Saves you a refund- Players seeking extensive gameplay systems, combat, or a long campaign may find the experience limited

- Players who prefer to avoid mature themes involving sex and intimate relationships may not be a fit
Our take on Cibele
The intimate, true-story framing may suggest a broad relationship simulation, but the experience is a short, linear narrative built around desktop exploration, chats, films, and an online game setting.
What is Cibele?
Follow Nina, a 19-year-old woman whose connection with a man from an online game becomes increasingly intimate through calls and private messages.
The story unfolds across three acts, with play moving between the game world of Valtameri, Nina's desktop, conversations with friends, and aspects of her daily life. Her desktop changes as the narrative progresses. Multiple short films provide additional glimpses into Nina's life, while Valtameri includes several maps, illustrations, and music. The game is based on a true story and is intended for mature audiences. A full playthrough takes about 1. 5 to 2 hours, with the game recommending a single sitting and headphones.
