Momo Don't Leave

Momo Don't Leave is a psychological horror visual novel about nostalgia, burnout, grief and fear of the future. Near the end of university, Momo is overwhelmed by job hunting and deadlines, so she returns to her rural hometown to catch her breath.

The road back is nearly empty, the bus driver barely seems human, and her phone offers no comfort. Momo tells herself she is tired and stressed, until she sees Chia, her childhood friend, waiting as if no time has passed. As Chia leads her through old streets and forgotten places, the town begins to recognize a version of Momo that no longer exists.
