About
Chris just moved from remote work into the office, and he's put his girlfriend Emily up for an open Project Manager job. The catch is a company policy against employees dating, so the two agree to act like strangers on the clock while trying to keep everything else intact.
That arrangement doesn't hold up cleanly. What's meant to be a simple cover story turns into something harder to manage as work and their actual relationship keep bumping into each other, and every meeting or private moment carries the risk of giving them away.
You read through their days at the company and pick how Chris responds to what comes up, and those choices steer where things go with Emily and how the office situation plays out. It's a text-driven visual novel built around watching a relationship bend under a rule it was never supposed to survive.
Changelog
- This update continues expanding the stats and path system. Your previous choices and Emily's stats can now affect how some conversations play out, unlock different dialogue, and open up certain choices depending on how your story has developed.
- I've also added an info window explaining the current stats and systems, as well as the option to skip the time transition screen with two clicks.
- And, of course, there's plenty of new story, choices, and artwork — including a certain beach day with Emily and Lucy. ☀
- If you've been waiting to continue the story, v0.05 is ready for you now. ❤
- initial zone release
