Born Again
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Su-jin is a very good girl. She just has a bit of a bad habit.
But that's okay, because this week, she's definitely got everything under control.
And if she doesn't, it's definitely not her fault.
Born Again is a visual novel with around 6k words and around 70 CGs.
The initial version won Honorable Mention during Daydrinking Jam.
It has been further updated for Noise Jam 3, which is the definitive version.
This game is for mature audiences only and may cause eyestrain.
Solo-developed by RailgunRabbit.
Special thanks to Fisher for music and moral support.
Special thanks to Laplace Atelier for GUI support.

really loved this one!!!!!!!!!! the east asian workaholic religious mindset really resonated with me as someone who was raised heavily religious and coped by drinking. i love the ending where su-jin breaks up with her boyfriend. amazing work!
This kicks ass. I love the maximalist visual style used to convey the feeling of things going off the rails, your art is stylish as hell. I also liked using this repressed disaster girl as a lens to talk about the kind of hedonism inherent in daydrinking.
Maybe it's poor form of me to say this unsolicited, so feel free to disregard me entirely, but I don't think there's any need to put yourself down over the "missing" art in the 1.0 version of the game. The art that's in is really good and there's a lot of it! It clearly took a lot of work even as it is, and I don't think it detracts from the experience.
All that said, I hope this wasn't too stressful to make, and I'm looking forward to seeing it finished for noise jam. Liked this a lot, thank you.
Thank you so much! I admire your work, so the praise means a lot to me. Overall, I really enjoyed working on the project, I just kind of crashed there at the end and then felt self-conscious posting it. Now that a little time has passed I feel better about it and I'm ready to get back to work for noise jam. Thank you for playing!
Wahh I'm glad ^^
Played it again after the completed update. Really stellar. The new art is great too, and the added UI styling works well. Good shit.
The use of color and distortion here is so stylish. I really enjoyed following Su-jin's mental gymnastics.
i really like the way this story is structured, very compelling. also love when the art switches from the bright and abstract to the grey
What a fun game, I'm so excited for the rest of the art, too! The music is so atmospheric
love the visuals in this! excited for more art! and jang mi appearance ahhhhh
your artstyle is so strong this is wonderful
