On Distant Shores [v0.12] May 2026

A middle-aged man attempting to crawl out of a "personal hell" of loneliness and guilt.

Second chances, processing grief, and the weight of "terrible choices" that impact those around him. Version 0.12 Development

As an early access project (v0.12), the game is being released incrementally. Players typically find these updates on platforms like Patreon or Itch.io , where the developer provides: New story chapters and character interactions. Updated artwork and character sprites. Bug fixes and performance improvements.

This game is distinct from the Choices: Stories You Play book titled Distant Shores , which focuses on a time-traveling pirate adventure.

Something from the past wants to keep the protagonist trapped, even as new friends offer a brighter future.
