and Roger

It was a morning like all others, until she realized her dad wasn't home. In his place, a stranger who speaks nonsense and insists she "takes her medicine". Who is he? Where is dad?

About this gameFull description from Steam
and Roger is an interactive novel that lets you see through the protagonist's eyes—whether what she sees makes sense or not. It is comprised of three chapters and can be played in its entirety in about one hour. Story It's just another morning for this young girl. She wakes up and starts getting herself ready while shaking off the sleepiness like always. Except something, somehow, feels off. When she steps into the living room, she expects to find her dad preparing for work. Instead, she finds a stranger sleeping on the couch. The man wakes up, looks at the girl, and sighs. Ignoring her confusion, he mumbles to himself with a hint of sadness in his voice. Scared, the girl runs. She must leave the house. She doesn't know who this man is or where her father has gone. Walk alongside her on this twisting, twisted path and see where it will lead her.
