Visual novel: Support Group
Visual novel: Support Group places you in the middle of a weekly group therapy session where a handful of strangers open up about the moments that weigh on them. As you listen and respond, the way you speak matters — a soft question can pry open a locked memory, while a blunt comment might close someone off for good. Every conversation is a delicate dance, and the group’s atmosphere shifts based on the trust you build or lose. The story unfolds through branching scenes, revealing hidden layers of each character over time. No two playthroughs run the same path, as your choices steer the group toward harmony or leave tensions simmering. With a focus on listening as much as talking, this interactive tale rewards patience and emotional awareness, letting you witness how small gestures can ripple through a shared space.
