I’m extremely excited to FINALLY be able to say that We should talk has officially launched! Starting today, you can officially purchase We should talk on:
“...We should talk is something else–and something we need more of.” Third Coast Review
“"We Should Talk simply offers players a chance to attack and dethrone their worst impulses." - 8/10 Indie Game Website
Once you install and play, please take a moment to leave us a review! Steam reviews during the launch window of a game help smaller indie developers like us, so we’d really appreciate the support! Also, help us raise visibility on twitter by sharing our launch posts!
Launch Livestream
To celebrate our launch, we invite you to join us for another livestream this afternoon here on our store page and also at twitch.tv/insatiablecycle, at 1pm EST! We’ll play through the game and tell stories about the development of We should talk, so please join us in celebrating our launch together!
Once again, thank you for all the support you have given us. We should talk is a passion project for the development team, and we’re eternally grateful for the help you have been able to provide. Thanks to your support, we've been able to release We should talk to the world.
Thank You! -Jordan and the We should talk team

Thank You! -The We should talk team
We should talk. - Quick Pitch
Short-form experimental narrative game
Emotionally-charged communication sim
Made by a diverse development team
In We should talk, you'll use the sentence spinner to piece together modular sentences in response to the in-game characters. Choose your words carefully to express yourself as you discuss ongoing problems about life and romance with Sam, your in-game partner, over text messages, while also chatting with friends and strangers at your favorite local bar.
Our team came together with the goal of creating a game that challenges traditional transactional romance in games, and collaborated to push relationship-building games forward by expanding the realm of player choice.
