Goodbye Boy

Goodbye, Boy is a reality-based multi-perspective narrative game. On the eve of Typhoon Khanun in 2012, a boat off Nantian Island never made it to dawn. Seventeen-year-old Zhou Yu died that night, and those who survived each kept their own version: some wrote it as a memorial, some buried it in medical records and agreements, some pressed it into a memoir, and some went fourteen years without saying the boy's name again. Fourteen years later, a survivor now called Lin Wu returns to the island to work on Jiang Lan's memoir project. She isn't there to help anyone finish a graceful farewell — she's there to make the shipwreck be spoken of again. You'll enter the perspectives of seven key figures — Zhou Yu, Lin Wu, Chen Yun, Zhou Yan, Su Jinghong, Uncle He, and Jiang Lan — piecing together seven versions of the same event across a study, a clinic, a bar association hearing room, an old kitchen, a small pier, and the sea on the night of the storm. 【What You'll Experience】 • Multi-character route narrative: each route offers a different stance and a different way of concealing • Choices leave echoes: choices won't cheaply rewrite fate, but they change who speaks first and who stays silent • A reality-based ensemble: shipwreck, trauma, legal responsibility, writing, and public narrative all entangled • Cool-toned East Asian visuals: old house, sea, life raft, lighthouse, clinic, and a stormy night • Fully offline single-player: no network, no tracking, no third-party SDKs; saves and settings stay on your device 【For Players Who】 • Enjoy visual novels, story-driven games, and multi-POV ensembles • Like narratives where truth isn't a twist but conflicting testimonies • Are comfortable with themes of death, shipwreck, traumatic memory, and adult moral responsibility This work is entirely fictional. It draws inspiration from a real weather event but does not allude to any real person, organization, or specific incident.
