Overview

Angst is a story-driven visual novel for players who want a slow, emotionally charged relationship drama rather than a lighthearted romp. Its tone stays grounded, focused on discomfort and intimacy in equal measure.

Story

Claire and Miles are a married couple whose relationship is tested when Miles reveals a fantasy of sharing his wife with other men. What follows is a shared experiment that neither of them fully controls, one that surfaces jealousy, insecurity, and the strain of choosing honesty over comfort.

Gameplay

Players move through the couple's story via dialogue-driven scenes, watching choices ripple through Claire and Miles' trust and communication as their arrangement unfolds. Renders and animated scenes carry the emotional beats, with the pacing built around conversation and consequence rather than open exploration.

Features

Rendered 3D scenes paired with animated sequences to carry key moments
A narrative centered on jealousy, trust, and emotional fallout rather than casual encounters
Dialogue-heavy pacing that keeps focus on the couple's relationship

Installation

1. Extract and run.

Claires Hotpast Special
If you've played part 10 of Angst, no matter which branch you ended up in, you would know that this was coming.
Claire's Hotpast is a linear (non-branching/kinetic) visual novel (VN) that takes place in the world of Angst. It is an anthology, where each part features Claire sharing with Miles one instance of her hot past.
The VN is linear because making a branching story about the past would lead to so many canon events that could potentially break Angst itself or increase the scope to a point where I will not be able to do justice to it.
While the VN itself is linear, you as the viewer have one decision you can make - whether you want to view the events in the current timeline as Claire narrates the events to Miles or if you just want to view the events of the past.
You will be able to rename all characters as with Angst so that you can carry over name changes from Angst to Claire's Hotpast without breaking immersion.
