About Lingering
Lingering is a story game about the Heart Breachers, an organization that protects humankind from harmful manifestations of emotion. Each burst of feeling contains an Ignite, a pure form of energy. Negative feelings produce Lingerings, while positive feelings produce Astrays. Astrays are typically tame, but Lingerings can wreak havoc in the real world and drive their hosts to madness. Ignites are often unruly and violent; killing one permanently removes its host’s ability to feel emotions.
You work to tame the beasts within human hearts. The story follows both a female and a male protagonist, each with a separate story, as you uncover more about yourself.
Story and endings
The game contains over 100,000 words and 13 endings. Its presentation includes over 100 comic-panel-style CGs, some with sexual content, and more than 20 pixel-styled backgrounds.
Puzzles and mini-games
You solve puzzles, play mini-games and take part in quick-time events that test your reflexes.
