The Assignment
A downloadable game for Windows
“The Assignment” is a slow-burn, identity-shifting visual novel set in Halden City, where you play as a seemingly ordinary university student. A strange psychology homework assignment begins to unravel your sense of self, drawing you into a spiral of transformation, submission, and self-discovery. With multiple paths, diverse characters, and dynamic systems, your journey will be shaped by who you trust and who you become.
The game has for now, about two weeks worth of content. The first week is about getting to know the charactes and the game's mechanics, while the second weeks builds to the assignment, the main plot point of the game.

Anyone know why this game was abandoned?
The download doesnt work anymore
from what I've been able to find out the developer stopped working on the game and even deleted the discord server for it.
Yeah I got v0.15 on patreon when it released and that was the last update I've seen. Damn.... I quite liked this game too.
Hopefully you and the other patreon supporters canceled the recurring payment option. From what I've seen thats the only thing the creator kept active.
Yeah I did. This actually happened to me once haha! I forgot to cancel once and kept paying for like 6 months for a game that wasn't updating. I only noticed when a patreon update showed which sites I was paying.
I love this game but unfortunately the download link doesn't work anymore, atleast for me
that’s the end of the content for now
So I hope u update version 0.02
I am! It's already available in my Patreon. Next Friday, 0.02 will be available for everyone an 0.03 will be available in my Patreon.
Oke so do u have a discord sever for everyone?
Yeah, in fact, i've just created it. Here it is.
i played to every bit i could now i just can't wait till the next update hope more comes out soon was sad to see only one shop sold anything though
Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
I am working on the next update and I’m planning to release it next month!
nice i'll be looking forwards to it <3<3<3
Great game, hope it gets updated!!
Thanks! Glad you liked it. I'll keep updating it monthly.
great!! Can’t wait!!
I would have loved to play the game but the browser version is cut off at the bottom so I can't progress in the story from the first scene.
Exactly. At least on the Brave browser it seems to not function properly.
On the Firefox the downloadable version works just fine.
you can use the tab key to proceed if you don't care skipping some dialogs.
I've change it so it goes fullscreen. I think this will solve the problem
Doesn't seem to, at least on chrome. Doesn't appear to be a scroll bar, nor does mouse wheel scrolling work.
At least for the online version.
I'll make some tests on other browsers to see what I can do.
I got it fixed. Scrolling should be working on Chrome and other browsers now.
