Social Anxiety Survival Horror. You're a guy at a friend's party trying to avoid conversations while putting in an appearance with your friend so they know you were here. You can deflect conversations with small talk you pick up by eavesdropping, but it won't work on drunk people, so you also need to run and hide. Your ex-partner eventually shows up and is hunting you down to have a frank conversation about your relationship, which is instant game over.

I would love to buy this game on sale and never get around to playing it.

I had a very similar idea but it's about avoiding contact and conversation out on the street and on public transportation. May or may not be influenced by real life experience.

You can checkout https://store.steampowered.com/app/1392820/Milk_inside_a_bag_of_milk_inside_a_bag_of_milk/ - it’s not that but it’s a somewhat similar thing

I haven't played it - and the "social anxiety as horror"-slant feels more metaphorical than literal in its marketing - but this makes me think of the game "Homebody" a bit
