Monologue Winter melancholy — unfolds as a visual novel, enveloping the reader in a realm of internal conflicts and aspirations, shaded by melancholy yet holding the promise of a brighter future. This narrative revolves around a despondent individual marking the new year in solitude, serving as a poignant reminder of the significance of compassion and the impact of spreading kindness. Indeed, within the shadows of isolation, a festive occasion can transform into a formidable challenge for those lacking assistance and support. The storyline unfolds through the protagonist’s introspective musings, recollections of past New Year’s celebrations with loved ones, and an optimistic anticipation of change in the days to come. The stroke of midnight becomes a pivotal moment for the protagonist, a chance to derive meaning from solitude and chart a course toward personal happiness. On the night transitioning from December 31 to January 1, our protagonist finds himself alone in his modest apartment.
