Tomatoes Are a Kind of Fruit

In the fraught aftermath of a breakup, Tom makes an impulsive decision that takes him back to the quirky queer seaside town he grew up in, to reunite with an old flame. From high-school best friends, to first-time lovers, and finally, just two people who keep failing to stay in touch, neither is sure what to call this thing they have between them anymore. Time has changed them both. Do labels even matter?

A queer romance featuring a transmasc hottie. But it's also about how breakups suck. And depression. And chips.

Warning: NSFW. Contains explicitly sexual scenes and also brief mentions of self-harm and intrusive thoughts.

My first visual novel, developed solo for Nikko's Love + Attraction Jam 2025, with some much appreciated feedback from my partner. Go check out the other submissions!

Unfortunately the original story I planned grew so much larger when I sat down to write it, much more than I had time to complete for this jam, so this is more like a first chapter. I plan to continue with the story after the conclusion of the jam. I hope you'll stick around.
