Being Known is a letter-writing game that explores the relationship between two strangers, as they get to know each other, trust each other, loathe each other, while never knowing what's truly going on in the other person's head. 

Will they sort things out? More importantly, should they?

Additionally, this game is a hack of Annie Johnston-Glick's incredible Beyond Reach, a letter-writing game about the distance between a mech and their pilot, speaking only through small gestures while unable to communicate their true feelings. 

Being Known, innovatingly, is about a couple in the normal world who try, but cannot quite communicate those same feelings to each other until it's, perhaps, too late.
