Intrusive Thoughts

It's not a visual novel, it's not a dating simulator. It's what happened when the dialogue wheel from Mass effect met Undertale and they had a baby.

Controls:

Use WASD or the arrow keys to confirm dialogs and move your train of thought (represented as a little heart). Touching any color in the play area confirms a dialogue selection.

Press ESC to pause the game.

Gameplay notes:

What do the colors mean? (spoilers!)

Each color is associated with a "trait". The list below applies to the conversation, not the introductory cutscene:
* Red: self-centered vain
* Teal: self-conscious timid
* Blue: too-honest apathic
* Yellow: nervous jokester
* Purple: fake people-pleaser
* White: recovery from the last intrusive thought
