Ever wonder how people are different when they're on the internet? True Selves is a visual novel that aims to explore that through the eyes of an agoraphobic main character whose whole world consists pretty much of the internet. Will you be able to meet a friend in real life, and even if you do, will they really be the same person you know from online?
