Waiting on the Finishline

Overview

This is a Chinese visual novel from DreaMory Game Studio. It features over 30 beautiful CG illustrations, full Chinese voice acting, and a youth-oriented story about pursuing dreams.

Story

The game follows Xia Han, a transfer student who dreams of becoming a professional race car driver but lacks the funds to even experience a go-kart ride. Every Sunday he watches others race from outside the track. One day, Chen Yiyi, a top student from his class, emerges from the go-kart facility wearing a helmet and tells him: "I want to shine like you."

The narrative explores themes of dreams versus reality, friendship, and romance - asking whether it's worth trying even if success seems only 1% possible.
