Hillside: Part One – Fractured Lives

A character-driven adult visual novel about power, protection, and the past that never lets go. Hillside: Part One – Fractured Lives is the first chapter of a two-part story set in a glamorous yet rotten town at the heart of the entertainment industry. You play as a world-weary military veteran turned bodyguard, hired to protect the daughter of Charlotte Lloyd—a world-famous supermodel whose success has made her untouchable and dangerously exposed.

What begins as a straightforward protection job draws you into a web of corruption and quiet menace that controls the town from the shadows. To keep Charlotte and her family safe, you’ll have to confront powerful enemies—and your past. Hillside is a Hollywood-like city where image is everything and silence is survival. Influence is traded behind closed doors, careers are built or destroyed overnight, and certain figures operate far above the law.

• Suzi Lloyd – An elite university swimmer with Olympic ambitions; fearless, dominant, and unwilling to back down.
• Emma Lloyd – A shy fashion design student, sheltered and uncertain, dreaming of success in a brutal industry.
