The Assignment

The Assignment is a visual novel for players who want a psychology-flavored corruption story with a slow, personal edge. The tone stays introspective, leaning on mystery and manipulation rather than shock value.

Story

A psychology freshman at Halden University is given a research assignment by Dr. Marlowe: study the effects of sissy hypnosis. What starts as coursework quickly becomes something he can't keep at arm's length, as the partners he chooses to work with begin shaping who he is. Underneath the assignment lies a wider mystery about the university itself, one he uncovers piece by piece as his choices push him toward or away from his old sense of self.

Gameplay

Players read through the unfolding story and make choices about which partners to trust and how far to let the research go. These decisions steer the protagonist's transformation, affecting his relationships and how much control he retains over his own identity. Progress is built around dialogue and choice rather than exploration or combat.
