Punchline!!

Punchline!! is a short, comedic slice-of-life visual novel set in Noo Yawk City. It follows the daily misadventures of a poverty-stricken grifter convinced that outlandish conspiracies surround them, and a stoic, antisocial woman who drinks and feels dissatisfied with her work life.

Nine episodes

The story uses a linear, scenario-based structure rather than one overarching narrative. Its nine mostly self-contained episodes each focus on a situation with a beginning, middle and end, and are all selectable from the main menu from the start. They follow the mundanity of daily life with a comedic twist, as the characters encounter the strange inhabitants of the city and get into various shenanigans.
