Close Connections

Close Connections is a 3D visual novel for players who like slow-burn drama with a photography backdrop. The mood stays grounded and personal, with tension building through everyday pressure rather than spectacle.

Story

At eighteen, you move to the city with Emma, your older companion, to build a future in photography and audiovisual marketing. Money is tight and the work is harder than expected, and as the days pass, the closeness between you and Emma shifts under the weight of financial strain, late nights, and unexpected online attention. What starts as mutual support gradually turns into something less clear-cut, testing where support ends and attraction begins.

Gameplay

Play unfolds as a dating sim told through a day-by-day structure, where choices at key moments branch and later converge back into the main story. You spend time behind the camera and around the apartment, watching relationships shift based on the decisions you make. Early sessions introduce a paid photography job that ties income and intimacy together, framed through a custom interface and short animated scenes.

Features

• Custom UI built around the photography theme
• Branching dialogue choices that reconverge into a single ongoing story
• Animated scenes alongside static 3DCG art
