About this college roommate interactive story
This 15-minute interactive story follows adult college roommates Ryan and Jake during a quiet Friday night in their dorm. Their friendship shifts when Jake asks an honest question about attraction, and the reader decides how Ryan responds. Early choices can use humor, hesitation, direct honesty, or silence; later decisions can emphasize conversation, mutual check-ins, slowing down, or taking initiative. The story contains 16 paths and five endings, including outcomes where the roommates communicate openly, step back, or miss the moment. Each branch keeps the focus on trust, consent, vulnerability, and the consequences of what Ryan chooses to say or leave unsaid.

My roommate of nearly two years, when I look back on my sophomore year in college I still don't know what triggered the shift in me and Jake.
Coming from a housing lottery, a business major from Ohio and a creative writing student from California wouldn't have been an obvious match-up, but they got it spot on.
Jake and I clicked right away, we bonded over our love of music, our sick sense of humor, and our inability to get enough sleep from staying up playing video games.
