"BFF 2 BAE" is a visual novel centered around lifelong best friends grappling with the challenge of acknowledging their romantic feelings for each other.

Delaney, a college student hailing from Philadelphia, pursues sociology studies in the bustling city of New York. Her leisure hours are often devoted to swimming and engaging in profound discussions with her roommate, Almudena.

Delaney has harbored feelings for her best friend, Kevin, for as long as she can remember. However, she's unsure of his romantic interest in her. To avoid dwelling on her emotions, she decides to go on a date with Stephen, the son of a local pastor.

When Kevin proposes a double date, inviting his teammate, Jade, into the mix, tensions rise unexpectedly. Will the ensuing drama caused by Jade and Stephen disrupt the once harmonious friendship between Delaney and Kevin enough to prompt them to confront their true feelings for each other?
