Love between teenagers is more complicated than they think.

In this Love and Investigation game, titled Hey Love Tim formerly Noras Mystery, players explore a high school in an American setting. The story combines both genres through interactive storytelling. I remember the feeling I get when playing this game because it's similar to the feelings I had after watching the 13 reasons why movie. It feels like my high school memories are actually happening right now instead of years ago. What do I think about every day? During that time, were you studying, eating, entertaining and socializing? If so, did you keep a secret from the world? In some cases, an anecdote about friends playing badly on someone can answer a puzzle. There are many possible reasons for a loss of friendship, but serious circumstances and strict parents often go unacknowledged. ► Some people come to grips with the severity of their loss after confronting the disappearance of a close friend.

Rumors spread through the high school student chats about a girl named Nora who unexpectedly vanishes. Nora was an attractive teen who recently graduated from high school. Playing as a classmate of Nora excuses all the troubles in the game. After discovering secret messages hidden within the group chat, you realize that your boyfriend falls in love with Nora— a girl who mysteriously vanished. How will you deal with this news? You can choose to trust and live carefreely; move on and pretend to care nothing; or become suspicious and attempt to uncover the truth. Next to you are Lila and Joshua, two close friends who always listen and give you more sober and rational advice than the in-group. At the fork in the road, you’re not alone— instead, you have company in your corner. After this story, you find out who is innocent, who is guilty and where love will go by making a series of choices. The ending, plot twists, the messages you receive and the unbelievable turns of the story all depend on these decisions.

This is because statements made in the game come with consequences. Your decisions and actions change the course of your life, as well as the lives of everyone around you.

Which statements would you give to Joshua about his over-the-top school outfits? And will these statements create an invisible wall between you? Or maybe he has a friend named Ricardo who is a pro at making puns. Lila's relevance to Norah's disappearance remains a mystery. How you word even the most inoffensive inquiry pertaining to your closest friend leaves lingering effects on her mental state and subsequent interactions with you.

The story of Hey Love Tim revolves around the phone messages that make up 90% of the story. This is because the messages show up as texts on your phone. The subtle yet positive aspect of these messages is that they reveal a layer of the virtual world overlaid on top of the real world. The game rewards players with a sense of confusion and disconnect by creating a half-fake, half-realistic atmosphere. Every time a new piece of information drops in the story, the player is forcibly pulled into the world. Players can experience everything from anger to acceptance, embarrassment to hope, and everything else in between. The game often made me believe that my actions were coming to life.
