True Colours is a romance/horror visual novel - a cute innocent dating sim with a dark twist!
WARNING: THIS GAME CONTAINS DEPICTIONS OF HORROR, THREAT, VIOLENCE, GORE, DEATH AND MENTAL HEALTH STRUGGLES/ILLNESS. GAMERS WITH SENSITIVE DISPOSITIONS MAY FIND CERTAIN SCENES DISTURBING.
Tired of the same old daily routine? Our protagonist knows that feel all too well. Working a boring office job and living alone, life is starting to feel like a merry-go-round that's had a few too many spins... until today!
When three new hires join the team, a sudden burst of excitement arrives! They're cute (oh no, he's hot!), they're single (it helps) and they're ready for romance! But little do they know that there’s another face behind that friendly façade of yours…
…and it ain’t pretty.
This shocking, crazy tale puts YOU in the villain’s shoes. Date your way into gaining your partner’s trust, then unleash your true motives. There’s deception. There’s terror. There’s death… but there’s also a chance for redemption.
Can you face up to your inner demons and leave this path of destruction behind once and for all? Will you change your ways and prove yourself to be worthy of their love, or will this horrifying game just keep on looping forever? Can you forgive yourself once you see your… True Colours?

aghhh i like ash so much but omfg I'm SO SCARED for whatever the fuck "sealing the deal" and bringing them together in a "powerful way" means AHHH. i love yandere MCs but omfg its so scary knowing i might hurt the love interests (because obviously things go wrong when they find out you're not stable and thats usually when the yandere is like, "nahhh no more legs! you don't need legs so you can run away from me!"
also oMFG MC masks SO WELL. thats why this is gonna hurt, ik it LMAO. the game description makes it feel very clear that we ARE gonna mess up at first unless we try hard lmaoo
STOOPPP I'M SO SAD OMGGGG. I GOTTA SEE IT THROUGH THO
WHY DO I KEEP TORTURING MYSELF WITH ALL THE SAD ENDINGS FIRST I'M DOING IT ON PURPOSE EVEN THO IT HURTTTSS
i had to skip a couple of the other bad endings cuz my heart was hurting LMAO but OWWW?? THE GOOD ENDING MADE ME CRY I'M SO WEIRDLY PROUD OF MC LOL. idk how i'm gonna manage to do another route bro holy shit. no more bad endings for a WHILE. i'm just gonna stick to the good
Haha thank you for taking me along on that rollercoaster! 😆
I'm glad you found the game entertaining and emotional, and that you felt like the good ending was worth the journey. Thanks so much for playing 💜
its SO impressive how you managed to make me both anxious but also like... really excited to see shit go down LMAO. thats talent, being able to induce just the right amount of anxiety
I appreciate that so much, thank you 💜 and I also appreciate how passionate you are about gaming!
finallly about to play Malik's route, i'm just scared lol. its not as hard to witness once they know you're fucked up but the whole "true colors" showing scene lowkey makes me wanna cry lmao like its so sad
NOOOO OMFG HIS FACE IS SO SCARED AND NERVOUS I FEEL SO BAD BRO (i'd be a horrible yandere fr, i'd just do whatever they told me to lmao)
omfg okay soo.. this already hurts WAY less than Ash's route becase Malik actually has a backbone already at the start so he feels like overwhelmingly pitiying for us off the bat. like Ash's route was hard because the backfiring always hurtthem more than me yk, but at least Malik is more capable of fighting back. and both routes initial have a either he/they die or i die, but Ash's was so accidental. i like that Malik can actually make the choice to stab us (tho lowkey the whole reason i like Ash so much is BECAUSE they immediately seem more sad than angry about everything). plus Malik actually puts up boundaries and sticks to them, he doesn't give in a little too easy once we show remorse like Ash does. obviously Malik is caught off guard by the progress and willingness to change but its much faster progress with him because he doesn't indulge us at all like Ash does (which lowkey does make the process harder)
I'm glad the diversity in characters and their responses makes the routes feel different and interesting!
its so good! i'm way too obsessed with yandere games lol
Hehe nothing wrong with that! I'm really happy you're enjoying True Colours!
Refreshing, amazing, psychological. I'm so glad that people stretch the limits of the visual noval genre !! I can tell doki doki was an inspiration, however here it's still a fresh twist bc WE incarnate someone twisted.
Idk why your game hasn't got enough reviews, but i'm giving mine <3 So, no, this isn't your typical love story, but if you love true crime and psychology, you will love this game !!
Thank you so much!! 💜
A very nostalgic feeling game with the graphics, old-school transitions, and music to match! I can tell a lot of care was put into setting up the story, perhaps in preparation for a shoe to drop later on...? But that could just be me. There's nothing undelightful about this game as far as can be seen!! 😄
Thanks so much! The demo is certainly innocent enough... can't promise the same for the full game though 😉
Hi Borealis :)
Great demo of the visual novel :)
Ahh thank you so much! 💜
Amazing
