Screen

About

Screen is a narrative-driven game built around text-based storytelling. You follow the life of a college student reconnecting with their younger sister after years of separation following a tragedy. Most of the experience involves reading dialogues, monologues, and descriptions against static backgrounds while making occasional choices that shape the story. Character illustrations and music unlock as you progress offering glimpses into relationships and emotions. The pace is deliberate focusing on quiet moments and family dynamics. The game stands out for its raw emotional core and understated character writing. KID's signature style of blending personal drama with subtle visual details shines here even without elaborate gameplay. While short by modern standards the 12-hour runtime packs a resonant story about grief and connection. A small but dedicated fanbase has preserved its music and art through remasters over the years.

Storyline

You and your younger sister, Maiko, lost your parents in a traffic accident. The two of you have since lived with your relatives at the country side. Five years later, you graduated a high-school and returned alone to Tokyo to attend college. Your two-year younger sister came to Tokyo two years after you, hoping to attend the same college as you do.
