Zugzwang. Chess. Love. Destiny. All the same things, really.

The King is cornered; the pieces set. You remember telling him: In Zugzwang, there are no good moves—there's only destiny. Play as a murderer, a wanna-be hero, a terrible lover, a boy that chases myth the way dogs chase their own tails. Just remember: you cannot save him, it is too late, and checkmate is all but on the board.

holy shit the visual novel i've been working on with a friend over the past 1.5 years is actually a Thing now. it's possessed me it's Compelled me and you should wishlist it on steam now while we sprint towards a Q1 2026 release date...!
