11 itemsAbout the Game
"Relieve" describes two ordinary lonely souls who approach each other for comfort, try to enter each other's perspective, express and seek understanding. They see each other like a colorful palette. There are no ups and downs in the story, no unforgettable emotions, just the communication between two ordinary souls, which is the throbbing, hesitation, anxiety, happiness and sadness that you and I have experienced.
We do not promote, identify or think about certain values to players, and there will be no discussion about the greatness and redemption of love. Just trying to amplify each of the resonant and emotional moments in life. Just like people fall in love not for purpose, but because they are immersed in infinite details and feelings.
The game adopts horizontal and vertical perspectives to represent the male protagonist and female protagonist respectively. The two-line narrative jointly piece together the complete appearance of the story. With excellent audio and video performances, I hope to bring you an immersive experience. If you can give it to this anxiety-filled world, It would be an honor to bring a little touch and thought to you who are working hard in this fast-paced era.
