Close To Obsession [Discontinued]
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
For 18+ Players ONLY
"After moving away from your small town of Maple Weather, Connecticut you find yourself returning after receiving the acting opportunity of a life time.
Upon arrival you run into an old childhood friend named Max Ackerman.
He's grown into himself and has become the towns handyman.
Reliable.
Sweet.
And the person everyone trusts.
Even you.
But there's something strange happening in Maple Weather. And something even stranger going on with your childhood friend.
You can't leave.
You can't escape.
And now that you've stepped within the towns limits, your fate is sealed and you're left to try and survive while trying to unravel Maple Weather's gruesome history and Max's seemingly deteriorating mental state."
Note: Due to lack of interest, I will likely no longer be working on this game.

Sad to hear this was discontinued, was happily excited and waiting to hear more!
You're well within your right to discontinue whatever projects you want to. That being said, given you mention you're discontinuing based on a lack of interest, I'd like to add that I was very interested in the progress of this game. Best of luck with everything
So sad to find out that the game is discontinued. I really like the whole premise and plot of the game. I was really looking forward more about Max past and how he dealt with the MC going away.
I"VE BEEN OBSESSED WITH MAX SINCE THIS GAME HAS DROPPED! PLZ DON"T GET RID OF MY FAVORITE BOI ;_;
I don't ever comment but PLEASEEEE dont' give up on this game. I just found it and I really like it
Act 1 of this game is so good, ever since I played it, I've been coming back to check for an update and read comments. It often takes a while for an indie game to gain a fanbase, and I can think of several players and streamers who would rush to this game if it were completed, me especially. This has so much potential, PLEASE don't give up!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEE DONT GIVE UP ON THE GAME ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
THIS GAME IS SO GOOD CANT WAIT FOR MOREE
I. LOVE. THIS!! Your games never disappoint and the art is always so pretty <33 The plot is so interesting and I'm so excited to find out more about the town and Max, he's such a cutie (and I also happen to have a soft spot for male leads with red hair)
Really good stuff!!! I am in love with Max and i HOPE this will end well for everybody, ha ha.....
I loved the plot, is super interesting. I'll be waiting for next updates.
*Pushes Max's cute face away*
Hold on, what the fuck was up about that bear????
lol I love Max but I'm more excited about the mystery of the town, can't wait to learn more in future updates.
🤍GREAT GAME🖤
Just finished playing the demo! I loved it, the person wearing the teddy bear mask really freaked me out!! I can't wait to know more of the story! :D
Hi, can you choose gender of MC?
It will be an option! Admittedly I did a whoops and haven't programmed it fully in, but the first initial option will be where you chose if I can implement it properly 💙
Amazing! Thank you :' )
I LOVE IT! My poor boy max D: , Don'r worry Max I will help you clean up your mess my love :D

I love this omgg i cant wait for more!!!
REALLY enjoyed it so far!
LOVE IT!!! Absolutely love it!! Max is my favorite childhood friend/love now without a doubt.
I can't wait for the next segment to come out! At this point I wouldn't be surprised if Max had pulled something to bring MC back to hometown.
I WOULD STAY WITH HIM WITHOUT HAVING A THOUGHTS OMGGGG
I LOVEEE
I dont know if it was how well the writing captures such delicate emotions, or how much i myself relate to the mc, but this visual novel made me feel THINGS. i cant remember the least time i teared up over one of those, it was so beautifully well written and i genuinely can not wait to find more about the lore of the bear mask and his relation to the town and max...urgrhrgrh so many questions are plaguing me, anxiously waiting for an update!!
loooove it !! u totally nailed it with the bear-man it was so eeire, but i guess we dont have to be worried about that anymore lmaooo, so excited to learn more about the lore of the town, and of our friend turned lover <3
LOVED THE DEMO SM OMG!!The lore,the artstyle and Max?!!?!?😻😻can't wait for more content <33
oh wow!! the world and mistery that this game is building has gotten me hooked!! can't wait to see how it develops!!!
I was so on edge playing this game ;-; THE BEAR THING IS SO CREEPY WTH?! AINT NO WAY THAT THING IS HUMAN. I am so invested in the lore rn. And Max ofc <3 he's a cutie patootie I love him
i have never been this early to a comment section omg :0 im so hyped about this game already :DD keep up the good work!!
This is great, I can't wait for more
the premise is so incredibly interesting! i'm stoked for more!!
The writing, art, and atmosphere paints a scene in my head no other vn has done im ngl. I got chills from how much we DONT know as the main character. Keep cooking <3 cant wait to see new updates
You uploaded this game at about 11 p.m. in my timezone, and I firmly don't regret playing it until 2 a.m.
I really enjoyed the story so far, I LOVE the "small town with secrets" trope, and MAX
I didn't expect to like him so much; he's such a yearner! I nearly choked up hearing him spill his heart to the player about our no-contact. Their friendship felt real and genuinely so sweet, it hurts.
I actually played the Original Close to Obsession, and it's a huge improvement. I was kinda scared to see his design and story change, but I'm very satisfied with his new direction, and I'm very excited to see where the story goes!!!
(BTW: I played with a friend on call, and he said "hear me out." On Patty, I just thought you should know that)
HOW AM I SO EARLY I LOVE YOU AND UR GAMES AAAAA
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE! So excited to play
OH MY GOSH I LOVE IT SO FAR. First chapter had me absolutely hooked (especially with that cliffhanger ending, kept me on the edge wanting more). I was absolutely weak and had to kiss Max (I mean look at him). Another beautiful creation you made, can't wait to see where you take this story!
