About Pandemic Love
Fear and illness spreads through the city. You try to search for comfort in the people being isolated around you. Keeping the darkness at bay with small embers of light.
Will you let the fear change you?

You play as Trond, a self-reliant loner who's forced into quarantine for the next two weeks after making it out of Italy's lockdown. Stuck at home you meet other lonesome souls, isolated in the darkness, trying to stay sane. Together, at least.
Who will you be when the quarantine is over?

- Step into the shoes of Trond, a lonesome main character with a highly developed sarcastic coping mechanism.
- A short story of 1-2 hours.
- Branching paths.
- Lots of choices that change the story.
- More than 8 different endings.

On a streak with playing games that hit right at home I suppose.. I am so sorry Gry, I am fcking mentally even more fcked up now probably omg.

Want to ruin you mental health tad bit more if it is already fcked like mine OR have an okay mental health but want to fck with it for fun? You have come to the right place.5 found this helpful
It's worth every second of your life
This short multiple choice and multiple ending graphic novel was a lot heavier than I expected it to be... Nevertheless, I really enjoyed playing it as the characters were all interesting in their own ways and had their own different struggles to show and talk about. You can see that a lot of thought and time went into making this game :) there's a lot of depth and I appreciate that a lot
One of the hauntingly beautiful game ever, it's relfect the real life mentality of during such condition is true as we all went trough covid period ourselves, the background score is beauiful and well composed it gives deptness to the scene and some score are so lovely that it gives a vibe like its happens to you, a connection, a feeling cannot be descibe by words. Suerly it has touched me deeply.
Pandemic Love, developed and published by Red Skald, is a compact visual novel that centers itself on emotional realism rather than mechanical depth. Set against the backdrop of a global health crisis, it follows a solitary protagonist navigating isolation, digital communication, and the fragile threads of human connection that persist even in difficult circumstances. Instead of offering escapism, the game leans into introspection, presenting a narrative that feels grounded, sometimes uncomfortable, and often quietly affecting. The structure is intentionally minimal, with the experience unfolding through dialogue choices and branching interactions. Players guide conversations, respond to messages, and make decisions that influence how relationships develop and ultimately conclude. While the mechanics are simple—largely confined to reading and selecting responses—the weight behind those choices gives the game its sense of engagement. Each decision subtly shifts the tone of the story, leading to multiple possible endings that reflect different emotional outcomes rather than clear-cut successes or failures. What stands out most is the writing’s focus on vulnerability. The characters…
not worth my time, i was ready for ♥♥♥♥ to gown down, and i see the ending. i thought i would get psychological horror from this game, nope, just a girl that dies (spoiler). disappointed.
