A stranger is in the room where her father should be—. "and Roger" is an interactive novel that lets you see through the protagonist's eyes—whether what she sees makes sense or not. It is comprised of three chapters and can be played in its entirety in about one hour. • Notes before purchase This game is a work of fiction. However, it depicts certain uncomfortable aspects of reality. We suggest that you only play this game when you feel confident that doing so would not overwhelm you. If you ever feel overwhelmed while playing, please prioritize your well-being and take a break. • Story It's just another morning for this young girl. She wakes up and starts getting herself ready while shaking off the sleepiness like always. Except something, somehow, feels off. When she steps into the living room, she expects to find her dad preparing for work. Instead, she finds a stranger sleeping on the couch. The man wakes up, looks at the girl, and sighs. Ignoring her confusion, he mumbles to himself with a hint of sadness in his voice. "It's really time to get ready." Scared, the girl runs. She must leave the house. She doesn't know who this man is or where her father has gone. Walk alongside her on this twisting, twisted path and see where it will lead her. Recommended for you if: • You want to enjoy a bittersweet and moving story told through game-unique expressions • You love analyzing the story through character dialogue and direction • You want a short but deeply immersive, movie-like experience • You're looking for an adventure game (visual novel) with simple controls and no complex actions

Somewhere in the Southern Ocean, a wrong number reaches you. It's Elena — alone, dismasted, taking on water, and you're the only line she has left. QUARANTIÈMES is a real-time interactive story told entirely through messages. Elena writes to you as her situation unfolds, hour by hour. You don't control her directly — you reply, you advise, you decide what to believe. And you wait, because the sea keeps its own time. Notifications bring her voice back even when the app is closed, so the story lives alongside your day. Your choices shape her decisions, her trust, and how the night ends. There is no single path and no guaranteed rescue — only the weight of what you told her to do. • A slow-burn survival story, message after message • Real time: waits, silences, and messages delivered in the background • Multiple endings driven by your choices • Rewind to a past decision and try another way • No account, no ads, no data collected — everything stays on your device • Available in 8 languages Free to play, start to finish.
