Roommate Drama: Texting Game

The Lease is a roommate texting game and interactive story played entirely in your phone's messages, where your choices decide who still trusts you. You just signed a twelve-month lease. Sam is warm, chaotic and has never once paid rent on the day. Dee is precise, quiet and laminates the chore chart. The landlord texts in one-sentence messages that end with a full stop. Sam's partner does not live here but has a key. The neighbour downstairs hears everything and bakes before she complains.

All five have your number. The whole game is your phone.

HOW IT PLAYS
- Read the messages as they land, month by month
- Pick every reply. No typing, no timers, no wrong-button deaths
- Every person remembers what you said. Side with one and it costs you with the rest
- Let the drama climb and THE GROUP CHAT leaks it to everyone

WHAT IS IN IT
- Twelve chapters, one per month of the lease
- Nearly a thousand messages, all written for this game
- Twelve endings, depending on who still trusts you when the lease is up
- Sixty moments to collect: the texts you will want to screenshot
- Read Her Mind: watch a short ad to see what a reply will do before you send it
- English, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese

A comedy about living with people. The joke is always the situation, never the person.
