PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE
About game
Static. Your body is foreign territory.
PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE is a cozy-meets-creepy puzzle game about communicating with people you don't understand.
College grad Louis has just moved back to his childhood home, but things seem worse this time around. He's chronically ill, struggling to find adequate healthcare, and can't seem to recognize the streets he was raised on. When he is attacked by a mysterious entity, communicating only through a cassette player, he must consult with it and the other townsfolk to discover the true nature of the assault.

Consult with witnesses using only phrases they have already said in unique word-based puzzles.
Unravel a supernatural conspiracy in a small town.
Chat with the locals and distract yourself with their problems.
Take pictures of the city's bugs for a friend!
