My Husband is a Stranger

My Husband Is a Stranger is a visual novel in the psychological-romance genre, blending mystery with emotional tension. You play as Yi Winters, a novelist who travels to an island with her husband, Morgan, hoping to heal emotional wounds. However, after a heated argument, Morgan mysteriously disappears. When he returns, his expression, behavior, and voice have all changed—leaving you with one question: Is he really the same man you once knew?

Story & Emotion My Husband Is a Stranger

The story begins with a serious discussion: in case of emergency, you’ll need a boat to leave the island. But Morgan brushes it off, saying, “You could just come with me”, a line that hints at something strange and unfamiliar in him.
You wake up to a quiet morning. Morgan is nowhere to be found. All that remains is the bitter taste of unfinished coffee, a half-empty teacup, a sore throat, and the lingering regret of the argument the night before.
When Morgan returns, he’s distant and cautious, as if he’s not himself. The first unsettling sign: the boat you need to get back to the mainland is gone.
Your conversation is laced with confusion and suspicion. He says he can’t remember what he said last night, then immediately tries to reassure you: “You’re my family. You’re all I have.” But his voice and face make you wonder: is he sincere—or hiding something?

Uncovering Past Wounds

Morgan had a painful childhood: he lost his mother early, lived in several foster homes before finally being adopted.
He once confessed to feeling like he “didn’t belong” as an adopted child. Your love story began in high school, and as adults, you became the family he chose for himself.
Now, the porcelain cup you once built together—your first shared memory—lies shattered, symbolizing the invisible guilt and mistakes of the past.

Key Features of My Husband Is a Stranger

• A fractured marriage with unclear reasons: from arguments to doubt, followed by words that sound loving yet hide something deeper.
• Shifting foundations of memory: keepsakes, matching gifts, and shared experiences now feel unfamiliar and uncertain.
• Deep emotional writing: vivid descriptions of a sore throat, the bitter aftertaste in your mouth, and the empty feeling of sitting alone in the kitchen.
• Warmth with a mask: Morgan still shows care, making tea, cleaning, tending to you, but his smile, eyes, and tone no longer carry the intimacy they once did.

My Husband Is a Stranger is a psychological visual novel that puts you in the shoes of a wife confronting the terrifying thought that the man she loves may have changed—or perhaps was never truly who she thought he was.
