The Azure One

A Wingless Bird: Should It Be Set Free, or Kept in a Cage?

♢Story ♢

Lyle sees fragments of the future:incomplete, unavoidable glimpses.

He’s grown used to keeping his head down, until the moment his eyes meet those of the girl always running on the track. And then, she smiles.

At Municipal Second High, where everyone is rushing headlong forward, a boy who always sees the end too soon meets a girl who is counting down toward her own finish line.

From then on, he notices it—whenever that flash of cyan passes by, he unconsciously lifts his gaze.

And so, one particular future of hers becomes increasingly clear.

♢Characters ♢

Yun Bai

The track team’s ace, a seeded contender for the national championships. Her smile is bright and infectious.

Her running form is beautiful, and she’s fast. So fast her body can barely keep up. It always takes a few seconds after crossing the finish line for her signature smile to finally break through, lighting up her sweat-drenched face.

Natsu Ho

A member of the track team. She talks as fast as she runs, and her laughter can carry across the entire field.

She loves gossip, but becomes evasive the moment the conversation turns to herself.

Her life’s goal is to find someone who will “love her one hundred percent, all year round.”

Sia

Class President of Second High’s Class 2-1. Excellent grades, a sweet smile, graceful manners.

She remembers everyone’s birthday and prepares their favorite flavor of cake for the occasion—never once confusing mint and peach. But her own preferences remain unknown.

Her smile is so lovely it makes her classmates feel it was meant just for them.

Without a doubt, she is meticulous. So meticulous that even the wind dares only to turn the pages of her book neatly, from right to left.

Shigure

A track team member. Unacquainted with most of the team, she often skips practice.

She never seems out of breath when she runs, her form consistently even.

Once, running side by side, she caught a glimpse of Yun Bai’s clenched jaw and straining form.

After that, her name never appeared at the top of the results board again.

Lyle

"...Liar."

"Lyle...? That guy never quite looks at you when he talks. His eyes are always somewhere else."

"Lyle-kun always seems to pick the hardest path available."

"...I can't figure out what that guy is thinking."

♢ Gameplay ♢

An Immersive School-Life Narrative

Step into Municipal Second High and experience a coming-of-age story centered on "foresight" and "the race." Through detailed scenes, dialogue, and inner monologues, the game builds a believable everyday world, aiming to make you feel the emotional shifts and fateful paths of its characters.

Fully Voiced Story

All story content is voiced, from every main character to the occasional passing classmate. Through careful tuning, each character's voice reflects their personality and state of mind, providing a more immersive narrative experience.

Key Choices Determine the Ending

The story unfolds through its natural rhythm, but at critical junctures, you will face three consequential choices.

These are not presented as mere statistics—they will directly decide the story's final destination.

I also plan to release additional DLC story chapters focused on other important characters in the future.
