In a bustling metropolis where words carry unusual power, players assume the role of Alex Wells, a struggling freelance journalist who discovers an underground society that exchanges ‘hellos’ imbued with mysterious significance. Each ‘hello’ alters the emotional responses of those who hear it, leading to unexpected situations. As players navigate through an unpredictable web of conversations, they must gather intel, build alliances, and uncover the true identity of the society's leader while managing their own mental state—because nothing is what it seems, and every exchange could lead to paranoia or revelation. Choices matter as relationships shift, and players must decipher hints and clues hidden in casual greetings and farewells.
