Our take on Dandelions in the Sky
Rather than building its school setting around broad exploration or extended gameplay, this visual novel concentrates on a short, choice-driven narrative about bullying, reputation, isolation, and a protagonist forced to reconsider his promises.
What is Dandelions in the Sky?
This 2–3 hour visual novel follows Shi Mo, a transfer student whose rumored history of seriously injuring a classmate causes others to fear and avoid him.
At school, he encounters Ran Xiaoyu, a sensitive girl isolated by her classmates who retreats from the classroom to avoid attention. Shi Mo’s sense of justice and tendency to act rashly draw him into events beyond his control. The story centers on bullying, hidden pasts, difficult promises, and a choice that changes his path. Players read through the school-life narrative, make decisions, and reach different endings. The presentation includes high-resolution character artwork, background music, and a simple story about the two students’ strained circumstances.
