VNGame — Iron Hollow PoC

Run

Open in Ren'Py launcher → Run.

What to test

1. Play straight through (no checkpoint) — see all 3 base branches.
2. Create a checkpoint → pick "To find something worth doing" → Rewind. Watch the teal wash and Luno's linger beat afterward.
3. Explore 3+ branches, then the 4th unlocked option appears.

Missing assets (Ren'Py will warn but not crash)

• game/images/bg training_yard.png
• game/images/sara neutral.png, sara pained.png
• game/images/luno curious.png, luno amused.png, luno neutral.png, luno soft.png, luno tilted.png, luno still.png, luno laugh.png, luno sharp.png, luno linger.png

Any placeholder PNG renamed to match works fine for testing.
