About the Game

Middle-America, 1999. After a grueling tour that has left them emotionally drained and flat broke, the four members of The New Agenda make it back to their dilapidated home, they have nothing in the fridge, nothing in the bank, and nothing in the future but a whole bunch of questions.

“How the hell are we gonna scrap together next month’s rent?” the drummer, Tommi, asks the group. “Well maybe we’d have some cash if we had an album to tour,” says Dom, lead guitar and vocals, “When is Nik going to finally finish writing something?” Nik shouts back from the kitchen, “I’m WORKING on—” but Tommi cuts her off. “How are we supposed to book a show if nobody ever wants to practice?”

They’re still after an elusive full-length album and they can't even survive a band practice without tearing each other apart. Just when they thought things couldn’t get worse, a supernatural event dubbed “the Feedback” plunges them all into a twisted alternate reality.

In LOVESICK, you assume the role of Sam, the band’s bassist, as he navigates the strange environments imprisoning his bandmates. With each surreal mindscape reflecting the memories, fears, and ambitions of the person trapped within, he is the crumbling band’s last hope. It’s up to Sam to piece together the mystery behind the encroaching Feedback, determine what lies ahead for The New Agenda, and find his bandmates before they're swallowed whole by their own troubled minds.
