Over The Hills And Far Away is a heartwarming and emotional visual novel, the first title released by WarGirl Games.
The War of 1812. Northwest Frontier. William Aubrey, a rogue redcoat of the once-glorious 41st Regiment of Foot, is on the run. Wounded and tired, he seeks shelter during a thunderstorm inside an abandoned barn. But when he gets there, he finds he’s not alone. A young Shawnee girl, named Mai, is hiding from the rain too. Bleeding out and not wanting to brave the fierce winds outside, Aubrey decides to put up with her until the rains let up. But will their accord outlast the storm; when both return to the bloodshed and the outside world?

A sad but great visual novel and one of the better ones I have read so far. It pulls you in with an amazing atmosphere [spoiler] and then breaks your heart in the end :([/spoiler]4 found this helpful
Enjoyed the story and happy to write a positive review. Nice writing, artwork, and simple sound effects. Just enough occasional character movement to visually break things up, Music was also well done and flowed with the story. There are no player choices, you just read the short story from screen to screen. Took me about a few hours. The game badges are outstanding. Best wishes to the developer.
It's a visual novel in its most basic form, no choices or brances, just a linear story from start to finish. The presentation, from music to cg art, are pretty good. Recommended to finish this in a single playthrough.
A cute/sad story about a solider and a child, when the past comes back to bite you ten years ago, things dont go so well. Story takes around 2-3 hours to finish Very good game, i do recommend this game 8/10
It was an enjoyable story that provided some insight into North America's history and Native American culture. The narrative was brief, which limited character development, and there were no choices to make throughout the game. The visuals were nice. Overall, it was a solid visual novel.
Short but (bitter)sweet VN. About 3 hours long, with a unique and rarely used setting of early 19th century america. Worth it for the price.
