Placebo LovePlacebo Love is set in the same universe as the game, Last Word, and can be completed in around ten (10) hours to fifteen (15) hours of playtime. I proofread, helped on, and tested this game both during development and after its release.
When Lorne Volley answers a mysterious email from Lady Love he quickly finds his soulmate.
Twice.
Twin strangers who look alike, talk alike, and live similar lives.
You are Lorne's silent Muse. His guiding hand. His inspiration.
Draw him from his loneliness to connect with acquaintances, reunite with family, and explore the ebbing romances of two distant cities. Maybe you'll unravel his doppelganger dilemma and reveal true love. Or maybe he'll end up alone.
