Keyframes

Keyframes is an amare visual novel about a second coming-of-age, the fleeting nature of relationships and the effort it takes to understand and empathize with others. Each chapter is shaped by the events you play and the choices you make.

Shape your story

You play as one of four personality types, and can change aspects of your personality as the story continues. You can build close friendships, grow distant from particular characters, bring new people into the story or pursue romance. Your decisions and the combination of events and experiences you choose shape an intricate system of impressions, so playthroughs can differ in hundreds of ways.

There are five possible events, and you play three of them in any order, creating 60 possible combinations. Each event has at least one CG, with variations based on your choices. Dialogue and narration also respond to events you have already played.

Relationships and choices

Your perceptions of other characters are shaped by your choices, while their impressions of you change in response to your words and actions. Quick-time events add further variation through both input-based sequences and timed choices.

Phone and presentation

An in-story phone lets you choose events and text or call other characters. The game also features partial voice acting and original BGM.
