Steam Store description

Alice is a dreamy girl who lives between the real and imaginary worlds, in love with the wrong person. Just before that situation becomes unsustainable, things change unexpectedly and a new path opens for her and those around her. Short Sad Stories is a visual novel that tells the intertwined stories of a group of young adults, exposed to unexpected dilemmas, misfortunes, and complex romances. A story-rich tale of overcoming, reward, and hope, in which the player must make the most relevant decisions to drive the story. The content has a realistic basis and addresses dramatic situations that may be sensitive to some audiences. However, it's not about pain but about the strength to overcome, the desire to improve and the beauty of life as it is.
