Yoshida
“I waited with Nakamura at Nakano station, as a Azusa limited express shot past in a white blur.”
“I’d seen a suicide before, in Tokyo.”
“People had been taking photos on their phones.”
“Would I end up like that body I saw? Bloodied…”
“…unrecognisable…”
“…shirt fluttering as the wind gusted down the tracks.”
On a chilly October morning, Kyushu Heavy Industries Inc. Fukuoka Office Sales Coordinator Osamu Yoshida steps out in front of a E233 series Chuo Line train and prepares for the end.
This is just the beginning of his journey.
Grappling with an existential crisis, Yoshida finds his life coming apart at the seams as psychological disturbances flood in. Can he trust his wife? Should he come clean about that drunken mistake ten years ago? Does a good salaryman give his life for the sake of society? And why is a sex doll talking to him?
Yoshida: A Salaryman Simulation is a visual novel designed in the Ren’Py engine and written and illustrated by Matt Durrant.
