## Description
Everything isn't as it seems in Wellsprings, even secrets have a way of taking on a life of their own. Nothing stays hidden for long - and sooner or later what's done in the dark will be brought to light.

New Hope is a visual novel staring Justin, an 18 year old high school senior with two very big secrets. He is gay, and trying to hold onto his secret until finishing senior year and moving off to college. But when he loses his song book, things take an unexpected turn as Justin begins to message a mystery guy who shares the same secret.

As Justin, you have important choices to make that will shape your friendships and potential love interests. Will you keep your secret at all costs... or trust someone enough to confide in them in your darkest hour?

Being gay isn't Justin's only problem however...
