Keeping You Close is a psychological horror visual novel where every chat seems like walking a wire. Some monsters like to hide in the dark. Some smile and softly speak, but claim that all they do is just keep away the danger. Just to protect you.
Skip the usual plot of fleeing from a relentless stalker (yandere). In this game, you possess the key—and the burden of making a harsh choice.
That person trapped behind bars in that dark cellar is not a stranger or a criminal; they used to be your everything. But their obsessive devotion exceeded all bounds, and you had a desperate final recourse: to lock them away. But can such a mad love be kept in an iron cage?
The fear in the game doesn't come from loud jump scares or gruesome chases. But the terror is mute, developing day by day under the shadow of terrible uncertainty. You have to confront your “prisoner,” look for every twitch of feeling, choose your words carefully.
A good phrase may be like a spark of hope; a careless word like a chasm of hatred. The boundary between compassion and survival instinct starts to blur. Are they really sorry for what they did, or are they just pulling on your emotions, hoping they can get even?
