Things Left Unspoken is a point and click narrative game about a daughter having lunch with her mother. You play as the daughter, who is trying to say something she has been putting off.

As the mother talks, dialogue choices appear in real time. However, your brain will be riddled with intrusive thoughts (doubts, fears, etc.), that may bleed into the real world. As the conversation gets heavier, these panicked thoughts may overwhelm you. 


Content Warning: This game contains emotionally sensitive themes, including difficult family dynamics and intrusive thoughts. 

Controls: Left click to select a response.

How it works: 

1. Dialogue choices appear while the mother is speaking.

2. Some options move the narrative forward, others are more on the intrusive side.

3. As tension rises, choices become more chaotic.

4. Not choosing a response in time pushes the conversation in a specific direction.

Outcomes: There are three possible endings.

Playtime: ~5 minutes

Themes: Mother-daughter relationships, intrusive thoughts, emotional pressure, and the difficulty of being honest with someone you love.

Known Bug: Dialogue can be unselectable. IF this happens, go to the pause menu and click restart OR main menu and start from there.
