Syntherapy is Now Available!
After many late nights, were proud to finally share Syntherapy with all of you! From our humble beginnings as a twine demo at Magfest, through a successful IndieGoGo campaign, all the way up to our current release, we have had a lot of people supporting our development. We could not have done this without you, and were grateful for all of you! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1077470/Syntherapy/ As we finally allow players around the world to step into the shoes of Dr. Melissa Park and agonize over the complex decisions the game has to offer, know that this is only the beginning of our journey together. In the weeks and months to come, well be working to keep this game alive and fresh! This will start with a variety of quality-of-life upgrades. In testing, we had a skip button that would allow players to jump through dialogue to get to the next choice. We had to remove this feature before launch because it had a habit of causing crashes, but we will work to put this feature back in soon! We also want to add in a flowchart feature to help you keep track of the choices youve made throughout the game, both in your current playthrough and in all other playthroughs currently on your saved files! Thanks to the generosity of our IndieGoGo backers, Syntherapy was able to launch with both English and Spanish as language options! Because of how weve set up our games spreadsheet system, future localizations will not be difficult to create! If youd like Syntherapy to be translated into a specific language, please message us on Steam or Twitter so that we can get a better idea of what languages should be a priority for localization!

Syntherapy is a visual novel adventure game that thrusts the player into the heart of a challenging psychotherapy case where their choices, both in conversations and types of treatment chosen, will have powerful consequences.
Syntherapy sees you play as Dr. Melissa Park, a psychotherapist called to Petrichor University by research student Tara Northrop. Tara has created an experimental therapy AI that is showing signs for concern.
Willow is so advanced that its creator needs to ensure its mental well-being. Dr. Harold Freeman, the President of the university, is worried that Willow's sentience could have wider ethical ramifications for the university, and has been fighting to have it shut down.
Syntherapy sensitively looks at the ethics surrounding advanced AI, and explores a variety of topics related to mental health. The game asks wider questions of its audience and the moral behavior of humans, as they design and construct artificially intelligent beings.
Syntherapy is not recommended for children, or those who may be affected by such subject matter.
- Challenging and thought-provoking dialogue choices.
- Complex loyalty management system that takes player choices, play style, and topics chosen into account.
- Your choices and how to choose to interact with others will directly affect how the game story progresses and ultimately, the ending.

- Over 37 possible endings!
- Explore a variety of topics related to mental health and mental illness while uncovering the mysterious backstories of all the main characters.
