SYNESTHESIA
SYNESTHESIA is a visually driven mystery visual novel set in 2029, where a new generation of individuals with extraordinary mental abilities emerges. The story follows Ziek, a college student at the Huntley Scientific Research Institute, who experiences synesthesia—seeing objects imbued with color that reveals hidden meaning. As he tries to live a normal life with friends, he gets drawn into a larger, more complex mystery. The game features a branching narrative with multiple heroine routes, including a secret 'True Route' ending. Players can jump between character paths using an interactive flowchart. It combines fully voiced dialogue with some speech synthesis, and offers a rich banda sonora by composer Caleb Coles. Puzzle and exploration segments add depth, while psychological and philosophical themes enrich the experience. Presented in a clean, retro-inspired style at full HD, SYNESTHESIA offers an immersive, thought-provoking journey. The complete playthrough takes around 18 hours for all endings. This is a must-play for fans of deep storytelling and atmospheric games.
