New Horizon
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
Game Synopsis
Everyone is broken in their own way, with traumas in the past or regrets they cannot let go. Each of the lost souls longs for the missing pieces to fill their empty hearts. Hope, anticipation; fear, hesitation. All mixed in.
When you finally mustered up the courage to take the first step forward, the anxiety and little voice inside your head make you retreat back into the dark corner again. “If it’s you holding my hands, then maybe, just maybe, I’ll be able to fly again.” Will you make the choice this time? Or let everything slip away again?
Your second year of university has just started. Everything is a smooth sail until you encounter a girl who smells like trouble. Everything in your life is about to be turned upside down with new encounters and new troubles. Perhaps, new hopes, too.
Come unravel the mystery surrounding you and the ones around you. Hold on to your dreams and loved ones, because a storm is brewing on the Horizon.

--------------- Additional Info ---------------
Regarding Chika
Here I will be addressing some concerns and misunderstandings regarding Chika in the update 0.3.
It's interesting to see the many reactions from the players about Chika's development so far. I see some prejudice and some are very quick to judge. If you just want quick sex and super fast relationships then my game is definitely not for you. This is more about how characters overcome their past and sufferings, and really get to know each other. Just like real life. You learn more about someone as you spend more time with them, in various different situations. You can choose to love them, or ignore them. You're not forced to go with any specific route. I guess some immediately think it's gonna be love or relationship from the start. However, it could be friendship or just wanna help someone get a better life. She helped your sister too. Many don't realize that a lot of love also starts from friendships. I would say that you shouldn't see the girls in my game as purely "Love interests". They're just more prominent characters that are featured in the stories and ones that you can interact with. I don't consider my game a typical AVN. I'm merely writing stories I want to present. That being said, you can still help Chika, without being in love with her.
A girl you met a week ago and only talked to a few times won't just magically spills all of the secrets and stories about herself. You have to know that relationship takes time, especially for someone who was hurt so many times like her, if you're really interested in her, help her open up her heart, instead of giving her another bad experience. There's a lot you need to uncover about her story to fully understand, and the truth will surprise you. This has become like a test or experiment. Some stop caring and walk away as soon as they see that there are some indications that she's a "prostitute"(the quotation marks matter, as you will understand it in future updates), and never try to fully understand her. They will miss out on some good stories, and the truth is not what everybody thinks. As for those few who's calling this NTR or not vanilla, well... All I can say is that you don't really fully understand the meaning of those tags, and you made judgement too quickly. Her story is only just starting. If you actually try to overcome your prejudice and try to uncover her, you will know more about the truth. But if you still decide against it, it's very easy to end her route as well. I didn't force you to go through with her story, it's completely up to you. What I can say is that this is not a NTR game, and is vanilla. You will understand if you're willing to play future updates and actually uncover her story.
Do you really expect every girl you see to be a complete virgin? That no girls had prior sex experience with their ex or whoever? We already have some girls that are virgins. I don't want to make it into some virgin collector game. Don't forget, MC isn't a virgin as well, he had an ex, so please stop having double standards. My game has its own unique audience. So for those who don't like it, you got like at least 1000 other AVNs to try, no need to leave useless hateful comments or reviews about that one thing you don't agree with(the toxic players). Provide some actual feedback please. It’s okay to not like her, I respect your preference. But I definitely have no respect for those that make fun of her suffering and status, or leave 1 star review just because they hate “prostitute”. They’re the exact kind of people Chika is referring to in the story, and the reason why we can’t have nice things. Everyone and every job deserve respect, even if you don’t agree with or like it. Whatever the case is, I stand by the story I’m creating, I don’t really care if some fainthearted players don’t like it because they can’t take it. If they’re not willing to try to see past their own prejudice and judgment, and watch how the story plays out, then I don’t really want them to play my game either. This is clearly not for them.
People will keep talking, while I keep cooking.

I'm unable to launch the AVN on Android because it keeps exiting.And I agree what you explained on the Additional information.
What has the world come to that people can no longer understand that characters can be complex and flawed with their own stories, rather than a cardboard cutout of your projection fantasy?
Is media literacy really that dead? Do people not ever have a relationship or talk to the opposite sex anymore?
Is this place just full of children now?
I'm glad dev did not give up out of entitled manchildren screeching. As someone who's done content and creative work before, I know how disheartening it can be.
Keep up the good work and don't let it get to you.
i second this
WTF are you smoking you have to be forced to doing sex work to be a complex character that is the only way right ? .
Seriously he can go whit the story of chika having a abusive father thats okay but she had to go for the sex work cant she work a normal part time but the father takes all his money no it has to be prostitute because this is a porn game and we had to had the prostitute , raped girl , abused girl etc to later MC save her and then she falls in love whit MC because he dosent judge her like the others yeah very new story never seeing it in other 20 games very oroginal yes yes
Instead of whining about someone else's work, where he invested all of his time, effort, and talent for us to enjoy without even asking for anything in return, why don't you just build your own game if you have a fantastic idea about how it should have been? Show us that you are superior to the creator if you believe so. Come on, create some dogshit content, and we'll be the ones who judge how crappy it is.
Just finished 0.3 just want to say it was a fun and awesome experience!, its so good!. Now about the thing with chika...HOLY FUCK ITS NOT EVEN THAT MUCH OF A BIG DEAL JUST FUCKING PLAY THE DAMN GAME LMAOO, IF YOU DIDN'T EVEN TRY IT OUT JUST BECAUSE OF THE COMMENTS ABOUT IT THEN YOU'RE TOTALLY MISSING OUT IT'S LITERALLY SO GOOD IM TELLING YALL
Uhm so I have just started playing this game, having seen the devs statement and the comment section, I just want to say that first of all we all are not some chads in life as we are in a sex game(avn) comment section duh, so getting that out of the way I think it does feel bad to play a game like this where the mc is getting with multiple girls, when even one girl is hinted to be a prostitute or whatever happened in the new version as degenerate as it sounds even when the mc has multiple girls and can avoid this path but like I said we are in a sex game comment section, the people calling her leftover food or what not is ofc extremely disgusting, its a nuanced situation and a from what ive read a complicated storyline. I can understand why some ppl might think this is NTR, the type where you share the girl even when its actually technically not, idk havent played the game but yea ppl got angry ig, but again if avoiding this girl doesnt avoid some crucial story then its fine. One more thing I would like to say is that I guess there could have been a better way to make the character story so ppl wouldnt feel its ntr but again like the dev is not obliged to pander to ppl like that. I think ppl in the comments couldve expressed their thoughts in a better and peaceful way and asked the dev to change a couple of things, maybe he would had maybe he wouldnt had, but yea the conclusion is that its understandable that ur upset but the things some ppl are saying are unnecessarily toxic.
So like can anyone confirm that avoiding that girl wont make me miss crucial part of the story?
Btw I had the 0.1.5 version of this game downloaded since last year and the models are a lil weird, I wanted to ask if they have got better in the new versions since the art on this page looks really cool.
Does the Chika situation even count as NTR when they're not romantically involved? Idk people seem to just wanna be professional mouth breathers. Game's great so far and I'm looking forward to see how the characters develop further.
讲真的 这里面我最喜欢的人物就是Chika 她的造型 与建模让我第一眼就很喜欢 虽然我不喜欢她的工作 与她的一些习惯 但我相信KS能给她的剧情走向正轨 让主角去救赎她
KS，0.4更新大概什么时候?
干，作者真的塞太多梗在里面了，我玩的时候真的爆笑，剧情也很棒，谢谢作者，希望能继续玩到新的剧情。
Hello all bros I want to know
Where can I find 3d models(as like whole city ) used in this game
Please answer 🙏
I like your game, KS.Even if they stop playing, I will always support you. The behind-the-scenes tidbits you set are very interesting, just like those girls really exist and live with us. Come on, you will become an excellent author.
0.3 but yea its cooked very nice game maybe this is my second fav
KS,thank you for making this game
I think my post got removed. Sorry I wasn't taking a stab at you. Was just generally asking if assets are shared between other AVN devs. Great game btw. I like this one more then most because it didn't feel like I was jumping from hole to hole every 3 seconds like every other AVN, there's enough story/side stuff between the sex scenes to keep you invested in the story. And now that I've finished the current content depression is gonna set in lol
Jogo maravilhoso que realmente tem uma pegada mais realista, os que estão reclamando não sabem apreciar uma história profunda e com camadas, continue nessa pegada, por que tem vários fã que estão amando o seu trabalho
the book of Change，it must belong to Tzeentch lol
A few Comments show that we're not all 18+ ngl. If you dont like a girl then skip her lil arc if ur not mature enough, the story is great cuz its not like the soulless cliche AVN where all the girls are your pure Maiden and you dont have to romance everyone just grow up at some point the game wont run away by the time you get 18.
Anyways, great game, Love the Art, music and Story ( not to forget the girls we all know that we're here because they look great).I dont know about the choice thing mentioned at the end its pretty perfect right know imo. Yeah choices are nice but only if it doesent make the story worse there a few AVN's that Suffer from that imo. Ah and not to metnion the peak comedy had me a few times. Im hyped for a new Update like many of us, i hope you dont overwork yourself or get the usual talk to your head (cant pronunce her but we all know who i mean) Stay safe :)
Ps:'hey, that Yamada guy is pretty funny!
Its a shame the Chika hate is what the comment section is filled with because this is a genuinely great game but definitely going to cause some people to turn away because of it
Almsot turned me away but im mature enough to not just judge before even playing it and i tell you i LOVED IT hope the hate calms donw
Anyway, I am back any new to the War?
I think theres bug where the game ask you for name, and I am stuck on it, it didnt appear nor I cant type at all :(
happened to me as well but i just typed it anyways even tho it didn't show up anywhere and then pressed enter.
You are an artist. The characters, the music, the story development, and the way each character feels alive are simply majestic. Whithout a doubt, this is is one of the best games on these plataforms when it comes to visual novels. It´s a shame you had to go through all that shit just because one character, especially considering you can ignore that character if you want to. At the end of the day, it´s your damn game and you do whatever you want whith it. I just know that you will meet and even surpass the high spectations many of us have for the next update. I´m sure that despite the controversy, both I and thousands of others are eagerly waiting for it. So for now, we´ll let you keep cooking.
I actually don't undertand the point of the discussion here. I see people declining to play this avn because there is a character seeming to be a prostitute and additional tag discussion, which is kinda pointless remembering it is an unfinished story? I'm interested in finding out what the most important point in dispute here is. However, there is no question that it is not right how little respect prostitutes get in this comment section and how much hatred the profession receives. Feel free to discuss the avn as much as you like, but unnecessary hate is the limit of your own opinion. Don't be surprised if you are no longer taken seriously.
i did a quick scan through some comments before downloading the game, and i only have a single question: can i just tell the girl to f off (in general, like, not even help her with anything she needs) and not bother me anymore?
if not, then it's my suggestion for the dev to prevent the yappers from yapping and prevent him from stressing out over a pointless discussion
it's quite simple to just add a choice to remove anything, even remotely, related to her to solve this whole situation, because Netorase (where the girl is whored but you still start a relationship with her, that looks like chika's situation after only reading the comments, and is a part of the Netorare genre), can still trigger some past traumas for certain people, just like netori (another part of Netorare), where you're the one who gets the girl, some people cannot handle any kind of netorare
i'll be playing the game, and if i think it's worth it, maybe i'll give it a try and get to know chika's backstory ._.
it's as simple as that
peace
i played the game and i don't think she is actually a prostitute..
during the scene where you can have sex with her as a reward, if you choose no and hug/ or kiss her (i don't remember), she alluded to not having sex, or it having been a long time.
i think it's more of a geisha vibe with her.
like paid companion/ friend/ girlfriend with no sex. i believe she was abused in the past and developed trauma from it.
also don't understand why everyone wants to have every girl, if you don't like her, don't get her.
我只能说这个游戏非常好
I'm new here and i have no idea wtf is going on
Chika (ingame character) is canonically a prostitute and a lot of players are not happy about it. Just play the game, don't worry about the community
Well i was hoping to come back after months of waiting but i seen the comments that there is a prostitute
hell nah bro im outta here
truly a waste,it has such good character design tho
Hello, just wanted to leave my thoughts because I'm more interested now after the latest update than before because these characters have so much more depth than I previously thought. Keep it up.
Also its a AVN I would hope they would have some plot and character development without being afraid so show adult content, rather than some sex simulator or some waifu collecting.
Get a life haters. Sometimes when I read y'all comments it feels like I am reading some brainless creature's yapping who can't differ between real life and virtual life. Go join school again to understand what figure of speech and perspective is, crying aloud for petty things like losers. No wonder half of y'all are bitchless or even worse living life with zero women interaction.
Agree bro, but if you're girl doesn't please you and you run to play sex games that's just sad man.
Bro is typing " it feels like I am reading some brainless creature's yapping who can't differ between real life and virtual life " while PERSONALLY insulting other PEOPLE 😂
Don't judge the character yet just wait for the new update and the story of chika ,we don't even know what will happen next so let the developer Cooked. Let's just wait don't be a toxic..
Just read the wall of text and scanned through some of the comments.
The vn is still at v0.3 so its still early to judge or base it under what people in the comments say, so I will give it a try and will draw up my own conclusion after v0.7
yeah bro, patiently sit over few years and dont tell your opinion.
Usually in this cases is better to tell early if something dosent work so the Dev can take the feedback and change things now that is early .
Not this dev he knows better that all of US yeah..... Also he is comparing a girl having experience whit a prostitute yeah sure whit that logic Milfs dont be the most popular Girls in this type of games yeah
Is not the same sell your ass for money to old guys that have past relationships and have a past sexual live i Hope dev can pull out the stick that he has stuck on his ass and start taking feedback
Hey, that Yamada guy is pretty funny!
Is bro really trying to say past expirience with someone and active prostitute its same? I didnt play game yet, but i like drama around.
Same bro same
Damn. I was gonna try this out, as the characters look great... but thankfully I checked the comments. DEFINITELY not my kind of game or my kind of girls. Good graphics tho. Peace!
There is literally just one girl in the game that is a prostitute, and you dont have to go for her if you dont want to. Hell most of the other girls are virgins.
this game have Chinese translate? owo
有中文翻译
谢谢
We need update:)
Look guys am I the only one who liked the music, memes and anything other then how are the girls I loved all the memes made my day and I hope someone will do a Playlist with the songs I know some of them not all. As for the girls I loved the design and how the development went as of now,and we need to give applause to the endings I laugh so hard and I hope you will do the always.
I hope you read this! I can't wait for what is coming next don't rush it just take you're time and keep us posted
Love from România 🙂
能和永恒世界相媲美的神作，建模很好，感情线比我所玩过的游戏都好，主线虽然到0.3版本有点乱，不过感情线弥补了这个缺点，结尾彩蛋也是其他游戏所没有的
什么时候更新ks
Hey KS, I just wanna say I've been playing this avn of ur from v0.1 and it's really really great. I just thought it might be the right time to write this cuz u said at the end credit that we can share our experience or request u for some improvement that we think are right for the vn. Bt don't get me wrong I'm not trying to say that ur avn has flaws, don't worry ur game has some top notch art design and a really good plot. So there's nothing for u to worry about. And I'm not writing this just bcuz u asked us to share our opinion, I've been wanting to to write this so I can share just how much we appreciate ur work.
And here comes the request part, I just wanna request u some things and that is .....
1. Can u pls add a thin black outline on the letters.... Cuz whenever there's a white background the dialogues became kinda hard to read. Bt if u think this is unnecessary then u don't have to put it cuz maximum time the background is kinda darkish, so it's not really big issue.
2. Secondly, can u pls put something like affection meter in game that show after each choice which girl's affection increase or didn't increase or decrease. U can put it in the top of left or right corner of the screen. It can work as a walkthrough of the game too. I just thought it might be good Idea cuz we'll know that we are on the right path and I don't know why bt I've been missing the galary scenes, there's 5 locked scenes and I don't know how to unlock it.
I'll be greatful if u do this and thank you for reading my long-ass comment.😅
Have a great day.
thank you for this game 🫶🏻
Ok, I just got here... And god damn! What's happening down there? 🤣
Bunch of people surprised there's a well designed character that isn't a perfect princess.
Would recommend they play Pale Carnations and Wicked Rouge. More wholesome games befitting of their preferences, vanilla and all.
Oh! That's funny lol
A well designed character doesn't get bait and switched into a NTR/NTS
Neither of which Chika falls under.
Also her very first (significant) appearance she outright states that she sleeps with Yakuza. At this point she hasn't even met MC.
Did you even play the game?
Bait? She literally tells you she is a prostitute before tou can make any move on her. That is not bait, that is like the contrary of it.
It's funny how creating a girl with sad backstory who prostitutes herself is "well designed character". I am guessing virgins and girls with morals are boring for you given you recommend pale carnations too. Literally every second media or AVN has that bro, you are gonna find more sluts and prostitutes in these VNs than virgins 😂
When I said "well designed" I was more referring to outward appearance. My game recommendations were sarcasm, in case you missed that. They're games about prostitution without NTR. Not trying to criticise the games in any way.
Sure virgins are great and all, but I would think the latter is more important. For all the aforementioned games, all the 'prostitutes' wouldn't be doing that in an ideal world. They're all victims of circumstance. And hey, if that's still not your thing, that's perfectly fine. 90% of the dialogue choices on the Chika route as of v0.3 is literally progress route OR end route. And if her very presence disgusts you that much there's always the exit.
And yeah non-virgins crop up in many AVNs as you say, and surprise surprise, real life too, its not so much about what I find boring or interesting, I was just making a jab at people with unrealistic expectations.
Yeah I have no problem with Chika since it's easy to end her route like I said below in my comment. It's just annoying to see these types now since VNs are filled with them. And again that real life point never made sense to me when discussing fiction because well it's not real life. You got all these types in real life so atleast fck some pure ones in fiction lol
Filled with? My good man it's literally one girl among other six (if memory serves me right) that are the pure ones that you are looking for. If the dev wants to add some variety (that you can totally avoid if you want to) I dont see why is so terrible.
WW 3 😂 😂
Thanks but no thanks
