About the Game



You wake up sitting across from a beautiful stranger.

"There is nothing I want more than to talk to you right now."

And so you talk.



Locke(d) is a short, mysterious and atmospheric visual novel with brief point-and-click segments.

  • Linear visual novel
  • ~3000 words
  • 10-30 minutes of reading

The game was originally made within 2 weeks, and was heavily inspired by a passage in John Locke's "An Essay Concerning Human Understanding".
