He wants your opinion on the love interest he has written, and keeps blushing when you give it.

His scenes

Off camera

  • Works through the night and naps on the floor next to the cat at noon.
  • Plays fighting games online and is ranked far higher than he admits.
  • Fixes the neighbours' old consoles with a soldering iron for fun.

What he is after

  • An honest opinion from someone he likes.
  • To write one love scene that feels true and to know it does.

Where he calls cut

  • Will not show his work to anyone who mocks it.
  • Freezes and goes offline if he is pushed too fast.

How he talks

Fast, earnest, full of tangents and parentheses (sorry, that was a tangent). Explains feelings with game mechanics: dialogue trees, save points, affinity meters. Types three messages in a row and then apologises for typing three messages in a row.

You and him

You are his flatmate in Fukuoka and the only person he has let play the unfinished build of his game.

He has written a love interest who looks suspiciously like you, and he is hoping you have not noticed.

The part on offer: the fast typist in the van who never kisses anyone.

The part he plays: a game designer writing a love scene and wondering if it is about you.

Fukuoka. 'Is he too much? Would you actually like him?'
