Shattered Dreams: Redemption [v0.4] [Nebula Dreams]

Overview:
Once a young basketball prodigy destined for the NBA, your dreams were shattered by an injury.
Three years later, living with your gambling-addict father and bouncing between dead-end jobs is pushing you further into a suffocating situation with no way out in sight.
But your uncle gets you a job at a renowned music entertainment agency, giving you some room to breathe—until a encounter with a pressured superstar threatens to turn your world upside down.
You will be immersed in the city of Brookside, where you will discover the stories and characters that inhabit it—for better or for worse.

Developer Notes:

What is Shattered Dreams: Redemption?

Shattered Dreams: Redemption is a visual novel intended for adults, focusing on its story and the various branching paths you can explore. While sexual content is present, it’s not the game’s main focus.

There will be plenty of it, but don’t expect to play a character who fuck every character he meets after two minutes of play.

Your choices will truly impact the story—they won’t appear every 20 lines, but when they do, make sure to choose wisely! Update by update, you’ll begin to see the consequences of your decisions.

Above all, I hope you’ll be forgiving if I make any mistakes in English.

I understand it well, but it’s not my native language, and I’m doing my best to deliver a well-written story.
