Disharmony
"In the Never it's colder than ever."
Disharmony is an interactive, story-driven game where your choices directly affect the events as they unfold. Told via an online messenger app called Harmony, it explores conversations between the people you trust the most. Or do you?
Following the mysterious disappearance of a friend, you're compelled to put your loyalties to the test and bring the facts to light.
Are you prepared to face the consequences of your decisions? Will you be able to uncover the truth? Can you save her?
This haunting journey into the unknown will leave you questioning who your friends really are and what truly lies beyond the veil.
"Can anyone hear me?"
- A developing story line which offers different options based on your decisions.
- Multiple possible endings.
- Easily accessible for those who enjoy unhurried, plot-sensitive games.
- Over 26,000 words of interactive storytelling.
- Based in a contemporary setting familiar to users of desktop messenger services, creating an intimate and relatable experience.
"Please help me."
Disharmony began as an exercise in prototyping and while it is a finished product, there may still be some unpolished design elements. Thank you for understanding.

This is really good, the writing is good and it doesn't really try to guide you and there's no way to back track to slowly think through what happened, so it's like real life, you stick to what you think you know best in the moment, and it may not be the right answer but it allowed me to act naturally as though I were myself and not trying to 'win' the game.
Edit: I got the right person though! Phew, I had a feeling and went with it.

I sacrificed Jae twice, the first time he didn't go to the Never (it rejected him for some reason) and Reina came back online, the second time he was claimed and Reina didn't come back. Did the same for Amelia, first time she was claimed but Reina didn't return, the second time was the same but Reina did return.
does your responses to Reina and/or the chosen sacrifice determine what'll happen? is there really a way to sacrifice yourself?
I killed Ravi (poor buddy [fuck him >:D])
I have a theory.
SPOILERS!!!
There's probably a fifth secret ending or more, i don't know yet. But i think that the MC did it, they seem to be the only one who doesn't get sacrifice and some of the options seems like the MC is lying or doesn't really care at all.
Like when everyone felt a chill down their spine, there is two options where you did feel it or not, that felt particularly off. Also the fact that no one seems to question if the MC did it and the only time where we get to learn about the MC relationship with Reina it gets dismissed by the MC themselves.
Each sacrificial ending doesn't bring back Reina, it was either due to the fact that they ran out of time or that the MC did it.
Maybe typing in a certain character name will get another ending? (Thought it was funny...)
Glad I wasn't the only one who thought that
YO dude i played the whole game and im sooo dumb i chose ravi bcuz i thought he was blaming everyone so he could not be guilty and i realized it said he was innocent. i had a guilt on amelia and jae but not on amelia because she was only jealous of her art and was mad becuase she was mad that reina gets more attention. jae was mad that zero hangs out with reina and he liked zero alot. So i wanted to ask that should i vote Amelia, Jae or Zero? Im want to play the game again...
All of them lead to the same conclusion, though choosing Amelia for sacrifice has a slighly different ending... Or just try them all.
Wow, I love this game. I had thoughts of it possibly having multiple endings tied to the guilty party depending on the choices but reading the comments I guess it's actually true, everyone had their own petty motives and ultimately it's in the hands of the player and their choices that decides whether or not those individual stories come to fruition. It took two tries to get a satisfying ending but, ugh, it was worth it! <33
edit: lol, didn't even read the description no duh, still really cool to play it and almost watch the story change in real time
I think their should be save and skip features, but the story is amazing. It sucks that you can't save, especially since restarting warns you that save data will be lost.
SPOILERS/DISCUSSION:
Is sacrificing Jae the only ending that brings Reina back? Is there a way to get everyone back alive? Is there a way to send Amelia to the Never in her place? How much is the ending(s) effected by the choices you make?
Also, LMK if anyone finds the secret endings. I've only gotten each ending for choosing who to sacrifice.
SPOILERS:
I sacrificed Amelia and Reina came back
I HAVE SO MANY THEORIES OF THIS GAME. LIKE A LOT BUT I DONT WANT TO CAUSE SPOILERS SO- GO TRY IT YOURSELF AND MAKE YOUR OWN.
( I LOVE THIS SO MUCH.)
I LOVED this game. PLEASE make another like this
great game, really had me hooked
I loved this game so much. Absolutely one of the best games I have played so far. Wonderful work
does the person who did it change on every playthrough?
i love this atmosphere and the characters felt so real, with all the possible motives. I would really wish i had a guide for the secret ends, but im gonna keep trying to get them. Excellent investigation game :D
I played this game around a month ago but I just wanted to thank you for making such an amazing work. I think I got the main ending but I played a few more times to get other endings too. Your talented and should definitely make more games or even a sequel
Five star rating and you deserve every Star! I have to say especially coming down to the wire at the end I was getting major chills. With no way to save your progress it really put on the pressure to pay attention to everything to make the right choices. Proud to say I managed to figure it out in the end sticking to my gut. You got some real talent for storytelling would love to see other similar games made by you in the future.
woah that was so cool and it felt so real bc the layout looks like discord
when u find out wht rlly happened, its actually quite sad
lmao harmony is the opposite of discord
i see wht u did there haha
THIS GAME IS SO COOL!
Had me hooked from the beginning to end!
this game is amazing, its characters are truly realistic in their personalities, the reasons to choose any of the options make sense, overall a 10/10 game.
I think it'd be nice if I could choose myself, Self Sacrifice and all that. That way I don't have to blame my friends.
Thanks for the feedback! There are multiple endings to the game, some of which are 'secret endings' and harder to achieve than others, so not all options are presented on every playthrough. Thank you for playing (and for the sacrifice you wanted to make for your friends).
Would you give us hints for unlocking the secret endings?
That was magnificent :0
I recommend it 100%
I knew it btw. I'm so proud of myself
Nice work, detective. Thank you so much for playing.
That was damn amazing. Sent chills down my spine.
It's good to hear you enjoyed the game. Thank you for playing and commenting.
jESUS THATS TRIPPY THAT WAS AWESOME AND WOW
Thanks for playing!
hey i really liked this game!! love the familiarity of the setting, makes you think that this would really happen anytime in real life. (without spoiling the game,) it was also hard to make a choice at the end, seems like it could be anyone or any scenario. thanks for this ^^
Thank you so much for playing and taking the time to leave a comment, especially while being so careful to avoid spoilers.
