Self-Introduction I’m Pancake, a 2020 grad from a coastal uni. My college dream? Making a game that that mattered. By graduation, all I had was nothing but a rough demo. Years later, [So Long, My Youth] is here: a photo-based visual novel weaving together memories of college life. Each screenshot is a real photograph, each dialogue line inspired by my lovely friends. Maybe I wasn’t born to make games, but I had to prove this piece of youth mattered. [So Long, My Youth] isn’t perfect, but it’s a slice of my heart—hope you find yours in it. 【🎓 To the ordinary college days we all know】 No flashy underdog stories—just honest snapshots of uni life: morning basketball with bros, heated classroom debates, fantastic beaches, community internships. Boring to some, unforgettable to us. Because youth has always been a little bit random, right? 【📸 Unique Art: My Youth Photo Album】 Over 100 in-game scenes are taken from my original photographs. Behind the simple composition and lighting lies raw emotion—framed to tell a story: black-and-white vignettes (reality) → full-color display (memory) → soft-focus freeze frames (closure). 【✍️ Prose Like Water: Years of Polishing】 The entire script is concise—under 50,000 words—but I obsessed over every line. My goal? To craft prose that’s lean, natural, and as quietly powerful as the sea—words that don’t just tell a story, but leave a mark. 【✨Youth/Photography/Visual Novel】 Call it a photo-novel, a digital memoir, or a 'youth diary told in pixels'—heck, call it realism, call it 'that indescribable thing'—labels don’t matter. What does?  So Long, My Youth  is raw, honest, and steeped in the kind of emotions that stick. qq：761420069 email：630042336@qq.com Ps：If a DLL is missing, please run the '缺少 dll 请先安装我.exe' in the folder; if a Trojan is detected, please close the antivirus software before playing the game.
