Game Details
From the developer
A short boys love / yaoi / gay visual novel about a couple of cousins whose paths cross at a family wedding. They both get a little drunk, emotions run high, and things take a surprisingly steamy turn.
About This Game

Yuel’s life is a mess.
He’s twenty-eight years old, he works a boring office job, and he’s barely scraping by with his limited finances.
Throw in the fact that his wealthy father disowned him almost a decade ago, then died six months prior, and his life really couldn’t be any worse…
Or could it?
After being invited to his aunt’s wedding, Yuel reconnects with his handsome, easygoing older cousin, Tavi. A string of unfortunate circumstances lead Yuel to sharing a hotel room with Tavi for the wedding, and (more worryingly) the same bed.
With emotions running high and fancy champagne in abundance, what will happen next?
The answer: something Yuel will probably regret.
