Most love stories don't start with two people that are practically on the other side of the globe. They don't start with video games that aren't multiplayer video games. And as far as I know, there aren't any that start with a newspaper in the kitchen on a Sunday morning.
Ariza has found someone she loves. She might not realize it at first, but it's inevitable. This is a short story that establishes how exactly this happened... admittedly, it's a bit abridged, but she did make this in about two weeks, mostly over a single weekend. Give her a break.
THROUGH THE SCREEN is a short (~30 minutes) autobiographical visual novel about a dorky girl who writes fanfiction who falls for a dorky guy who also writes fanfiction.
There is one ending. This is more of a kinetic novel than a true visual novel game, but this IS my first game. I do hope you enjoy.
The game is completely free, simply because I made this in about a week-- truthfully, it took me a little over one weekend to complete.

ARIZA
The protagonist of the story, and also a huge dork who writes Minecraft: Story Mode fanfiction.
The guy that Ariza has fallen in love with, and a guy who writes amazing fanfiction. (No, seriously, his writing skills are much better than Ariza's.)
A very friendly girl who helped bring the two together... and who also is extremely eager to support Ariza and Toni's budding relationship.
Don't mind him being angry all the time, he's actually quite nice. He doesn't have much of a role in the story, but he is there and he definitely is worth mentioning.
