The lives of six high schoolers are turned upside-down when Isaac, who was once a close friend of Maya's, decides to return to school after several years of absence. Isaac; an aloof and often forgetful boy, attempts to reconnect with old friends, but is disillusioned by how much they have changed. Maya; a somewhat-nervous yet mostly steadfast girl, is thrown for a loop when her ex-boyfriend of two years; Jayne, suddenly shows up out of nowhere, and is forced to come to terms with an unresolved breakup.
Every story has two sides in "Lines of Symmetry".

This demo version is about the first third of the full game, and was created using the Ren'Py visual novel engine. An online friend of mine, Lindi Harrison, does all of the character sprites, composer Bobbi Miller is doing the music, and I've been doing the writing, design and programming.
In "Lines" you play as two different characters; Isaac, and Maya — of whom are both currently senior students at a highly prestigious Catholic High School in the pacific northwest. You are given the option to switch between the viewpoints of these two characters on a scene by scene basis to try and understand their different points of view, and to hopefully piece together their currently dysfunctional relationships.
That's all the official jargon out of the way. =)
I've had a lot of fun working on this project so far, and I hope to keep working on it until I end up with a cool finished thingy in the end.
[Your Feedback is Appreciated!]This is sort of a "niche" game, but I would appreciate hearing feedback on it anyway. Any and all feedback on the story/mechanics/characters, or even how much you think it sucks — would be great. =) I appreciate honesty.
