Kinesse is a quiet game about paying attention to people, one sitting at a time. Meet a small cast: a chef who hasn't cooked for anyone since his restaurant closed, the college roommate you lost touch with, the new neighbor two doors down, the engineer you've been asked to mentor, the regular at your café. Each sitting is a coffee, a ball over the fence or an evening in a test kitchen. They talk; you choose what to say back. NOTICE, DON'T WIN • Every line carries a tell: what someone keeps returning to, what they skip past, what they're really asking. • Choose a reply that shows you heard it, and that insight is pinned to your notebook. • Stars are for what you noticed, never for charming anyone. There's no meter to fill and no one to win. • Faces soften or close as a sitting goes; no number tells you how it's going. PEOPLE WORTH KNOWING • Eight people, each with three chapters of their own story, opening one at a time. • Every relationship is a friendship, a mentorship, a neighbor or an old connection. No romance. • Morning, afternoon, evening or late at night: each sitting has its own light. • Each person has a theme of their own, and gentle haptics for the moments that land. YOURS TO KEEP • Make your own card with the same portraits the cast wears. • A notebook keeps everything you've learned about each person, chapter by chapter. • Revisit any sitting and try a different reply. QUIET BY DESIGN • About ten minutes a sitting, and playable with one hand. • No ads, no accounts and no internet connection needed. • Optimized for iPhone Duo, folded or open.
