Too Different

Too Different is a 200,000-word interactive science-fantasy novel in which your choices shape the story. You journey through four lands while uncovering the past of your parents and homeland; your decisions can change the world. The game is entirely text-based, with no graphics or sound effects.

Your character

You can play as male, female or nonbinary, and choose to be gay, asexual or straight. You also choose your mother’s origin from one of four familiar species.

Relationships and choices

You can pursue romances with a childhood frenemy, a quiet classmate, a sassy A.I. helper, a forgetful priest, a human-obsessed romance novelist, a slam poet or a hacktivist. Along the way, you may find friendship, love or things better left unknown. You can work with the oppressive Board or end its tyranny forever.

Secrets of the world

You can complete a secret poem and uncover the surprising history behind the Second Capital.
