Something Borrowed
Due to the needs of an ailing and irritating grandmother, Thalia unfortunately had to turn down her dear friend Charlene's request to help with her upcoming wedding. Thalia, however, wasn't worried knowing that there was little that Charlene couldn't handle. When the day of the wedding arrives, she expects the event to go off without a hitch.
She couldn't have been more wrong...
Disaster strikes mid-ceremony, leaving everyone within the venue trapped with a sinister presence. Amidst the chaos, it becomes clear that Thalia is the only one with the knowledge necessary to save everyone. Well, Thalia, and perhaps the strange man that no one else seems to recognize?
Thalia / MC
A normal woman with minimal supernatural abilities. She expects to attend the grand wedding of a friend, only to watch everything fall apart before her eyes.
Determined to use her little knowledge of the paranormal, she begins to question the people around her, hoping to find a way to appease whatever trapped them there in the first place.
Sphen
A strange and suspicious man, the only person Thalia has found more irritating than her grandmother. No one at the wedding seems to know who he is, but he seems to have his own agenda... one he would gladly carry out if a particular bowl-headed woman didn't keep getting in his way...

Holy shhhhh..... This has to be one of the most beautiful and thoughtful games I've played.
I enjoyed just soaking in the story in the beginning. Everything unravelling was brilliant. Then towards the end as you actually make decisions it started off pretty straightforward, just needing to remember info from previous dialogue, but then it got tricky!
I got 2/3 endings. Going back for the third one for sure! This is definitely a game I will play again in the future. Usually I don't like revisiting stories since I know what'll happen, but this one I'm obsessed with. It's in my faves folder already.
The depth, the tragedy, the despair, the horror elements, the mystery-- it's addicting!!! The ending made me cry-- if something makes me cry it's automatically good in my book <3 also the romance at the end ??! <<<333 such a treat!
Also, lowkey obsessed with Kingsley <3 he's such a gentleman!! And I love his character design<<33. Highkey obsessed with Sphen <<<333 he's hilarious and brilliant!!! Legit laughed at a lot of his dialogue lol. I loved all the characters!! (the not-evil ones)
100000000/10 you could make this a series!!!!!
This is so sweet🥹🥹🥹🥹 Thank you so much for playing it! It was our first full length game and we were definitely worried about how the writing would be received, so we’re glad it resonated with you.
We were also agonizing over how to get some proper horror through, so we’re happy you liked that too!
Kingsley is one of our favs as well! But of course Sphen the turd will always have a special place in our hearts💕 Writing his lines brought us great joy🫶
HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Late to the party but HOLY MOLY!!! A NEW SUDACHYS GAME!!!!!!!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Gran has amazing taste... the MC looks fab with short hair.
The colorful cast of characters looks fantastic, and the insert art is absolutely gorgeous and spine tingling 😱
The music choices, cinematography, and timing are also awesome!!! You guys seriously killed it with the programming.
The narrative, overall direction, characters, writing... everything is so lovely and spookeh. 👻 Sphen and MC have such great back and forths.
I'm just sad that this couldn't come out during Halloween season...
But spookeh season is forever. The spook shall live on!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
SPOILER-ish/Thoughts:
Harold shipping MC and Sphen was low key pretty cool of the guy HEH all things considered
The pig cut-in gave me the chills!!! Damn, it looks so great fullscreen.
The fact that "Love you too pookie" is a real line 😭😭😭 this is peak
When will the dating sim update be released jk but not jk?I started a Kingsley fan but Sphen is the real prize
P.S. I got all the endings!
SPOOK IS FOREVER👻
