The Lease is a roommate texting game and interactive story played entirely in your phone's messages, where your choices decide who still trusts you. You just signed a twelve-month lease. Sam is warm, chaotic and has never once paid rent on the day. Dee is precise, quiet and laminates the chore chart. The landlord texts in one-sentence messages that end with a full stop. Sam's partner does not live here but has a key. The neighbour downstairs hears everything and bakes before she complains.
All five have your number. The whole game is your phone.

A comedy about living with people. The joke is always the situation, never the person.
