Hello~!

This is a short and sweet experience, as part of a larger project I would love to make! It's your last year of high school, and you're about to make a big decision for your future... Who will you choose to be your lab partner?!

There's Haruka, the fiery runner! Aiko, the intelligent leader! Kana, the silly sweetheart! And Yumi, the mute snarker! And don't forget you! There's no one else beyond you, after all.

It's all on you!

Early Access: The game is currently only a demo! Bugs may occur! Please let me know if they happen! We're currently on 1.1.06 (updated as of 24/07/2019) . Future updates will be quality of life, and no major updates have been officially confirmed yet. We're looking into an official artist, background artist and musician for the game, so keep an eye out for a potential KickStarter!

02/08/2019  > 1.1.08: This update is more general quality of life for the project; the art (by Dai_Dai_Iro) is almost finished, and the music (by Jan Hehr) has a solid foundation. I've included one of the projected backgrounds (the library & science classrooms) by @fuyunokawa_art on Twitter! As well as a bedroom background by FoxLeos on deviantART. Day Zero thru part of Day Four are out; there's still more to the story, but it's mostly in the way of art assets and more meat of the story.

02/04/2019  > 1.1.05: Day Zero, Day One and now Day Two! But it's a good introduction to the girls who'll accompany you!

21/03/2019 > 1.0.04: Tech demo -- keeping up for posterity! It's buggy and a little broken so caution when playing. :3

There is no CGs implemented at the moment! The majority of this game was developed in five days, for NaNoRenO2019, using free assets.

pls pls let this be picked back up one day...

Eu não tenho a minima ideia se esse jogo pode ou não ser uma cópia de outro jogo.

(+1)

Não é, foi inspirado pelo DDLC mas também é único na sua própria maneira.

(+3)

I genuinely hope this project is picked back up one day... 

(+1)

knew the creator initially from "Console Her" on Webtoon (which if you haven't you should read it it is so cute) I know they are very talented and have been searching for LGBTQ+ visual novels, can't wait to play! Thank you to everyone involved for your hard wok and for sharing your artistry :D

(+1)

don't mind me jsut casually getting fixated on this game

(+2)

this game had alot of potential i would love to see it finished in the future but for now i will say rip to the gam

Me paying respects to Beyond You, the VN that could have been the next big thing in Visual novels D=

What kind of game?

circuits game

Nice =D

Just coming around to pay my respects to the game

To everyone asking: Yes the game is currently cancelled but can come back if the creator ever wishes so but don't keep your hopes up. The Discord has been deleted and the creator (HexVexed) has turned into other projects of her own.

I am not a creator or dev or the game just a long time fan that wanted to clear the confusion.

(+1)

God damn it, I was concerned this would happen. Thanks for saying so. HexVexed is actually AIcandii now just so you know. Basicly inside i'm crying D=

Does anyone get the feeling this game will never release?

(-1)

Hey AICANDII, have any ideas on when the full game will release?

(+1)(-1)

Will this game ever get finished?

And is it canceled?

Okay, so I noticed a few things! Spoilers, of course, so do not continue on if you haven't completed the demo! You have been warned!!

Okay! So! First of all, has anyone noticed that the glitchy figure looks a whole lot like one of the avatars you can choose in the group chat?? And second, I noticed that Aila's name looks almost like Talia, but scrambled and without the T. But if you look at her name when texting her, you're able to spell out Talia with the letters! I'm not sure how many of you readers know about the Talia theory, but here's a very brief explanation. If you go into your files and find the character files, all of them besides Kana's says something like 

run ('AI LAT')

pass

if AI LAT >= 20^9TB

end

terminate

See the thing that says "AI LAT?" Spelled backwards, it becomes Talia! Also, there's a file called atriumph.txt that just says "ai l a t t¸????_??r??????a??_n?s????_??f????e????????r???_?? ????s????????u?_?c????????c_????e??s????????s??????fu??l???? ??????" If you remove everything beside the letters, you'll be left with "ailat transfer successful." That's the surface of the theory, I'll let you guys look into it yourselves! Anyway, that's about all I wanted to say on that matter. 

I've been here since the first released version of the demo, and I have got to say, S O much progress has been made on this!! It looks absolutely amazing! I did see a couple of odd things, of course, but that's to be expected in a demo. For example, when Aiko yells in the classroom, she has a sprite (which I only saw once in my entire time playing) where her eyes are closed, her brows are furrowed and her mouth is opened as if she's shouting. You can still see the bottom lashes of opened eyes positioned under the closed eyes. So, yeah, just some small things, mostly spelling errors. Still amazing, though!! The story has me hooked, and the characters are so unique and hard to choose between. I really appreciate that Kana's Dissociative Identity Disorder seems well researched, something that's hard to find in other stories. Overall, great work!! I wish you luck for the future of this game, and I look forward to further updates!

Oh, and if help is ever needed, I would love for skills of mine to be able to contribute to such an amazing project! I don't expect to be approached and asked if I can help, I'm just saying that if it's ever made public that help is needed (if it has been, I haven't seen it, but I will be looking after this), I'll absolutely and gladly offer my skills!

SPOILERS!!

Absolutely spooked! Amazing game, shocked by the boundries this game pushed going to limits of reading your computer name in a renpy software. Can't wait to see more of this!!

Start the game, click "Prefs", click "Return", and see what happened to the menubar(Linux).

WHAT I have found really weird at the atriumph.txt it has an secret world that says transfer successful its really weird the question is what is transferring and why? and where I guess this is am mystery unsolved

(+1)

just found and script of yummy ai change it to txt k heres the script 

{/////....*****safety initiated.

persistent.yumi:

{ if.active = True

check.File("/ai/yumi.ai")

if Located("/ai/yumi.ai")

elif Missing("/ai/yumi.ai"):

run ('neuralnexisai.beyondyou')

run ('AI LAT')

pass

if AI LAT >= 20^20TB

end

terminate

}

what I have found something REALLLY WEIRD I have changed the mutual NDA.lies TO mutual nda.pdf and I was really really weird that I have found something secretly

why cant i download the 1.1.08 pc ver it always says download forbidden?

I'm guessing the project is still on hiatus. I hope you continue, but if you lost interest I understand. It wouldn't hurt for an update on here or at least confirmation of what's been happening though. I've had my eye on it for a long time. I'm still in the amino. However, it doesn't seem like anything is really happening. I saw that you answered a comment 4 months ago, so I'm not giving up on the game just yet. You haven't posted on your youtube and I've been off Twitter so sorry if something was said there. I hope I'm not coming off as rude or anything. It's just that there are still a few of us questioning about the game and if it's canceled or not.

(+4)

I've been working on the project on the back end for a while. ^^ Updates soon hopefully.

Is this project cancelled? This was one of my favorite things, and there hasn't been any talk about it for, like, years. I understand wanting to not update something you lost interest in, but there hasn't been any updates about it or anything.

Not canceled! Just working on funding and other projects but AAA will be back soon hopefully.

Thank you for responding!!! That's totally fair. I hope to see your successes in the future! Sorry if I seemed harsh in my initial comment.

I am once again here from your webtoon, but this time to congratulate you on getting featured!!!I'm so happy for u!!! Thank you for all ur creations

umm hey i kinda opended up the wrong thing i think is the broken version where they acuse you of everyhing i dont know yet im  new so..

...The original author is still there? ?OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Hey, does this game have explicit content? I'd like to play it, I just want to make sure there's nothing too graphic (violence is fine)

No, nothing explicit!! ^^ Not even really violence. Flashing images and dark themes, sure, but nothing visual nor discussed in too much detail.

(+1)

Just finished playing a few days ago. I just wanted to say that this is a fantastic experience, and has the potential to be as good as (if not better than) DDLC. I really hope you continue working on it, as it looks very promising from the demo

Show post...

is it just me or.. am im i getting doki doki vibes-

(+1)

I'm pretty sure its inspired off ddlc and stuff like that but yea big doki doki vibes qwq

(+2)
