Causal Effect

Causal Effect tells the story of a college student struggling to reconcile academic expectations with personal interests. Unsure of their goals, they follow the usual path of pursuing good grades, graduating and seeking a job in a field considered to have a promising financial future. After one semester, they have adjusted somewhat to college life but feel unable to keep up with others academically, even when they work harder. Under the pressure of schoolwork, they wonder what to do and discover that many others share their feelings; by chance, they become friends with one of them.

Trace the causes

The central mechanic is to connect events causally by interpreting their descriptions. You make different behavioral choices, observe how event descriptions change and search for clues. You may also need to uncover hidden events and meet specific requirements for the ending events.
