Duplicity :: Extended Demo Ver.

!!! This game is intended for adult audiences only !!! 18+ ONLY !!!

Welcome!

This project is still in development, and it's a solo project, so it will be slow-going at times. Please consider donating to support my efforts (❁´◡`❁) I will link my socials and ko-fi at the end of the page.

***Rollback will be disabled for this VN because every choice has a consequence!

:: Info!

You play as 20 year old V Sawyer (name is customizable), a struggling writer living in a one bedroom apartment. You work at a secondhand bookstore run by Magdalene Smith, a woman who is more of a mother to you than your actual mother ever was. For three years, she and you ran the bookstore by yourselves until she hired Dell Franklin, a grumpy 20-something that only seems to get along with Mags, and possibly you.

It is here at your work that you meet 25 year old Griffin Wells. He's everything you've been looking for; tall, cute, and into the same things you're into!

However, strange things start happening to you, things that suddenly involve your young upstairs neighbor Sophie Graves, your best friend Tris Solis, and even your co-worker Dell. Things that start to make you question if there may be more to Griffin than he's letting on...

Will you be able to figure it out and keep your friends safe?

!!!CONTENT WARNINGS!!!

This demo **CURRENTLY** has: blood/mild gore (right in the menu screen!!), mentions of past childhood abuse and trauma, mentions of bodily fluids, stalking and breaking and entering, mild on the anxiety right now.

The full game will feature the above including: obsessive, possessive, and otherwise unhealthy behaviors towards other people, potential NSFW scenes, and lots of anxiety.

A note to players: when finished, this game will be intended to provoke feelings of panic and anxiety. This may not be entirely obvious in the current demo version, however, if you are prone or sensitive to anxiety and/or panic attacks, I urge you not to play. 

Examples of this will **eventually** include: constant demands for your attention, constant switching between screens (a little bit of this is CURRENTLY in the demo!!), high-pressure situations where you WILL need to remember previous choices you've made, quick-time reactions, etc. 

:: Demo Features!

~10k-ish words, about 30-45 minutes of gameplay

~Customized GUI

~Music, sound effects

~At least 4 characters to get to know and love

~Very choice-heavy. Choices will have consequences, even the ones you don't think would.  (This is more of a full-release feature, not so obvious in the demo)

Notes: All backgrounds are just lines with a filter or a placeholder image. These will be finished in the full-release. CGs will also be added in the full release or a future demo build!
