It’s 2989. Global population: 10,000,000 and falling. The final golden age has ended, and nobody cares. You are Sheridan Swan, an engineering prodigy-turned-waitress, currently on parole. Your days are spent at Room and Pillar, your restaurant-prison, selling counterfeit designer goods when you’re not taking lunch orders or arguing with the automata chefs. Arcology Security hasn’t caught up with you yet, but they aren’t the only ones watching. Serve your sentence, or choose a different path. XVTM is a visual novel with light gameplay elements and branching story paths. Talk to people, robots, and even your reflection. Play microgames to deliver food, hack into protected systems, and lift weights. Visit luxury hotel suites, outdoor plazas, and empty shopping malls. Experience a world past its expiration date, and the characters within. Your decisions help shape the story, whether it’s choosing what to have for dinner, how to spend your free time, or the best way to get information from someone who doesn’t want to cooperate. In conversations, microgames, or in the world itself, what you do can have consequences later. Remember, you always have options. An immersive, dying world of machine magic and hyper-luxury A branching narrative, where your choices, good or bad, follow you Microgames for different activities, both criminal and mundane Some explorable environments and locations Multiple story paths, each with unique activities and endings A minimalist aesthetic based on vector games of the 1980s Secrets and dark corners that shouldn’t be disturbed The future is not for the faint of heart. XVTM contains occasional explicit content that some players may find disturbing, offensive, or uncomfortable. Only persons 18 years or older are allowed to play. XVTM is a handcrafted experience made with love and care by a solo developer. Your feedback will help guide development, and is always welcome on the forums.
