The Warmth Between Us

It is late December in Taipei. The pavement glows like silver under the winter rain. That's when we met for the first time. The warmth between us has a certain comfort that I’ve never felt before.

About the Game

Story Background

It is late December in Taipei.

The pavement glows like silver under the bone-chilling winter rain.
With the coming of the New Year, we met for the first time.

Our beginning was nothing special. It was ordinary, yet, so unaccounted for.
However, I couldn’t help but let myself drown in this warm but distant vibe.

Her shadow, her every move and sensation piques my curiosity.
The warmth between us has a certain comfort that I’ve never felt before…

About The Game

  • A visual novel containing 60,000 words, with 6 hours of gameplay.
  • 10+ beautifully-illustrated CG artwork

This is a story about the warmth between people.
It was a simple act that brought us together but became a life-defining moment, affecting the choices we make.

Our relationship cannot be described as friendship or love. Rather, it is built upon the support and warmth we share with each other.

It is...a simple act of intuition.

From the Developer

Hi, I’m Nine, an indie game developer from Taiwan.
I’m slowly but steadily realizing my dream by creating more and more stories.

Along the way, there have been many obstacles,
and I’ve become confused by the road ahead of me.

However, that is why I can feel the warmth radiating from the people who have supported and helped me along the way.

That’s why I want to share these emotions with everyone.

I will continue to create more stories about ‘warmth’.
I hope that they can resonate with you.

If I’m able to do so, then I have fulfilled my purpose.
