## Description
Share your hopes, insecurities, and favourite albums as you navigate an online friendship between two isolated high school students. 

Brandon is a recent transfer at his high school, having been torn away from his friends and hometown upon his parents' repatriation to Hong Kong. Rejected by his peers in his new environment and struggling to adjust to his parents' home country, he openly vents his frustrations on his blog for the world to see.

Sam (renameable) is a born-and-raised Hong Konger with an eclectic taste in music, who spends most of their time lamenting the lack of warped tour dates in their local area. By chance, Sam comes across the blog of Brandon, who loves all the same bands and lives in the same town...

so obscure; is a visual novel played through the interface of Sam's computer, where the majority of the game's story is told through a series of chat conversations.
