Years Between Us

Years Between Us is a branching narrative game that puts players in the shoes of Alex, a husband racing to salvage a fading marriage with Julia through a phone-messenger interface. The gameplay centers on texting, calling, and scrolling Julia's secret blog while following leads with your friend Chad, forcing difficult choices that move three relationship meters—LOVE, NTS (open-relationship tension), and NTR (jealousy/infidelity). Decisions unlock distinct routes where players can attempt to rebuild trust, negotiate new boundaries, or risk losing her, making this title appealing to fans of character-driven stories and moral challenges.
