No Other Medicine

No Other Medicine is a short visual novel (roughly half an hour) created for the 2017 TyranoBuilder Spring Game Jam, with the theme of "fresh starts". It's about the potential beginning of a new friendship between Jess, a lonely and awkward PhD student, and Sybil, a snarky and sarcastic former student of the same university. It's mostly linear with a few dialogue choices, and contains a small amount of strong language and references to violence. I hope you enjoy it! Feel free to comment here or in the LemmaSoft thread if you have any feedback for me.
