Reviews

“This indie game has a brilliant modular dialogue system.”
PCGamer

“Although the range of options can sometimes seem only subtly different, it is this subtlety that makes the game brilliant.”
Game Rant

“Its reply-construction adds meaningful and thoughtful pause to a mechanic which is normally rushed through in other VN games, and here’s hoping that it will be adapted to future examples in the genre.”
Screen Rant

About This Game

In We should talk, you'll use the sentence spinner to piece together modular sentences in response to the in-game characters. Choose your words carefully to express yourself as you discuss ongoing problems about life and romance with Sam, your in-game partner, over text messages, while also chatting with friends and strangers at your favorite local bar.

The combination of words you choose impacts the conversations you have, how genuinely you can connect with your partner, and whether your relationship can survive the night. It's up to you how you respond—depending on how you communicate, you'll see one of many possible endings.

Personalized Choices:
Using the sentence spinner, make choices that connect with you. Countless options abound—be yourself, or role play someone you never thought you could be.
Unique Characters:
Your night at the bar is more interesting thanks to all the unique people you encounter. Find your healthy balance between chatting with your friends and keeping up with the texts from your partner at home.
Different Paths:
Your choices drastically affect the way folks respond to you, leading to one of many different paths in each conversation. Will you be accommodating, flirty, stand-offish, or somewhere in-between?
Multiple endings:
Play again and again to find all 9 possible endings. Conclusions aren't based on a specific path or route the way many traditional narrative games branch, but instead the endings are based on the tone your responses express throughout the game. What do your relationships look like at the end of the night?
Realistic conversations:
Experience the emotions that come with real conversations, whether it’s the the joy that comes with teasing a friend, the anxiety that comes with a heavy text message, or the frustration of navigating a touchy conversation with a creep. Express yourself as clearly as you can and hope that your conversational partner understands, though there's always a risk they might interpret your words differently than you intended.
