Overview
HugSeeker is a 2D visual novel dating sim for players who like family-focused adult drama with an uncomfortable, confessional edge. The tone stays personal and a little raw, more about need than romance.
Story
A 19-year-old boy craves something as basic as a hug, but the only people around to give him one are the three women in his family, each with her own issues and boundaries. When they treat his need for affection as an annoyance, he starts looking for other ways to get close to them, some sincere, some manipulative, none of them clean solutions.
Gameplay
Play unfolds as a linear visual novel, moving day by day through conversations and story events with the three main women. Player choices shape how the protagonist pursues affection, through kindness, pressure, or manipulation, and these choices steer the story toward different branching routes and outcomes.
