Lena is a chronic runaway who, on a whim, asks hitchhiker Aster to travel with her.

The best part of befriending mysterious strangers? It doesn't matter what you're running from. The worst part? You have no idea what they're running from.

In Lena's truck, with a paper map, Lena and Aster drift along the northern seaboard. From town to town, distraction to distraction, they each desperately try to avoid their pasts and their inevitable futures.


No destination, no plan, and no looking back.


Lena and Aster is a serialized text-based game about runaways, rituals, and what it means to endure something you can't control. The first episode — the prologue — is available for free, and the rest of the story will be released as its ready. 

To play the next episodes as soon as they're out, watch this page and follow me on itch or on twitter.

I really enjoyed the way that the text transformed by clicking certain options or even hovering over some of the notes. I also always appreciate playing a Lena type character. I hope that you continue work on this!
