“Do you still think we get to make a choice? In anything that really matters?”
Urban Green is a romantic visual novel reconstruction. Players will take the role of Jack Sanner, a downwardly mobile, directionless young man who’s just moved to a new city to start a new job at the non-profit environmentalist start-up Urban Green. It’s a chance to finally get his life together, do something that matters with his time. Or, so he thinks…
Along the way, he’ll meet four very different women whose lives have landed them in similar circumstances: the bright and irrepressible Caroline, the cynical and sarcastic Beck, the timid and focused Olivia, and the mature Aaliyah. Jack will work with these women, get to know them, butt heads with them, and potentially, if he makes the right choices, fall in love with one of them. But that’s never the end of the story.
With nine endings to discover, over twenty-five hand-drawn CG backgrounds, a custom-made lofi soundtrack and four full-length, completely distinct story paths depending on the character Jack pursues, Urban Green is a labor of love, and one that we are so excited to share with you. It’s a story for our time, a story about ennui, mental health, and human connection, about getting what you want versus getting what you need, and about having the bravery to live a good life in a world that can often seem out to thwart you at every turn.
The Main Cast
-
![Oranssi founder Drew Weber]()
Aliyah
Age: 30
Birthday: October 28th
Aaliyah is a nurse at a local hospital and Jack’s next-door neighbor. Aloof and mysterious, Aaliyah can often seem like the only real ‘adult’ in the room -- and she parties like it, too. Though she has a nurturing streak, the only thing Aaliyah really wants is to have a good time. After all, she knows better than anyone just how short our time can be.

![Oranssi project manager Jaya Dixon]()
Beck
Age: 25
Birthday: February 2nd
Beck does not want to be here. A true slacker, Caroline’s younger sister would much rather toke up on the roof and complain about the world than do anything resembling working, and if you have a problem with that, she has a middle finger for you. Observant, sharp-tongued and blunt, Beck isn’t the easiest person to get along with. But maybe there’s more to her, somewhere in there, underneath all that smoke and sarcasm and self-defeat. -
![Oranssi general contractor Reese Platt]()
Olivia
Age: 27
Birthday: August 13th
Olivia is the bookkeeper at Urban Green. Numbers make sense to her. People don’t. She’s timid in the extreme, always conscious of saying or doing the wrong thing or crossing some invisible line she doesn’t understand, and always running home when the shift ends to find her comfort in the world of the digital. Maybe someday Jack will follow her into the private world she’s always retreating to… and maybe he’ll get lost in there.

Caroline
Age: 28
Birthday: December 10th
Caroline is the go-getter queen of Urban Green, Jack’s direct supervisor who greets every day with a smile and a can-do attitude. She’s a true believer who always says what’s on her mind, and she’s never met a problem she couldn’t solve by rolling up her sleeves and getting to work. Some might say she takes too much on, but Caroline doesn’t have time to be worrying about that. She’s got a world to save, after all.
