Collarboner

A narrative visual novel exploring trauma and belonging. You play through parallel stories of a woman emotionally wounded by past romantic disappointment and a dog—used metaphorically to represent someone fleeing an abusive relationship. The two seek refuge in each other, yet find the connection ultimately insufficient to heal their respective wounds. The game examines themes of transmisogyny, power dynamics in relationships, and the limits of codependency through a deliberately uncomfortable, psychologically dense lens.
