Online @ The Perfect Time

"With your exams coming up faster than you imagined, you needed to let off some steam and whilst waiting for take-out you stumbled on what seemed to be a new show. Soon enough you were diving head first into a new fandom. Will your heart be steady enough to embrace these new relationships or will the stress of it all cause you to make choices you wished to forget?" 

///

It’s the mid 00’s, everything is going well! Until it’s not, until you’re stressed and overwhelmed with the realisation that university is over soon. Hopping on the procrastination train is the best option, you take a breather from assignments and relax, I mean it is getting late and you’re getting really hungry. You stop on a show for a few minutes, but wait, it’s? actually good? That doesn’t usually happen..but I mean it couldn’t hurt to watch right?...

….

Online @ the perfect time follows you, a student in their final year of university, overwhelmed with what’s to come afterwards. After stumbling across a new anime, you decide to search the web for something more, anything, to elevate your stress and continue this train of procrastination.

Nothing is thought of it at first, until you meet a group of new friends who are more welcoming than you could’ve ever imagined. This visual novel explores friendship, romance (hopefully) and a whole lot of 00’s dumbassery.
