"Your body is foreign territory": Small-town mystery puzzler Patience is a Virtue explores power and vulnerability by way of a unique conversation system

Patience is a Virtue is a "cozy-meets-creepy" conversation puzzle game from teaisfortoby! in which some interactions require players to answer using only the words spoken by the other party. Protagonist Louis is chronically ill and neurodivergent, and the constrained dialogue reflects his lack of privilege, including a distressing hospital check-up scene. The full game is built around a supernatural mystery involving a cassette tape, with no release date announced.
