Refraction

Refraction is a visual novel in which you play as Jackie Shields, who wakes to find her world subtly changed. Trapped between her own dimension and a parallel one, Jackie encounters an alternate version of herself and must navigate changes to her friends, plans and sense of identity.

Two parallel worlds

You guide Jackie through both dimensions as she confronts her alternate self and seeks justice for a corrupt university president. The story also explores how Jackie was transferred between dimensions and what might be causing it, with the possibility of preventing—or bringing about—the worst outcome.

Relationships and choices

Jackie’s two best friends are Paul and Jun. You can pursue either of two romantic routes or choose no romance, while making choices that shape how she handles the conflicts around her.
