimi from Mistflower Crossing

The cast

Twelve people. Twelve routes.

Character art is preliminary and still in progress.

China

Your RA

She has a color-coded planner for everyone’s problems. Her own tab is blank.

Preliminary character art of Rei

Rei

IT Specialist

She takes the long way past the server room on Tuesdays. So do you. Neither of you has mentioned it.

Preliminary character art of Poppy

Poppy

Music Prodigy

She performs other people’s compositions beautifully. Her own stay in a locked drawer.

Preliminary character art of Mimi

Mimi

Muralist

She’s easy to find. She is everywhere: hiding amigurumi, painting walls (and sometimes canvases), and yarn-bombing statues at 2 in the morning.

Sakura

Installation Artist

She’s loud at home and in the workshop, and quietly intense in the garden. She thinks she’s too much in both.

Erika

Model & Fashion Designer

She dresses like a headline and thinks like a designer. She is tired of people only reading the headline.

Jax

Hacker

He has a battered keyboard, a canteen that used to belong to his father, and absolutely no interest in letting you in.

Kenji

Campus Courier

He’s already somewhere else. His bike is named Tangerine (she/her). There is a very good hill for racing down. He even annotated the campus map about it.

Sylas

Musician & Dancer

Everyone knows his name. He is easy to approach and nearly impossible to reach. The warmth is real. Everything else is a performance, including for himself.

Lucien

Philosophy TA

He lives as if he were in the past. He finds the present unconvincing. He has not yet been persuaded otherwise.

Vesper

Filmmaker

He keeps a camera between himself and everything that matters. The footage is beautiful. He is never in it.

Griffon ✦

Game Master

He has a voice for every character, but sometimes wonders if he has a voice of his own.

Early screenshots

Work in progress. Art, UI, and text will change.

What It Is
A stat-raising dating simulation. Raise your Knowledge, Intellect, Expression, Vitality, and Charm. Spend your days carefully. Fall in love badly, then again better.
The Town
Mistflower Crossing is small enough that you’ll run into people, but still large enough that you can disappear.
The Tone
That fleeting, bittersweet feeling of a first love you know can’t last, and choose to feel completely anyway. Cherry blossoms caught mid-fall.
The Format
A 2D visual novel built in Godot 4. Four years, three time slots a day. Twelve routes with no route-locking.
