Metahorror Therapy Session

Metahorror Therapy Session is a visual novel about an apparently endless therapy session between Dr. Montgomery and his mysterious patient, Noel. You choose how Dr. Montgomery responds to Noel’s revelations and lies, which questions he asks, and when he stays silent. The sessions suggest that neither of them can escape the room.

The therapy sessions

The game contains 50,000 words, including optional and hidden dialogue. You can read Dr. Montgomery’s notes to follow his reasoning and suspicions about Noel. An affinity system unlocks additional conversations and therapeutic interventions as the doctor’s bond with his patient grows. A point-and-click mode lets you interact with the room around you.

Your choices determine which of four endings you reach. Two are “True Endings” available at the very end of the game, and there are nearly 50 achievements to unlock.

Art and sound

The game’s original art and sound were created by Brazilian creatives. Its presentation includes an original soundtrack by Guilherme Alexander, expressive character sprites with multiple poses and in-engine animations, three CG illustrations, and background art.

The interactive user interface is themed after a therapist’s notebook. A cinematic parallax camera zooms, rotates and follows your mouse, while additional sounds, drones and effects accompany the sessions.
