Game Summary: No One But You is a Visual Novel/Dating Sim about Hideaki, a high school student who has just returned to his hometown, Okutama. Upon returning, Hideaki re-discovers a town he knew from childhood, meeting new friends and reuniting with those he had long forgotten. He resumes his high school life in the big city, quickly adapting to the change in pace, and before he knows it, Hideaki begins to think of this city as his home once more.
Hideaki’s life in Okutama is upbeat and fun, thanks to the many friends he makes, including Megumi, an energetic student council member; Chinatsu, a reserved senior in the literature club; Shiro, an unsociable music-lover; and Yui, an obstinate girl who rarely expresses herself honestly.
Surrounded by an interesting group of friends, Hideaki lives out his days without a care in the world, content to enjoy a normal high school life. Whether he’s going out with friends or studying for exams, his new life is truly peaceful.
But not for long.
As Hideaki’s stay in Okutama continues, ghosts from his past begin to come back, increasingly intruding on the new life he’s trying to build. As if that wasn’t bad enough, his new friends all have secrets of their own, and the more Hideaki involves himself with their daily lives, the deeper into mutual despair he sinks.
Will you be able to put to rest the evils of the past and finally live out the normal high school life you crave? Will you be able to put your friends’ minds at ease, erasing the trauma and misery ruining their otherwise peaceful lives?Because whether you like it or not, for this very task it can be no one but you.

Personally, I’m not a big fan of crowdfunding websites such as Kickstarter and the like. Sure, you might get lucky and back something that turns out to be amazing, but more often than not it leads to developers releasing a half-baked project (if they even bother to release one at all). Such are the risks of […]
No One But You, or NOBY for short, is the result of a successful Kickstarter campaign from Unwonted Studios, an international team headed up by American Kyle Tyner. They asked for a measly $1,300 and received $18,000 in turn. They smashed every stretch goal they put forth, and seemed well-poised to deliver the epic and […]
No One But You, or NOBY, is a Kickstarted visual novel from Unwonted Studies. Despite some uneven storytelling, it’s a welcome addition to the OELVN scene which brings something new and interesting to the table while still being firmly rooted in familiar visual novel tropes. Playtime: 8 hours at a fast reading pace NOBY starts […]
