Thing-in-Itself EN Global Steam Digital Key

Ted and Molly are together. Ted feels a connection to Molly wherever he looks.
But, how do they both really see the relationship? See each other?

Thing-in-Itself is an interactive short story about the struggles of understanding another human being. Using Immanuel Kant s concept as a framework, it leads the player through stages of a relationship, exploring how perceptions may clash and surroundings can alter.

With an average walkthrough time of 15 minutes, Thing-in-Itself is not a game in a traditional sense it doesn t have win or lose conditions and doesn t present challenge to the player.

With this project, Party for Introverts attempts to establish a connection between the mediums of game and short story, reworking the possibilities when narrative and interactivity merge.

Features:

• Short, impactful interactive story that combines the motifs of German philosophy with a theme of modern relationship
• 15-minute walkthrough accompanied by inspired voice acting
• Emotional journey made relatable through casual interactions, dialogue choices and environmental changes
• Original musical score created by Elena Alekseeva
