About

Welcome to... Chichester 2: Part II - No Regrets For the Future is a visual novel that blends personal drama with mystery. You play as someone caught in a toxic friendship with Grendel Jinx, a flamboyant, self-centered character with a habit of causing chaos. The story kicks off during a forced holiday, where awkward conversations spiral into revelations about a past filled with betrayal and unresolved anger. Through dialogue choices and branching paths, you navigate tense exchanges, uncover hidden motives, and piece together how a series of misfortunes led to a near-breakdown. The tone shifts between biting humor and heavy emotional beats, framed by illustrated scenes and a slow-burn narrative. The game stands out for its sharp character writing and nonlinear storytelling. The push-and-pull dynamic between the two leads feels authentic, even when the plot veers into absurdity. Hidden secrets and multiple endings encourage replayability, though the pacing can drag in some sections. With a runtime of about four hours, it’s a compact but memorable entry in the visual novel genre. Players who enjoy character-driven stories with moral gray areas might find it compelling.

Storyline

Taking place on the second day of the protagonist's holiday, who wakes up with a nasty headache, which is not helped by the presence of the protagonist's "nemesis" - the megalomaniacal, kleptomaniac and cake mix loving Grendel Jinx. Whilst waiting for breakfast to be served, talk to turns to how you both met and eventually the conversation veers into a period where your budding "friendship" was nearly permanently severed. Suffering a string of defeats by Grendel, following by an unauthorised beating by her bodyguards, the protagonist's time is spent in the local hospital wondering what went wrong. Eventually coming to a very undesirable conclusion, the protagonist's secretary is tasked with finding out whether the protagonists' supposition is correct or not. Meanwhile, Grendel gets news that her bodyguards have been killed, and with all evidence pointing to the protagonist, she sets out for revenge.
