How To Talk?

Loneliness can become a barrier that makes social interaction feel intimidating and unfamiliar. Over time, prolonged isolation may erode social confidence, turning even simple conversations into stressful experiences and creating a cycle of anxiety and disconnection.

This project aims to transform those social challenges into an interactive learning experience by translating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) principles into a visual novel–style social simulator. Through conversation-based gameplay focused on listening, sharing, and reading social cues, the project provides a safe, low-pressure space for players to rebuild confidence and practice the skills needed to form meaningful real-world connections.
