Hi everyone!  Borealis back again!

As you may know, we recently celebrated World Mental Health Day on Oct 10th, and it tied in greatly with the themes of Venus: Improbable Dream.  Our protagonist, Kakeru, struggles hugely with anxiety and depression, and I created this visual novel partly as a medium through which to highlight the importance of support for people who go through mental health issues.  I can't deny that, while I don't suffer from anxiety myself, I've definitely projected some of my own feelings about depression into Kakeru's inner monologue that you see in the game, so I'm hoping that Kakeru can be a character that many people can relate to, which will make for a powerful, heart-warming experience when they watch him grow and improve throughout the story.

In other news, I'm going to be posting some future dev logs that will reveal a lot of inside information about the conception and development of Venus: Improbable Dream, so please stay tuned for them!  They'll feature all kinds of things, taking you back in time to 2016 when this all begun, and giving you a front row seat to the process I went through to bring the story to life until the present moment!  There'll also be a lot of inside information about characters, music and more.  Can't wait to share it all with you!

In the meantime, look after yourselves and be happy~!
