The Last Bus Home

THE LAST BUS HOME

A quiet, emotional visual novel about the people who ride late night bus on route 19.

OVERVIEW

The Last Bus Home is an atmospheric narrative experience following Dara, a night-shift bus driver doing his best to hold his life together one trip at a time.

Each night, passengers step on with their own lives in motion — stories shaped by exhaustion, humor, worry, loneliness, routine, and quiet hope.

Your choices guide moments that ripple gently through Dara’s route:

• who opens up
• who retreats
• what Dara becomes through these nights
• and what “home” eventually means to him

A story about empathy, boundaries, small kindnesses, and the invisible weight people carry with them long after they leave the bus.

FEATURES

• Eight narrative episodes (Demo includes the first three) 
•  Choices that shape relationships, trust, tension, and the quiet ways people open up
• Passengers who feel real — tired, hopeful, guarded, distracted, trying their best in their own way
• A bus that becomes a world, changing with snowfall, silence, routine, and the late-night city
• A soundscape built for atmosphere rather than drama
• Multiple emotional outcomes, shaped not by big twists but by the softness of small decisions
• A story about empathy, limits, and finding meaning in the middle of ordinary nights

Snowfall. Bus lights. A quiet route in motion.
