Secret Animosity is a choice-based psychological narrative about friendship, tension, and identity. You play as “the quiet one” on a road trip in a foreign country with three friends. A strange encounter at a remote gas station sets off a chain of subtle conflicts, forcing you to decide how to respond, whether you speak up, stay quiet, or push back.

Your interactions gradually shape your inner voice, pulling you closer to one friend’s worldview, pushing you away from another, or helping you find your own perspective. Small choices accumulate into larger shifts, influencing not only the group’s dynamic but also who you become by the end of the trip.

The game blends conversational decision-making with a moody visual style of deep reds, yellows, and blues, hand-drawn elements, and abstract imagery. The result is an experience that feels familiar but slightly off, a quiet tension that lingers even after the story ends.
