What begins as a morning like any other — a yawn, a stretch, and a quick splash of water to wake up — comes to a screeching halt when our young protagonist greets her dad on the couch. But wait. That's not her dad. Who's this strange man lounging on the couch like it's his? Should she run? He certainly does not act dangerous…but should she be afraid? Why is he telling her to "take her medicine"?
Seek answers to myriad questions as a young girl in the midst of life-altering circumstances, and discover the identity of the mysterious man in place of her father.Shed light on this mysterious man and progress the story through a series of interactive events echoing the girl's formerly monotonous, everyday happenings. Unravel a contemplative, captivating tale complemented by high-contrast, hand-drawn cartoon visuals.
"My goal was to keep players guessing until the very end," says Yona, solo developer of And Roger. "Many thanks to the immense support from Kodansha Creators' Lab and those who provided demo feedback. It's an honor to bring And Roger to multiple platforms, and I look forward to everyone experiencing the full story later this month."
