Roommates and living-together stories
Roommate stories work through proximity: there's no going home to think it over, because you already live there, which turns ordinary domestic moments, whose turn it is to cook, a late night in the shared kitchen, into the actual site of the relationship. Interactive play lets you decide how your character handles that closeness, keeping things easy and platonic, or letting the line blur.
This collection covers new roommates thrown together by chance, a share house full of housemates, or a sudden cohabitation neither of you asked for. Scenes usually open on an ordinary day at home, move-in, a shared chore, an unexpected encounter in the hallway, so you can play the small domestic moments that build into something more.

How to choose
Look at how many housemates a given Story includes; a one-on-one roommate setup plays very differently from a full share house with its own group dynamic. Let the everyday domestic details carry the early scenes rather than rushing the feelings, since the closeness building slowly is the actual appeal of this trope.
