Incelthread

About

Incelthread is a visual novel following a pair of reclusive hikikomori navigating their complicated relationship. One half of the duo is a bunny girl, the other a human guy still adjusting to life outside their shared online spaces. Their plan to prank forum users with risque photo edits takes a backseat to deeper issues, namely their inability to live together and unresolved trauma from past experiences. The story unfolds through dialogue and branching choices, balancing awkward humor with moments of genuine emotional weight. What sets it apart is its focus on mundane yet strained intimacy. The characters feel like real people bumbling through adulthood, which grounds the more surreal elements like a talking rabbit named Tonya. Early access reviews from Rabbit Hole Team’s Discord hint at sharp writing and relatable friction between digital and real-world relationships. Launching in 2025 on PC and Mac, it’s a quiet character study more interested in stilted conversations than dramatic twists.

Storyline

Guy is planning a meeting with his girlfriend to use their shared photos to prank board visitors with provocative posts. They are both hikikomori who enjoy hanging out together, but circumstances prevent them from living together. Having been traumatized by their past, they must go through a difficult journey of adapting to a new, still unfamiliar life.
