Hikari: First Interlude

A sci-fi dating sim visual novel set in a post-apocalyptic galaxy where most of humanity has been wiped out by the Loci, a devouring alien swarm. You play as the last surviving member of the Guardia (once-mighty knights), marooned on a dead world and rescued by Sasayaki, a rogue princess with her own agenda. Your journey unfolds aboard the MFV Aquilla, a cargo ferry controlled by a ruthless Captain who enslaves its crew—including your two main companions: Tsuki, an undead servant bound to you by necessity, and Hikari, a mysterious woman whose origins remain unknown. The game is a branching narrative where your choices determine your relationships and fate. Multiple story paths allow you to pursue different characters romantically, engage in group dynamics, or face darker NTR-focused outcomes. The core gameplay revolves around dialogue choices, relationship building, and unlocking intimate scenes tied to affinity levels and story decisions. Combat and negotiation sequences also play a role as you navigate the Captain's schemes and attempt to free the enslaved women aboard the ship.
