About
A pair of glasses that record every social interaction, handed to you by your best friend and startup co-founder, lands right as your relationship with your girlfriend stalls out short of where you want it to go. The tone stays grounded rather than winking about it.
You're caught between a loving but sexually stuck relationship and the sudden ability to watch and use everything going on around you. The choices you make about that footage and those temptations decide whether your company thrives or whether you burn down what you and your girlfriend built together.
Play consists of steering that decision between fidelity and temptation through dialogue and choice points, with the story branching based on how far you let yourself go. One thing is settled from the start: whatever happens, it stays between you, your girlfriend, and whoever you choose to bring into it, since the game rules out cheating-partner infidelity content entirely.
