Reunion
A relaxing typing game made in two days as a part of Wholesome Games Jam 2022 🎉
take your time and type calmly
Reunion is a game about getting back in touch, reuniting, and sharing space. Our characters are found chatting and reconnecting at a high school reunion. Things can feel awkward, shaky, and uncertain, but we can share those feelings and those moments together. Maybe all we really need is community.

It’s a pretty creative concept and a nice typing game. I think this is a good way of engaging the player and putting the player into that person’s shoes. By typing out the words, it makes me think about those words and the emotions that come with it. With that said, I do think there needs to be either something to spice up the gameplay, or temper the typing only for more significant moments like what Doot said; words that are hard to say and need the player to type it out - this will give more meaning to the typing mechanics and make it feel less tedious/contrived. Another idea is to perhaps introduce choice in the typing, where the player has to actively type out their choice. Anyways, it was a pleasant experience. Well done!
This was really beautiful 💌
The writing is very well done, the ending is really really strong.
The typing was sometimes very engaging, and sometimes felt a bit like a chore. I feel like if it was not there during the whole game, but only when people express difficult things to say, it could be even stronger as a mechanic.
Thanks for the game.
I was intrigued when I saw a typing game among the submissions, and after playing I think it was a great choice for this game :) the message was very sweet and uplifting and the voices kept making me smile even as I realised how prone to typos I am.
Thanks for the nice experience :)
don't worry, you're not alone when it came to typos.
Awwww, this was really nice and warm. I feel all comfy now haha
The concept is really cool too! Made all the messages/dialogue feel even more personal because I was also typing them out, so it was almost like I was saying it myself... and I kind of was? Think I was echoing a lot of sentiments here while I was playing it. Thanks for this!
yea, that was our intention to include the typing part
thankyou for playing our game! :)
We're all just trying our best. Nice game :)
We all are! thanks for playing :)
I appreciate the thoughtful sentiments in this game. The colours are soothing and hopeful, as is the music. I felt warm seeing the characters chatting, and I enjoyed the little noises while typing too!
thankyou for playing! :)
it was DiamondWarrior's idea to add those little typing (or speaking) noises, i think it was a nice touch
I thought this was really sweet and good, thank you :)
awww, thankyou :)
