ToBeYou is an empathy game. You step into the life of someone in Singapore, make the hard choices they have to make, feel the cost, and then talk to them in character to understand why.  These hard choices "turn up the heat" as the pressure of a life where every choice costs something. There is no free option. You pick a choice, the story branches differently, and the person carries the weight of those choices. 

Notes - Best on a phone, or in fullscreen on desktop.

The chat works offline with scripted personas. For live, free-form conversation you can paste your own Claude API key in the in-game key panel. Nothing is stored on a server. 

Credits ToBeYou is built on the open-source ToBeYou by better.sg (https://better.sg), a nonprofit volunteer project. This is a non-commercial game-jam overhaul of their 2022 work and is not affiliated with or endorsed by better.sg (yet). Please visit the original at https://tobeyou.sg.
