Overview
Never Trust a Fox plunges players into the increasingly unsettling life of Kylie, a woman whose existence has become a monotonous cycle of a demanding job, a harsh boss, and chronic sleep deprivation. Her only solace is found in quiet evenings with a bottle of whiskey. This fragile peace is shattered with the arrival of Rin, her mother's friend's daughter, who is on the verge of dropping out of college. Rin's disruptive presence, marked by her neglect of studies, frequent nightclub visits, and a penchant for provoking Kylie while invading her personal space, initially seems like mere personality clashes.
However, as the two women share living quarters, Rin's behavior takes a disturbing and peculiar turn, revealing a self-destructive streak that borders on obsession. Players will navigate this escalating psychological drama, making choices that shape Kylie's experience and potentially her sanity.
