Say 'Shh' to Small Talk...
A good conversation can unlock parts of us that little else can. There’s nothing wrong with chatting about the everyday – it’s what fills most of our lives after all – but those don’t tend to be the conversations we remember.
This game tries to kickstart 'real' conversations. Because sometimes we want – need – more than small talk. Sometimes we’re hungry for something more than the mundane.
