About the Game

About the Game

Coalescence is a visual novel that invites you into a corrupted facility known as Moniker Labs for a night of festivities, romance, and terror!

Key Features
As you explore Moniker's halls, you'll meet several people who have all been affected by the corporation in some capacity. These unique individuals come from a variety of backgrounds and express themselves in distinctive ways. This makes your dialogue choices very important if you want them to trust you, reveal secrets, help you in your endeavors, or depending on what you find most important; flirt!

Play as one of three characters, each with their own backstory, motivation for investigating, and special abilities to use in dialogue.

Playable Characters
A cunning reporter who will stop at nothing to uncover the truth behind Moniker. With their strong experience in investigative reporting, the Journalist can use the Investigate ability to ask insightful questions that gives more information on the current subject.



A private investigator who’s been pulled into a bigger case than they ever could’ve realized. From their many years on the force, the Detective, a now free agent gone rogue is able to use Deduction to pick up on small details that help get a better picture of the situation.



A scientist who’s been forced into the Moniker conspiracy due to an incident on the job at the very facility under investigation. With their newfound ability, [REDACTED], the Lab Tech aims to stop Moniker’s plot by any means necessary!
