About the Game

A 2-Player Game, Played Entirely in Singleplayer

DuoQ is an e-dating sim about romancing another person in an online game. Play alongside Tala, a mysterious stranger met in the fictional FPS game To the Heart. With Tala at your side, you'll solve co-op challenges, learn about her IRL life, and answer the question: is she into you?

Features

  • Talk with Tala using your real voice, with open ended conversations, a rich narrative to uncover, and plenty of flirting to do!

  • Overcome multiplayer-like challenges and puzzles, fully playable in single player

  • Discover collectibles, secrets, and multiple distinct endings

...So is this a Multiplayer Game?

Nope! DuoQ uses voice recognition to track your conversation with Tala, allowing for real time conversations and history. Tala isn't a real person, but using these new technologies, we can tell a new kind of story through the structure of a multiplayer game.

Plus, nothing in DuoQ is AI Generated. We use machine learning to advance the conversation, but we don't use AI to generate voice lines, art, or the story itself. This is a handcrafted game and a labor of love from our team - enjoy!
