Talk To Me [DEMO]

✧✦Talk to Me is an interactive novel (Twine) created for the 2026 Amare Game Festival. The full version will be around ~15k-20k words, with plenty of variety in the interactive events and character routes. This demo will feature the first 2 weeks, and an introduction to the 3rd week (where the game gets more difficult). 

✧✦ Another future goal is to upgrade the project into a full visual novel using Ren.py but I am a solo college student “developer” at time of writing, so no promises~

Synopsis

You play as Kyrie, a college student roughing out the coldest months of a new year. Between difficult classes, content creation, and other necessities, they might be on the verge of a generational crash out. Your goal is to balance the various aspects of Kyrie’s life and their wellbeing. 

Maybe that new star icon on their browser could assist them too like everyone else. Or maybe there is a friend or two - or something developing beyond that for one of them - and other resources Kyrie can use to get through the rough patch. Either way, what is the worst that can happen over these relatively “small” tribulations of young adulthood?
