"Can I still love someone after what happened?"

Ash is finally meeting his online partner for the first time on Valentine's Day. The only thing that's stopping him from enjoying this date is himself, as years of past trauma from his past relationship uproots itself.  Ash fights his inner voice as he tries to see if he has the capacity to love someone again.

Faults of the Past is a linear visual novel developed for Nikko's Love + Affection Jam 2025. Sprites provided for the Game Jam were used in the development of this visual novel.
