Finding Cloud 9

Finding Cloud 9 is a slow-burn, story-driven adult visual novel centered on a college-aged male protagonist whose summer takes a dark turn when he is coerced into drug production to protect those close to him. As he navigates both a normal life and escalating criminal involvement, relationships, desire, and money begin to distort his moral compass. The narrative explores temptation and escalation—each choice pushes him toward either maintaining his sense of self or becoming someone who justifies anything to survive. The sandbox structure allows player agency to shape whether the protagonist finds his Cloud 9 or loses himself chasing it, with branching story paths based on intimate relationships and moral decisions.
