Seven years of marriage, two children, and a year-long separation have left Maria and you stranded in emotional limbo. During a secluded coastal retreat meant to rekindle your bond, a storm unearths a time capsule you both buried years ago—a haunting collection of letters detailing forgotten dreams and insecurities. As you confront past ghosts, a charismatic bartender with a knack for reading souls challenges your efforts, blurring the line between therapy and temptation. Maria’s guilt and your suppressed resentment manifest in surreal dream sequences where you relive pivotal moments: her flirtation with the trainer, your absenteeism in Germany, and the unspoken fantasies you both buried. The vacation becomes a labyrinth of vulnerability, where every conversation and intimate encounter either mends fractures or deepens them. Will you rebuild a marriage that’s authentically renewed, or craft a performative facade that ultimately shatters?
Gameplay
1. Emotional Resonance Dialogs – Navigate conversations using a "Tone Wheel" that balances logic, empathy, and desire. Overuse one approach, and Maria withdraws; blend them to unlock repressed memories.
2. Parallel Timeline Minigames – Replay key marital moments (e.g., childbirth, fights) with altered choices, but each change creates "echo consequences" in the present, like sudden storms or distrust spikes.
3. Kink Exploration Puzzles – Assemble fragmented clues (lingerie tags, playlist lyrics) to deduce Maria’s hidden desires, then propose scenarios that respect her boundaries—or push them.
Key Features
1. Dynamic Trust Ecosystem – Maria’s posture, eye contact, and silences evolve based on your choices. Miss subtle cues, and opportunities to reconnect vanish.
2. Environmental Metaphors – The resort physically transforms: a cracked balcony railing mirrors relationship instability; calm seas post-intimacy reflect temporary peace.
3. Shared Memory Vault – Collect and combine artifacts (old photos, voicemails) to unlock bonus scenes revealing Maria’s unseen struggles during your absence.
Pro Tips
1. The 7 PM Rule – Initiate serious talks only after 7 PM in-game; Maria’s guard lowers at night, boosting honesty rewards.
2. Guilt Leverage – Reference her past infidelity sparingly—use it once to unlock a pivotal confession, but twice triggers irreversible defensiveness.
3. Storm Sanctuary – During thunderstorms, suggest outdoor activities; Maria’s fear of lightning will make her cling to you, temporarily maxing trust meters.
