Sidetracked (komehara, FirahFabe, Marionette)

This game is a submission-to-be for NaNoRenO 2020.

Sidetracked is a visual novel about getting one thing done in the course of a day. The main character keeps getting distracted by numerous related and unrelated events, and it's your role to keep her on track... or at least handle the problems in the least complicated way.

Current release is still a beta, feedback is welcome! If you find this from the DevTalk+ Discord, you can send me your feedback via DM. Otherwise, you can comment below, but please start you message with the current game version indicated both near the download button and in the About page from the title menu (e.g. "v3.0"). This will help me track feedback as I improve the game over time.
