Held by Absence

Held by Absence is a narrative-driven walking simulator set in a fractured world where soulmates are believed to be bound by an invisible red thread. As the player wanders through quiet, unsettling environments, they encounter others who have lost their other half, each carrying fragments of grief, hope, and denial.

The game focuses on slow exploration, environmental storytelling, and proximity-based dialogue, blending melancholic beauty with subtle psychological horror. It is not a story about finding love, but about what remains when love is gone.
