About Us

Party for Introverts is a small indie team with backgrounds in professional video game development, literature, and theatre. Based in London, they aim to make nontraditional emotion-driven games that focus on story and connectivity.

We are the creators of a number of critically acclaimed short interactive stories (Thing-in-Itself, From Head to Toe and A Lozenge) and are currently working on their first full-length project (the narrative RPG, Cabernet).

Party for Introverts is Arseniy Klishin and Laura Gray.

Featured on:

Ted and Molly are together. Ted feels a connection to Molly wherever he looks.

But, how do they both really see the relationship? See each other?

“Thing-in-Itself” is an interactive short story about the struggles of understanding another human being. Using Immanuel Kant’s concept as a framework, it leads the player through stages of a relationship, exploring how perceptions may clash and surroundings can alter.

With an average walkthrough time of 15 minutes, “Thing-in-Itself” is not a game in a traditional sense – it doesn’t have win or lose conditions and doesn’t present challenge to the player.

With this project, Party for Introverts attempts to establish a connection between the mediums of game and short story, reworking the possibilities when narrative and interactivity merge.
