End of the Line

About the Story

A grieving bear is taking a short stay at an old fishing cabin, hoping to reel in one final trout during a winter holiday. In his despondent isolation, however, he meets someone new who may rekindle that spark he's been looking for.
Will he get his colors back, or will his world stay faded and gray?

This visual novel is NSFW and viewer discretion is advised due to:
- Nudity
- Mentions of substance abuse
- Mentions of self-harm and/or suicidal thoughts
- Death/Grief

The project was made by a group of friends, with the main goal being to see what we could create for the jam while stepping outside our regular spheres where possible. We have artists doing sprite art for the first time, writers writing a story that isn't their own and different ways of working.
