A downloadable story for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android

ParaBEN is a conceptual romance visual novel set in a hi-tech, solar-fueled future. It's about how the relationships of our past influence our present.

Ben is developing technology that helps patients and therapists. It accurately replicates a personality and its mannerisms using information fed into the algorithm. Ben's boyfriend, Jesper, offers his diaries and vlogs to help him test the technology. The wolf meets with a younger version of his ursine boyfriend, and learns much more than he intended about the struggles he faced in his youth...
