Your Voice in the Autumn Leaves
"Your Voice in the Autumn Leaves" is a deeply personal visual interactive story that follows 17-year-old Kure, a high school student reeling from a breakup with his girlfriend Kaori. Struggling with grief and isolation, Kure retreats into solitude, finding solace in music and gaming. His life shifts when he meets Autumn, a courageous teenager battling cancer, outside his mother’s hospital. Their connection sparks a journey of friendship, love, and resilience. Crafted using the Rpg Maker 2003 engine for the 2021 Great Autumn Game Jam, the game offers three distinct routes—Romance, Neutral, and Friendship—each shaping the narrative’s outcome. With two possible endings, players experience a poignant exploration of life’s fragility and emotional bonds. The game’s original banda sonora enhances its heartfelt tone, while its raw authenticity reflects the developer’s personal battle with illness. A moving tribute to human connection, it’s designed to resonate long after the credits roll. This title stands out for its emotional depth.
