Tell It Slant

About

Tell It Slant is a visual novel where your choices reshape a story about friendship, loss, and the price of fitting in. You navigate a fragmented narrative where every decision branches into new possibilities, forcing you to question who you are and who you’re being told to be. The game’s structure loops back on itself, letting you rewind and replay key moments to uncover hidden layers. Sparse dialogue and shifting perspectives keep the plot ambiguous, pushing you to piece together the truth from contradictory accounts. Developed by Butterfly Rocket Studios, it leans into a circular design that rewards close attention to small details. The lack of traditional combat or action mechanics focuses the experience on emotional tension and moral ambiguity. Early access builds from the team behind previous narrative experiments, showing strong potential for players who enjoy figuring out stories through repetition and reinterpretation. Set for PC and Mac launch on September 30, 2024, it’s a single-player journey with no clear answers.

Storyline

You aren't sure where you are--though you have been here before--or who the stranger in front of you is--though they insist you are old friends. Are you what they claim? Or is there something else lurking beneath their version of the truth?
