Garden Hose

After telling you that they are polyamorous, your partner leaves for a week-long work trip. While you wait for them to get back, you go about your life: work, uni, the long wait for a parcel. But with this new perspective, maybe you will be able to connect to people in a brand new way...

A visual novel dating sim with a focus on polyamory! Made for PolyJamorous 2024 :)
