Title: Circum[N]avigate
Genre: Science Fiction Fantasy
Plot: The year is 21XX. Due to a technology restriction, life has returned to rural lifestyle. Amongst humans are gods and spirits, co-existing and interacting with each other as equals. There are also floating cities, which are kept afloat with the power of air spirits. The question is, why is life like this now? What happened to make the future this way?
Because radio, computer and television are outlawed, people called messengers are appointed to keep contact between the floating cities and the grounded cities via floating staffs called ‘cirna’. Mana is an apprentice messenger, along with her childhood friend, Reimei. But lately, the power of the air spirits has become weak. The floating city over Mana’s town is threatening to fall. Tensions become high between both communities, as they’re both at risk to lose their homes. As a result of this, the once peaceful job of a messenger has become a dangerous one.
Will you strive to bring the towns together and replenish life to the spirits?
Or will you neglect your duties and choose another fate?
Mana
The heroine. Mana lives in a small town called Satori. She is an orphan who was taken under the care of an old man she calls Grandpa and is training to be a messenger. Mana is very interested to know more about her parents and their death, but most things about them are kept secret. She’s mostly soft-spoken and sweet, and has an interest in gardening.
Reimei
Mana’s friend since they were young children. Similarly, he is an orphan adopted by Grandpa, who he only calls ‘old man’. Reimei keeps a good presence around adults, but his true side is not very mature. He has lazy hobbies, but when it comes to messenger training, he works hard. Also has a very low tolerance for alcohol…
Haku
Strange boy who Mana meets at the market. He seems to be a tricky type who can tell lies with an honest face, and will steal whatever he pleases. Haku can even appear or disappear at will… causing a lot of trouble for Mana. Though his impression isn’t very good, he seems to have a deeper side to him, and always calls Mana a 'princess'.
Fain
He lives in Ciel, the floating land over Satori. Fain enjoys cleaning and drinking a lot of tea. Mana wonders at times if he’s a narcoleptic, since nearly every time she finds him, he’s asleep… or falls asleep suddenly. Fain is pretty spaced out most of the time, though he has a surprisingly large amount of knowledge.

SCREENSHOT:
Here, have a thing.
This will be a game in which the routes are unique to one another, and even your early decisions can drastically change the course of the plot. The story may end tragically or happily, and not every relationship is guaranteed to end in romance. The true ending will only unlock after several of the endings have been completed.
So... yeah XD
Thanks for looking!
