Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

Waking up in a field off a 2-lane highway isn't the best start to anyone's night. Especially when you don't have a single clue how you got there to begin with. Unfortunately, it's what Alec has to deal with tonight. It's cold, the wind's bitter, and he simply can't remember what happened earlier in the night. It must have been something big. At least he finds a bus stop for shelter, but given it's a bus stop, he's not the only one there waiting. Alec has two choices before him. Ignore the stranger's attempts to converse (he could be a serial killer, after all) and wait for the bus, or engage him (what else is there to do stranded at a bus stop) and see what happens. The choice is yours. --- The Morning Star is a short Boys' Love Visual Novel featuring 10,000 words of moving story, gorgeous hand-drawn graphics with 11 full illustrations, and 3 endings with various changes depending on what Alec has found out about his circumstances. Content warning: May not be appropriate for all ages. Contains mentions of suicide, swearing, smoking, and alcohol references.
