Independent Horizons [v.0.2.0] [SwampyStudio]
The main character of this game is a 20-year-old man named Tom. He was an orphan and was fortunate enough to be adopted by a middle-class family, Mr. and Mrs. Cruz, when he was just 3 months old. After officially adopting Tom, Mrs. Cruz took a pregnancy test, and the result was positive! The couple was overjoyed and very grateful to Tom because he was a lucky child. That’s when Tom gained a childhood friend named Pauline. Even though they are not connected by blood, Tom can find happiness in having a complete family to call his own.
The couple loves Tom and Pauline equally, and Tom is grateful to them for giving him another chance at life. Nevertheless, Tom is driven by a desire to uncover the origins of his biological family, to learn if they are still alive, and to find out whether he has any siblings. Determined to find them, he embarks on the search, even though he has no idea where to begin. Meanwhile, he juggles his quest with the need to continue his studies and secure a part-time job. This way, he won’t have to rely on Mr. and Mrs. Cruz for money. Simultaneously, Tom desires independence, now that he has reached legal age.
Mrs. Cruz may not have liked the idea initially, but she eventually realizes that Tom is an adult who needs to live on his own.
