About the Game

The Sophisticated Art of Friendship: Tales of a Lost Friend Series is a narrtive video game for PC, Mac and Linux. It last about an hour and a half and it is not a traditional video game. We break the fourth wall to bring you this extraordinary story to life.

The Sophisticated Art of Friendship: Tales of a Lost Friend Series is a narrative video game. It lasts about an hour and a half and has no traditional mechanics, no goals or objectives. Instead, you play as Caleb to understand his friendship with Jessica.

What is friendship? Well, according to Wikipedia, friendship is a relationship of mutual affection between people. It is a stronger form of interpersonal bond than an "acquaintance" or an "association", such as a classmate, neighbour, coworker, or colleague. The understanding of friendship by children tends to be focused on areas such as common activities, physical proximity, and shared expectations. Such friendships provide opportunity for playing and practicing self-regulation.

Hi, my name is Caleb and I have such a friend. Her name is Jessica. We have been friends since nursery school. But something happened. Something unexpected. You see we were on a camping trip and that is where we are going to start our story.

As friends, you love each other for what and who you are. You don't require them to be someone else, nor do you set qualifications for them to acquire just for you to be friends. Meanwhile, romantic love has categories. You develop a type, and you tend to settle for a person who hits your checklist.

That is why I wonder why Jessica is with Chris?

Friend love is platonic love. It's a love that means you care for someone, they are important to you, and you are connected to them emotionally, but you do not have romantic feelings for them. Friendly love can also be the love experienced through camaraderie or a connection with people at work.

The Sophisticated Art of Friendship: Tales of a Lost Friend is a first-person narrative exploration game. The gameplay is simple but effective. By breaking the 4th wall of video games, we are showing you everything that lurks around the corner. The player is also directly involved in the story with Caleb and Jessica.
