How We Show Love

January 1, 2022.

The morning after a small but rockin' NYE party, Saoirse checks in with Orlaith in what she hopes will be a nice talk over hot cocoa, but it's clear something is bothering her old friend. Waltzing around the real issue isn't going to help here.

How We Show Love is a short visual novel under 3k words that was developed for Winter Jam 2021, but was submitted afterwards due to unforeseen illness.

Content Warnings: This game discusses mature themes involving COVID-19, politics, strong romantic feelings, and a passing mention of suicidal ideation. No explicit imagery is included.
