Choice-driven mystery VN about an 18-year-old's forgotten night
StashlyVN Review
New Life Project by Nota Bao is a Twine-based choice visual novel that opens with an intriguing premise: your character, an 18-year-old high school student from Riverton Heights, celebrates her birthday with friends and wakes with no memory of what happened that night. The game tasks you with uncovering the truth behind the blackout while managing the practical demands of daily life—rent, a job, social connections, and your existing relationship.
As a text-based adventure with over 1500 images, the game emphasizes narrative branching and player agency. Your choices shape how events unfold, influencing your character's relationships, financial situation, and the central mystery itself. Nota Bao has structured progression around conventional life systems (money management, mall visits, promotions at work) that anchor the narrative in a grounded, relatable setting. The adult content is baked into the story rather than segregated; expect explicit scenes woven throughout the mystery and character interactions.
The game is currently in active development (v0.8.8), meaning content expands regularly for supporters on Patreon and SubscribeStar. The HTML5 format ensures broad compatibility across devices. If you value narrative intrigue paired with mature themes and don't mind incomplete content with ongoing updates, this offers a substantial experience. The developer maintains an active Discord and Twitter presence for player feedback, which shapes future builds.
