This VN is specifically made for "O2A2 VN Jam 2022" which has the following limitations: "Only One of Any Asset" and 1000 word limit.
I targeted the one CG rule in place of sprite and background.

Format: Hidden Object Game, Interactive Fiction, Visual Novel, semi-kinetic story with one ending.

Genre: Thriller, Science Fiction, Cyberpunk, Horror (mildly creepy atmosphere)

Themes: Mental Health Commentary, Creative Struggle / Writer's Block (this game is NOT meant to be read as an accurate depiction of therapy and medical/scientific knowledge)

Content warnings: Medical procedure, display of unhealthy behaviour, little bit dark, poverty references, frequent random screen shake & fade in the last level.

Game Description:

Overarching narrative about a back-alley therapist and their patient who is a struggling writer. With 3 mini-game levels:

> Point & Click section: find object(s) within the illustration. There is a timer and unique 'stage obstacle'. You can try again many times with no progress lost. 

> Microfiction: each object tells its own 100-word story.

Engine:

This is built in Unity with Fungus. The game is missing VN features that are normally expected in Ren'Py.

> Read the in-game Help for the Controls.

> No volume controller 

> Save System: Only one save game. Works on autosave and no manual saving. (Recommended to quit game when you return to the title screen or you may skip over story parts). The location of the save file is described here: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Application-persistentDataPath.html
