Transforming First Time Experiences is a short, adult-oriented visual novel that places players in the shoes of Mell, a lonely raccoon spending Valentine's Weekend wondering about love and whether he'll ever ask someone out. The game pairs character-driven storytelling with a sudden science-fiction twist when Mell's selfish wish to understand true love is answered by an alien abduction. Players read a focused ~8k-word narrative, make a handful of meaningful choices that lead to different endings, and follow a quirky meet-cute with a bird—this is intended for mature audiences (18+) and includes nudity and fetish themes.
