When The Rumors Become Real is a story-driven game about Matt, a timid 14-year-old student from a poor family. After classmates pick on him, he brings props to a haunted house to pretend to take on a challenge and avoid attracting trouble. He also puts his childhood friend Esther in danger by bringing her along. The challenge goes wrong, and your choices determine how the story develops and ends.

Matt and Esther

Matt has no friends at school because of his unusual behavior and the effects of a childhood shadow. Esther is his only friend. She is also 14, and while others see her as cold because her expression rarely changes, this is simply her nature. Her mother works night shifts, so Esther eats with Matt’s family and sometimes helps him finish foods he dislikes, including carrots, corn and green beans.
