About the Game

DUET is an interactive story illustrating the Hifuu Club's first encounter. It is a wordless, narrative-driven experience about connection, small moments, and the quiet magic of two lives intertwining.

Renko Usami lives a simple life, endlessly cycling through studying, eating, and sleeping at university. She gazes at the starry sky alone, trying to fill the emptiness in her heart. Then, one day, Maribel Hearn appears—a girl who seems to have stepped from beyond the boundaries of the world...

Features & Content:

  • Wordless, Interactive Storytelling: Experience Renko & Merry's subtle yet fateful daily moments through a series of light, meaningful interactions.

  • Handcrafted Atmosphere: Immerse yourself in lovingly crafted hand-drawn visuals and a gentle soundtrack that enriches the story’s warmth.

  • A Delicate Story to Explore: Step into and witness Renko and Merry's encounter that intertwines their lives. Catch the quiet warmth hidden like a butterfly in the stillness of their shared world.

  • Short, Sweet Experience: DUET is crafted to be completed in a single sitting. It invites you to slow down and enjoy a calm, quiet, and heartfelt experience.
