Our take on Syntherapy

Rather than centering a conventional hero's journey or combat loop, the game makes psychotherapy the main structure. Progress comes through conversations, treatment selection, and managing loyalties, with the central case focused on a sentient AI instead of a human patient.

What is Syntherapy?

Syntherapy is a story-driven visual novel adventure about Dr.

Melissa Park, a psychotherapist summoned to Petrichor University to assess Willow, an experimental AI showing possible mental health problems. Sessions involve selecting dialogue and treatment approaches, while choices influence relationships, story progression, and the ending. The game explores AI ethics, human responsibility in creating artificial intelligence, mental health, and the histories of its main characters. A loyalty system tracks decisions, play style, and chosen topics. Players can select music while planning sessions, and the game includes over 37 possible endings. The subject matter is not recommended for children or people who may be affected by it.
