Reach for an Angel

"A promise made under the petals of the past, kept in the silence of the present."

Palliative - Reach for an Angel is a poignant, linear kinetic Visual Novel that explores the thin line between holding on and letting go. Experience a story about a transfer student, a girl who refused to be defined by her illness, and a football rivalry that became a lifeline.

The Story

Yuu, a transfer student seeking a fresh start, finds himself drawn to the mysterious and gentle Nana at a local 'Halal Mart'. Their bond grows over shared snacks, whispered conversations in the school library, and a solemn Pinky Promise under a legendary sakura tree that blooms later than all the rest.

But as the seasons shift from the warmth of spring to the harsh reality of winter, a devastating secret is revealed. Nana is in palliative care, fighting a terminal battle with Stage 4 Ovarian Cancer.

When the world wants to treat her like a "glass doll," Yuu must learn what it truly means to love someone who is fading: not by mourning them while they are still alive, but by celebrating every "Normal Tuesday" they have left.
