Years Between Us

Years Between Us is a narrative phone-messenger game that drops players into Chapter 4 as Alex, a husband struggling to save a fading marriage with Julia. The game simulates conversations, calls and a hidden blog interface so players can text, call and scroll Julia's secret posts while investigating leads alongside Alex's friend Chad. Choices you make affect three emotional meters—LOVE, NTS (open-relationship tension), and NTR (jealousy/infidelity)—and steer branching routes where you can rebuild trust, negotiate open boundaries, or watch the relationship fall apart. Players who enjoy character-driven choices and moral dilemmas will find this chapter tense and replayable.
