Our take on May
Rather than keeping slice-of-life scenes separate from major conflict, May places Yun’s ordinary routine beside a life-threatening medical crisis and suspicious circumstances, blending everyday drama with mystery, mystical elements, and romance.
What is May?
Yun’s daily life changes after his friend Max reaches a life-threatening condition.
With the doctors offering little support and circumstances seeming suspicious, Yun must try to help Max through the crisis. May is a visual novel with adventure-game elements, combining everyday-life scenes, mystical drama, romance, and boys’ love themes.

Additional secret content becomes available after completing the main story, alongside romantic scenes.
