About this game
After leaving his hometown to live with his divorced father, our protagonist returns to his roots for college life. But college is more than just classes—it’s about navigating new experiences, forming lasting relationships, and facing the consequences of choices that will shape his future.
Campus Bonds is a slow-burn romance visual novel that follows the journey of a college student navigating relationships, personal growth, and the complexities of choosing the right path. With 7 unique love interests, you’ll experience deep emotional connections, but ultimately, you'll have to choose one to pursue exclusively (though cheating is an option if you prefer).

Update on Episode 4 - Campus Bonds News
Episode 4 is complete!This episode has been a massive undertaking, easily the biggest one yet, and I've poured everything I've got into it.Over the past couple of months, I've grown a lot as a developer, pushing myself not just in terms of art, but also storytelling, pacing, and character development. With this, we're one step closer to wrapping up Season 1, and that feels surreal, just one more episode to go.Don't forget that sharing the project, mentioning it to friends, or spreading the word online really helps us grow more than you know.For now, just enjoy this picture with Tracy.Read full article on Community Announcements (mcvisualnovels)Patch NotesOfficial
NextFest Update.
I've made the decision to opt out of this summer's Steam NextFest. After thinking it through, I realized that Campus Bonds just doesn't have the visibility yet to stand out in such a competitive window, and having just one shot at a NextFest I didn't feel like wasting it.This also means the Early Access version won't release on Steam until October, when the next NextFest rolls around. It wasn't an easy call, but I genuinely believe it's the right one, both for the game and for my own sanity. Rushing into it would hurt the project's long-term potential, and I want Campus Bonds to launch with the strongest momentum possible.The good news? This gives me more time to refine things, to grow the community, and to plan a smarter launch. I'll be putting a lot more energy into marketing and polish over the next few months, and hopefully by October, we'll have way more eyes on the game and a bigger wishlist count to give it the push it deserves.What does this mean for you? Development continues. The game is still being worked on, Episode 4 is in active progress, therefore you won't be affected by this (unless you really wanted the game in early access on Steam).Read full article on Community Announcements (mcvisualnovels)AnnouncementsOfficial
1 Year Anniversary - Campus Bonds
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45546529/5ee8e4649fe4ba82472d65fb179308a46281016e.png One year ago today, on April 29th, I released the first episode of what would go on to become Campus Bonds! Since then, I've come a long way as a developer, and I'm glad that I can make people happy with my game. It's truly one of the best things that's ever happened to me, and I'm thankful to be working on such a project. Let's take a quick look back at what we've accomplished in just one year (excluding the original episode): Two full episodes released, with a third currently in development. In a single year, I managed to create 3823 static renders and 173 animations, numbers I'm absolutely looking forward to beating next year. Implemented new features and systems to expand the gameplay experience. (Quick Time Events, Affinity Spectrum system, Quest Tracker and more). Improved visual fidelity, lighting, and animation smoothness compared to Episode 1. Campus Bonds now contains over 5 hours of engaging gameplay and storytelling. Beyond the numbers, I'm genuinely proud of the growth we've made. It might sound like a cliché, but I never thought I'd get to where I am now. What once started as a simple idea has now turned into something special, and I'm blessed to be given such an opportunity. I can't wait to show you my ideas, my visions, and what Campus Bonds can become. So, to wrap this up: thank you for being here, for enjoying Campus Bonds, and for supporting this journey. Thank you, to those who have been here from the very beginning, and to those who joined along the way. I hope you'll still be with me a year from now, as we celebrate even more milestones together. Love, MCVN. (PS: For now, enjoy this little sneak peek of Sadie.)Read full article on Community Announcements (mcvisualnovels)AnnouncementsOfficial
