Game publisher CFK will release the adventure game “My Divorce Story” on Nintendo Switch and PC (Steam) on Thursday, August 18, 2022. The game involves a peculiar adventure type that is surprisingly common in every household, yet no one really talks openly about it: Does your partner actually love you or not?
Even in the most perfect relationships, sometimes you are just worried and you need confirmation that everything is A-Okay, and that they are not hiding anything from you. My Divorce Story is an affair investigation and divorce-themed game developed by a current lawyer with expertise in divorce proceedings, so it’s kind of interesting to see the world from his own eyes.
In order to request a divorce from your spouse, you have to gather evidence within 6 months in secret and win the divorce suit. That does not mean they are always cheating though, as there are multiple endings and each ending depends on the evidence you have obtained, your spouse’s affection level, and the amount of funds you have.
On the movie St. Elmo’s Fire, love was called “an illusion created by lawyers to perpetuate another illusion called marriage to create the reality of divorce and then the illusionary need for divorce lawyers”. That could not be too far from the truth of this game, as the story itself starts with a suspicious message, and leaves you the option to dismiss it or believe it.
My Divorce Story’s page is now available on Steam, Players can check out the cute art style (despite the heavy topic) and learn about some of the game mechanics involving the memories of both partners and how the evidence will be collected. According to the Steam page, you can do activities such as figuring out your spouse’s phone number, use logical thinking when dealing with clues, and at the same time, maintain the façade of a good relationship while you are doing all that.
