Sacrifice someone else, or put yourself on the line. Yasashiku Shite (unofficial translation: “Be Kind to Me”) is a single-player game where choices like these decide how it ends. Its demo went up on Steam on November 10. It runs on PC (Steam), supports English, and the full version launches in November.

You play Subject 03, taking part in psychological experiments run by a guide with a heart-shaped head. There are four experiments, and the demo lets you play two of them through to the end. The problems, the characters and the other participants’ moves are randomized every time, so each run plays out differently. Your answers determine which of 56 endings you reach.

The first experiment is The Trolley Problem. You choose between sacrificing someone else and taking their place yourself. If you want neither, there is a “rescue” button. Pressing it doesn’t necessarily mean nobody gets hurt.

In the second, Hide-and-Seek, five participants compete for four lockers. The guide is the seeker, and any participant found at the end of five turns dies. Do you give up another participant’s hiding spot to survive, or shield someone and expose yourself?

The full version adds Please Help Me, where you hand out a limited supply of Kindness Points to prisoners, and The Elevator, where you share supplies with the people riding along with you.

Since the other participants act differently every time, the same experiment seems likely to tempt you to try a new answer on each run.

Characters die during the experiments. The Steam store page says injuries are conveyed through the screen going dark, sound effects, and restricted sight and hearing, with no grotesque imagery.
