This story is unbelievable. And sadly I mean that in the literal sense here. None of the characters feel like actual people. Everyone's just a bit too exaggerated to be believable. Every single characters core trait is exaggerated to a point where they don't feel like characters, they feel like vessels for drama and excuses for sh*t happening just to progress the story or create more drama. While yes, obviously people are never perfect, I think the constant setups in this VN about the way people interact with each other is so far removed from reality that it becomes difficult for me to actually root for anyone. It's so difficult to believe that Marina would be that stupid and that forgetful. (Also, really? "Nickel" being corrected to Quarter by Amber because she doesn't understand what 1/4th of something is??) The scene where she screams to not be treated "like a f*cking child" is not even believable because she's done nothing but ACT like a child for the entire game. It has no weig...

We've also remastered the soundtrack for a better listening experience, touched up the art for a better viewing experience, and added a Chinese translation for a better Chinese reading experience. The bug fixes are numerous, the improvements are vast, and the full changelog can be found in the announcements section.
About the Game

Highway Blossoms is a short yuri kinetic novel set in the American Southwest. After an old gold rush miner's journal is discovered, supposedly detailing where he hid parts of his stash, a nationwide craze begins as would-be prospectors try to solve its clues and strike it rich.
Amber couldn't care less. Wandering the desert in a recently-inherited motorhome, she mourns the loss of her grandfather - indifferent and unaware of the hunt happening around her. It's not until she meets Marina, a young hitchhiker lost in New Mexico that the girls get swept up in the rush.

- At least tens of words, maybe even hundreds. Although the last word count puts it around 90,000, so expect 6 or so hours of reading.
- Grand, hand-painted vistas of actual landmarks in the western United States, all in glorious 1080p detail.
- A huge soundtrack featuring the works of Smoke Thief, Jake Abernathie, Able Kirby, and other friends of the team. Sounds right at home on your in-dash cassette tape player.
- Accessibility options for days, including the ability to skip through everything in less than five minutes. But who would wanna do that?
- Achievements, although to be honest, they might be stretching the definition of "achievement."
- Alternate silly content for second readthroughs that was written by the programmer with little to no oversight. This may or may not have been a good idea.

User Reviews
Wonderful lil story! The dynamic between Amber and Marina is fantastic and seeing them grow together in their misadventures was a lot of fun and real charming. Mostly a light hearted and fun adventure with some good tension here and there, can be a little rough around the edges a couple places but overall loved my time with them!
