Frayed Ends
A downloadable visual novel
What is it?
You knit in public. People see you doing so. They get curious so they want to talk to you.
Your conversation starts about knitting.
But then you get to decide where the conversation goes.
And now it’s up to you to navigate the conversation.
You can learn about the people’s past, you can learn about their thoughts on contemporary issues,
And you can also just spend some time together and get a glimpse of another person’s life.
How was it made?
Using the amazing game engine Ren.Py I made this video game for a university project. This is my first proper, full game and it was made as a challenge to create a finished product within one and a half months.
I will continue to work on it and edit it further. But this is the state that it is being exhibited in at Game Zone in Stuttgart, Germany from 30. April – 05. May 2019.

I love this! I do knitting including in public and I love how it shows the little conversations that happen when you knit in public. I think I played through all the different options, and they were all so nice. I like the painterly art style and how kind hearted this game is. :3 thank you!
I am so glad you enjoyed the game! You are very welcome. It's fun to know that I am not the only one who experiences these little conversations irl when knitting in public!
Fun game. It's nice and relaxing. I also like the message of how the little things we do can affect people greatly.
