Across the Grooves

This one is for people who like slow stories with a quiet melancholy, and who want their choices to actually matter. Alice seems to be living an ordinary life until an old record sends her back into her own past and then onto a trip across Europe. You follow her step by step and slowly start to see who she really is. What to expect: - At first, your time goes to Bordeaux and the first strange scenes, and then the plot starts branching off your decisions. - Alice's personality shifts with every choice, so two playthroughs can feel like two different stories. - The hand-drawn art in the style of European comics looks noticeably different from the usual visual novel, and it's a pleasure to look at. - The music adapts to each scene and your mood, so the trip through the cities feels cohesive.
