One Year In

One Year In is a narrative-driven dating game that puts you in the role of Steven as he tries to revive the spark in a one-year relationship with Vivi after a rather reserved first year together. Players navigate conversations, make choices and lean on a small circle of friends to introduce new situations and rekindle chemistry, making the experience appealing to fans of character-focused, choice-based storytelling. One Year In focuses on emotional beats and personal interactions rather than fast-paced action, offering an intimate story that invites multiple approaches to reconnecting the couple.
