Guest House

An exchange program abroad drops you into a boarding house run by a woman who knows more than she lets on, and what should be a straightforward living arrangement turns into something else entirely. The other tenants each carry their own baggage, and the story leans into slow-build intimacy rather than jumping straight to the point.

The plot follows your day-to-day in the house as relationships with the tenants deepen through conversation and unplanned moments. It's a kinetic novel, so you're reading and watching rather than steering outcomes; the story unfolds on its own path, currently through the first half of its third chapter, with an animated sequence or two along the way to punctuate the quieter scenes.
