Long Story Short

Long Story Short is a choice-driven story about a man who has never connected with girls and prefers playing video games to pursuing real-life relationships. His best friend Joe makes a major change in his life and draws him into a new lifestyle. You meet Joe’s girlfriend, Vanessa, and her longtime friend Ann, among other women, and decide how to approach them and the relationships around them.

Story and choices

Your choices shape the characters’ interactions and the story’s outcome. The story has an end goal, but the route to it varies. You can pursue a relationship with the shy, sweet Ann, try to influence her in other ways, or attempt to take Vanessa away from Joe. Choices also let you decide whether to preserve relationships or take risks by sharing them.

Characters and paths

Each woman has her own personality and characteristics, and each is available for romance. They include a shy, socially awkward woman, someone open about her passions, and a childhood friend with deep-rooted connections. Their paths depend on your choices, which can bring you closer to them or take their stories in different directions.

Different playthroughs

Later playthroughs can reveal scenes from other perspectives or show what happens when you make different choices. The story also explores adult themes and fetishes.
