True Colours

About this game

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?



This cute (yet traumatic) little game features:

• A gender neutral protagonist with a customisable name and androgynous appearance, for maximum self-insertability!
  
• Three possible love interests, representing various orientations and genders - one female, one male and one non-binary!
  
• A branching storyline where your choices matter, with 12 possible endings to find!
  
• Cute puppies~
  
• Big fuzzy uwu dating moments ^_^
  
• THE POSSIBILITY OF UNLOCKING HORRIFYING TRUTHS THAT CHANGE THE WAY YOU PERCEIVE SOMEONE FOREVER-
  
• Uh... did I mention cute puppies? Ehehe~!

Let's meet the dateable cuties and supporting characters that await you!



With a customisable name and an androgynous appearance, our protagonist is perfect for you to project yourself into! Introspective and something of a game and movie buff, they're known for being a bit a loner. However, they're secretly wishing to find love - so much so, in fact, that they’d do anything to make it happen…



Brianna is almost obsessively professional in the workplace, but beneath that corporate exterior, she's bubbly, vibrant and fun to be around. Her pretty smile and generous heart are super attractive.



The coolest guy around, Malik oozes chill. He's funny, laid-back and cute to boot (look at those freckles!). If you can keep up with this sports lover on the track, then you might just get rewarded.



Quiet and a little shy, Ash is a non-binary beauty that deserves the world. They might seem antisocial at first, but once that guarded shell begins to crack, you'll discover all sorts of surprising qualities!



Plus a ragtag bunch of office buddies to giggle around the water cooler with!

  True Colours New Trailer And Branding!

  Hey everyone! Borealis here! Today's announcement is very important to me; in the months since True Colours first released, I've had a variety of lovely feedback from players. However, a theme has started to recur about the game's plot twist, and how it's been kept secret within the game's trailer and advertising. I intentionally kept this plot twist under wraps so that it would be a big surprise when you play the game. However, a few people have expressed shock in a negative way when they reached the big reveal, and after reading their comments, I can understand why. True Colours has always been advertised as a romance/horror, but the context of the horror aspect was the secret that I left you to discover upon playing. I can now see why, due to the somewhat extreme nature of the plot twist, this may not have been the best strategy. Therefore, I've taken you all into consideration and created a brand new trailer and description for the game. This way, you'll know what you're getting into ahead of time, and can make that decision for yourself whether to play or not. I want you all to enjoy your gaming experience without any nasty shocks! Unexpected plot elements, sure, but no actual upset! So there you have it - if you're thinking of buying True Colours, please hop over to the store page and check out this new media, which will give you a much clearer snapshot of the game's content and themes. If our crazy horror twist looks too much for you, then I understand, and am glad that you could make that judgement before buying. On the other hand, if you're the kind of gamer that loves playing as a villain with a redemption arc, then come on in - this is the perfect game for you! Cards on the table. No more secrets. You're welcome. Big love to you all! Borealis
