Psycholonials

Psycholonials follows Zhen, a young woman struggling through lockdown, and her friend Abby as they communicate with supernatural forces and launch a social-media brand. Their attempt to attract attention grows into a much larger movement.

The story follows the pair as their online project takes on political ambitions and its influence spreads beyond the internet. Its dark comedy and satire accompany a drama about power, radicalism, and the people caught up in a cause.

This is a chapter-based visual novel focused on reading a linear story, rather than making decisions that branch into different routes. Text and illustrated scenes are joined by occasional video, with music accompanying the escalating narrative.

Players who enjoy Psycholonials often praise its character-focused story, irreverent humor, distinctive art, and music. Some also value its political and personal themes, while others find the writing, political commentary, or ending less convincing.
