About This Game

...What if the only person who saw you as human was someone you invented?

In Make Her Real, a short (~30 minute) psychological horror visual novel, you follow Mor, a twenty-year-old inmate who has spent years in isolation after an infamous school tragedy.

His only remaining friend brings him a humiliating joke gift... A faded body pillow of Imi, a heroine from an old romance visual novel they used to play together.

Then Imi starts talking back.

She listens. She cries. She remembers things Mor never told her... Things nobody should know.

As the months pass, Imi becomes the only person who sees Mor as more than the worst thing he may have done.

Then Mor's release is approved...

Key Features:

  • Short but impactful psychological horror visual novel, with each playthrough lasting around 30 minutes.

  • A focused narrative about isolation, public judgment, guilt, parasocial comfort, and whether love can be real when one person exists because the other needs her to.

  • A confined correctional setting whose cold institutional spaces gradually shift as Imi becomes more real to Mor.

  • Choice-driven progression that shapes whether Mor moves deeper into Imi's reality or accepts a world capable of contradicting him.

  • Three distinct endings.

  • Original ambient soundtrack built around fluorescent hum, metal doors, distant vehicles, and decaying traces of a forgotten romance.
