AWESOME! I want to know more about the original Seto, what happen to him and so, But I know it will take time, I hope you can finish this piece of art.
The start of this is absolutely heartbreaking. And it is THAT much worse than him merely being dead. It's terrible, but terribly well-written. And the sweet moments in your memory makes it infinity worse.
This game truly tugs at your heart-strings.
The design is brilliant as well. You can SEE how the android is not Seto, and yet they are so similar that you have to scroll back to check if that is really true.
It's elegant.
Seto-bot is SO sweet~ ❤️
My only complaint so far is that there is not nearly enough save slots.
It is absolutely cruel to shackle someone with their own consciousness. If you fear your own creation that much, don't create it. If you do create it, don't f***ing chain it down! >_<
For someone who desired to create a dream, she's really unwilling to give in to the dream, even tho that was the whole point with her creation.
I feel the creator of this game managed to hit that perfect sweetspot for The Vally of the Uncanny with this story.
I've played android bf games before, yandere ones even, but it never managed to hit that stage where something is both so human-like and yet ever-so-slightly off from it, so as to hit that "this is kinda freaking me out for absolutely no discernible reason" spot.
VERY skillful writing! And the artwork also adds to that feel. Overall this is excellent work.
Seto-bot is so sweet. So SO sweet~ ❤️
I DO feel the one thing that could have made the story better would be if Seto-bot's POV were removed from the game and only hinted at tho. Perhaps put into a separate game, or a side-story that unlocks after the main story.
It simply reveals too much, which takes away some of the mystery and intrigue of the main story.
Although I DO wonder if you'll wake up some day and find that all the photos of Seto is replaced with photo-manipulated pictures of Seto-bot.
The difference would be minimalistic of course, not enough to truly spot. But enough for your subconcious to overlay your true memories with memories of Seto-bot. Pulling you just slightly more into that dream.
Manipulating someone's memories is not actually that difficult. They're vague and fleeting things to begin with. Few humans ever remember them exactly.
But making you believe he is truly Seto will be tricky. Especially with all those people around you who remember.
The fact that you -want- to believe in it helps tho.
And I look forward to see how skilled at manipulation the creator is (or at least how well they've studied Dark Psychology and the likes, lol) Which will impact the quality of such writing.
Assuming that's the direction the game is going in.
Ultimately tho, this is an absolutely brilliant game!
And I REALLY look forward to see more! ^_^
I also hope it ends up on Steam when it's finished so I can buy it and add it to my collection. ^_^
i dont understand why this comment got mass downvoted.it got solid criticisms, some I agree with, some i dont agree with but still dont deserve that much hate??? is there anything i missed??
DAMN I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH AND ABSOLUTELY CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT UPDATE!!! also the fact that his body wasn't found gives me some hope that maybe he'll show up in the later acts, but that just makes me even sadder for mc who quite literally is living thru each day w the same kind of mindset even tho the chances of him coming back are non existent(lowkey reminds me of the plot of astro boy AND THAT MOVIE SHATTERED ME AS A CHILD)
Finally got to playing the game! I'm fascinated by this highly unethical situation that MC has made for themself (I mean that genuinely, since it's such an interesting idea; I both feel terribly sorry for android Seto and a bit repulsed by him). I'll be looking out for the next update! c:
LOVE IT SM THE ART, PLOT, AND EVERYTHING. I’m especially more hyped ever since I realized you were that one tiktoker and YouTuber with the immaculate recommendations! Keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing more of your work!!
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Could you please give a detailed explanation of how this bug occurred so I can try and recreate it. Thank you.
Thank you for letting us know and sorry for the trouble! We aren't quite sure what the issue is yet as we haven't seen this before but Buku is investigating! Hopefully we have a solution for this really soon!
Not sure if this will help or maybe the issue has already been solved, but maybe try changing the renderer. Not sure what you're using, but try pressing shift and G to bring up your graphics menu, change the renderer, and then restart the game. It might help.
Thank you so much for suggesting this and for helping! Our programmer was trying to peep through the code but was struggling to find something. Thank you for helping and if this occurs again we will suggest what you posted to those folks too! <3
I actually liked this a lot! I've played a couple of Yandere visual novels but this one is unique. For instance throughout my gameplay, i couldn't help but feel IMMENSELY uncomfortable with Seto (android). The contrast between Seto (android) and Seto (human) almost made me yearn for human Seto to be on screen more.
Also just wanted to add, at first I was annoyed that we didn't get to know much about the human Seto before meeting android Seto, but now I only think thinks ADDED to the story. Android Seto is not our husband and basically another character separate from our husband. So there is still a sense of distrust we, the player, feel when Seto (android) comes to life!
The game really puts you in the perspective of someone watching a Widow yearn for their deceased lover to the point that they'll take any resemblance of that previous love. The music also adds to that sense of danger/dread with some off notes it really enhances the gameplay! In all, I highly recommend this to anyone who loves a dark romance with a HIGH sense of dead and angst!
omg this is sooo good. I love the art, soundtrack, VAs, everything. The writing is top tier and I was feeling every emotion. So excited to follow this game.
I love it so much omg!!! I'm so excited for act 2. Actually already obsessed with the story and Seto, got super sad when act 1 ended. ITS AMAZING!! plus the nsfw scene was CHEFS KISS AND SO IS ALL THE AUDIO!! I jammed out to the title screen, the ost when he got upset, ITS IMMACULATE!!! keep up the good work! We're all excited for act 2. Hell even my alters enjoyed the game, which is rare we all have different taste in games
This game is clearly a labor of love. The music is fantastic, the art, the writing and whatever is voice acted is all on point. Really looking forward to act2!
I finally finished the game and WHEWWWWW this man is going to be the death of me. I am obsessed with him. He is probably the best yandere that I've seen. His possessiveness and love for the player is so raw. The NSFW scene???? Got me so flustered and wanting more. His touch of manipulation towards the end is so subtle but powerful. The player doesn't catch it but WE do which adds to the tension and suspense. The game has a perfect mix of romance and horror. AAAAHHHHH I LOVE SETO SO MUCH <3333 I also really love the other characters! Maki is too cute <3 Her voice and appearance match so well together
amazing game so far, can't wait to spend more time with Seto, got to love me a yandere, and an obsessive AI yandere? a really hot one at that? I would 100% just let him take care of me forever, 10/10 would smooch that man :)
He's Just Away is a fantastic piece of science fiction mixed with dark romance that leaves the player with genuine moral dilemmas throughout the experience.
Beyond its beautiful aesthetic, the game truly shines through the morsels of worldbuilding and characterisation that we're provided during the first act itself. A lot of thought has been put into these aspects, but it doesn't lessen the impact of the grief and confusion we're left with as we're dealing with the consequences of the player characters actions and circumstances.
What truly sealed my personal rating of this game is the characterisation of SETO. He's not your run off the mill murderboy with beautiful locks, but he represents the possibility of harm AI could possess if allowed to "complete their objective" without the proper safeguards in place.
This is definitely a game to look out for, not just for otome lovers, but also for science fiction fans alike.
Amazing game! I truly loved it so much ! I can't wait to see the full game. The voice acting was phenomenal. I just can't describe the feeling I had for the game.
Wow it was really good, I liked how everything is so detailed and how the story develops slowly without forcing anything, a really nice design to see, I love Seto in both facets, although well the android is a little crazy.
Meu deus, esse é um dos melhores jogos que eu achei nessa plataforma. A tensão da história está tão bem escrita que eu nem consegui tirar os olhos da tela do meu computador. Mal posso esperar pelo Ato 2.
Thanks for asking! Unfortunately, not right now, as we haven't explored an android build yet as we don't have someone with knowledge to make it compatible. Hopefully in the future we will be able to.
Thank you for playing and the kind words!! It is not! His design was inspired by Muqing and Shi Wudu from TGCF 🥹. Specifically the donghua version of Muqing and the audio drama ver of Shi Wudu! During the concept stages I was in a heavy wuxia phase 😈
Oh my stars I really enjoyed playing this game! It had me feeling so bad for the mc! Then here comes Seto-droid and my brain goes on a emotional rollercoaster! I cant wait to play more!!! 💖
I downloaded the game around a day or two after it was released, and since then this game has plagued my mind every day since, prompting me to go and play it again if I can.
This story haunts me in the best way, as it always does with 'I was made to love you' stories.
The MC is tremendously depressed, and is doing their best, even if it is to the detriment of themselves and their work.
The loss of the original Seto, along with the inability to locate his body, is a huge gaping hole in their life, and why wouldn't it be?
You think Highschool Sweethearts are plenty entangled, but I'm sure it's even more heinously difficult with Middleschool Sweethearts of all things!
He's been by the MC's side since before either of them really hit puberty, they were a 1 in a billion chance of working out, and even when they did, even when they triumphed in such a way, there was still a parting that neither of them were anticipating.
Android Seto is perfect in one sense, even if he's not a perfect replicate.
He's the perfect possessor, as it's going to be extremely difficult for the MC to pull from him when he looks and acts to much like their dead husband, and as hinted for the future, might become more like him as he memorized any turns of phrase and mannerisms he had.
(When he called the MC Moonlight instead of Starlight, of course it shows the difference in the both of them- but it really showed me right off the bat he didn't consider himself as the real Seto, if he did, then he would have simply mimicked the original nickname instead of giving a close one and twisting the knife.
In my opinion anyways.)
The soundtrack was a nice backdrop, the backgrounds were futuristic and makes me want to see more from this world, and the sprites are very nice!
I especially like Maki, she seems so nice, and like she doesn't really take shit from anyone when push comes to shove, it must have been a bit world-turning when the Android wearing the face f her dead friend just simply appeared out of nowhere for her.
The writing is amazing and I can't wait to see more, thank you, I'll definitely keep an eye out for future updates, I'm already hungry for more!
Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm such a sucker for stories that give a "I was made to love you" and "You were my best friend in this life and I hope in the next one after" vibe!
So I really wanted to explore what would happen if a pair like that was tragically broken up and the person left behind wasn't even able to get closure.
I was really worried at first the people would dislike MC but it makes me really happy to see comments like yours showing empathy, kindness and love towards them. They're genuinely just struggling and it's upsetting that their friends are so worried about them but they're isolating themselves. Because that's just how grief is sometimes.
And thank you for your comments on android Seto! When I was writing him I was thinking as well, that he really is MC's worst nightmare. Because MC is powerless at the moment psychologically against him, and is struggling mentally so much, they're in an incredibly vulnerable position and Android Seto absolutely knows this.
I'm hoping in act 2, we'll add a computer interface with some lore files! So you'll be able to read up more about the world itself and what project Heaven actually is!
And I love Maki! I really love her. I think out of all the characters she really is my favourite. Steadfast, loyal and strong. She's really someone I could love and admire!
Thank you again for the review! This was my first serious work and to see it so loved makes it feel so so special <3
I accidentally deleted my post so I'm rewriting it again T-T
Just finished Act One and damn, all I can say is this game is about to go crazy. The visuals and characters were stunning! And the OST was amazing. SOLID 10/10. Not only was I immersed in the story, but this is one of the few games where I actually emphasize with the MC. Seeing them going through denial, all their memories with Seto and seeing how much they loved each other was heartbreaking to sit through. The VA for Seto made it even more emotional for me. Like I couldn't be completely mad with the MC because grieving is a difficult process and it's different for everyone. This is also one of the few yanderes where I actually feel scared about. Don't get me wrong, both Setos are hot af but android Seto made me feel uneasy every time he was on screen. When his eyes turn purple and when he called us "Starlight", I felt my stomach DROP. And that ending made me go "Oh Shit. We're in trouble." Overall, everyone on the team did an amazing job. Can't wait for more.
*Side Note but this game reminds me a lot of the Black Mirror episode "Be Right Back". Very similar concept and I remember being depressed after watching it T-T
Thank you so much for the review! I'm so glad you loved the art and OST! The team did such an incredible job.
I really appreciate the sympathy you have for MC too! Honestly I feel almost guilty for putting them through this :(.
I feel like it's a little cruel of me, but I always rejoice when people say Seto is scary xD. Because I did really intend to make him scary. Not outrightly violent or angry or anything, but insidiously, like a viscous seeping sludge. So you don't know what's happened until it's a bit too late.
I haven't watched Black Mirror in so long but ended up checking it out when you mentioned it! I cried lots :c I actually really enjoy Domnhall Gleeson's acting and think he did wonderfully in that!
Thanks so much for the development of this game T-T usually i seperate myself from the MC in the story but wow i felt so immersed in this VN that i started feeling MC's emotions idk what it is but the characters here have soul? yk i miss Seto help-
You're welcome and thank you so much for playing! It makes me really happy that you loved the characters and found them relatable! And don't worry, Seto will be back soon >:)

AWESOME! I want to know more about the original Seto, what happen to him and so, But I know it will take time, I hope you can finish this piece of art.

please
Depends gurl whatcha into?
AFDJBCYUGEGBICCYUGEB CAN"T WIAT FOR THE NEXT UPDATE!!!!!

ALSO LOVED HONEY TRAP AS WELL
AHH i loved it!Cant wait for part 2, really hope there will be a happy ending with the robot seto. Idk i adore him
Finally got to playing the game! I'm fascinated by this highly unethical situation that MC has made for themself (I mean that genuinely, since it's such an interesting idea; I both feel terribly sorry for android Seto and a bit repulsed by him). I'll be looking out for the next update! c:

Hii i keep seeing this bug, can someone tell me how to fix it?
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Could you please give a detailed explanation of how this bug occurred so I can try and recreate it. Thank you.
Oh I am not sure, i downloaded the game and its been a problem since. WIth every single sprite. Here is another example
Thank you for letting us know and sorry for the trouble! We aren't quite sure what the issue is yet as we haven't seen this before but Buku is investigating! Hopefully we have a solution for this really soon!
Apparently, the issue was an incorrect renderer. Lucky guess, admittedly, but Xerxes is able to play it now.
Not sure if this will help or maybe the issue has already been solved, but maybe try changing the renderer. Not sure what you're using, but try pressing shift and G to bring up your graphics menu, change the renderer, and then restart the game. It might help.
Okay so I tried doing what you said and it worked! Thank you a lot!
I'm glad it worked! c:
Thank you so much for suggesting this and for helping! Our programmer was trying to peep through the code but was struggling to find something. Thank you for helping and if this occurs again we will suggest what you posted to those folks too! <3
No problem! It was a bit of troubleshooting I learned from a game I've been beta testing on. I'm glad it could help.
OMG this was so good genuinely, i cant wait for when theres an act 2

THIS IS SO FIREEEE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
im ready to sacrifice an arm and a leg to play through this peak on release. you could make this $80 I'd still buy it.
?£?£? the story is so intriguing???? android seto my baby i love you rrgrg
I love it so much omg!!! I'm so excited for act 2. Actually already obsessed with the story and Seto, got super sad when act 1 ended. ITS AMAZING!! plus the nsfw scene was CHEFS KISS AND SO IS ALL THE AUDIO!! I jammed out to the title screen, the ost when he got upset, ITS IMMACULATE!!! keep up the good work! We're all excited for act 2. Hell even my alters enjoyed the game, which is rare we all have different taste in games
Edit: forgot to mention I love your art!!!

dude i cant get past the main menu cuz the song is such a BANGER. literally been jamming tf out for the past 10 minutes
Aa! Thank you! Gisula really popped off with the OST. If you'd like a repeatable version, here is the spotify link! https://open.spotify.com/track/66ufAyunooBRQEzWYV2fat?si=eceee572cb254aa7
Omg yes thank you!
same, the main menu got me making sad scenarios in my head ;-; (but I still jam).
amazing game so far, can't wait to spend more time with Seto, got to love me a yandere, and an obsessive AI yandere? a really hot one at that? I would 100% just let him take care of me forever, 10/10 would smooch that man :)
The way I agree with you so hard (I would sell my soul for one)
Gave this a whirl.. really liked it! Android yandere is definitely new territory for me.
I'm invested. I look forward to the next act!

BRUH THAT GAME IS SO FUCKING HOT!!!????!?!?! when is part 2????!?!?!?!? TTtTteEeEeeEelLlLL mMmmMmEeEeeEe!!!!!
I'm absolutely obsessed with this, I'm gripping my chair eagerly waiting for more AAAAAAA
Can't wait for Act 2!! Like i was already expecting what seto will do in the last scene but still it shocks me
Amazing game! I truly loved it so much ! I can't wait to see the full game. The voice acting was phenomenal. I just can't describe the feeling I had for the game.
I loved this, seriously can’t wait for Act 2! registered just to leave this comment because it was so good haha.
ME TOO
Wow it was really good, I liked how everything is so detailed and how the story develops slowly without forcing anything, a really nice design to see, I love Seto in both facets, although well the android is a little crazy.
Android indeed dangerous
Meu deus, esse é um dos melhores jogos que eu achei nessa plataforma. A tensão da história está tão bem escrita que eu nem consegui tirar os olhos da tela do meu computador. Mal posso esperar pelo Ato 2.
I am curious if you guys are gonna make a android ver
Thanks for asking! Unfortunately, not right now, as we haven't explored an android build yet as we don't have someone with knowledge to make it compatible. Hopefully in the future we will be able to.
OMG I LOVED THIS SM!!also loving the fact that hes inspired by my favs in tgcf😻😻 this game is so underrated
ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT OMGGGG. Is his character design inspired by Geto perchance?
Thank you for playing and the kind words!! It is not! His design was inspired by Muqing and Shi Wudu from TGCF 🥹. Specifically the donghua version of Muqing and the audio drama ver of Shi Wudu! During the concept stages I was in a heavy wuxia phase 😈
Side note from the Sprite Artist: His green jacket look was inspired by Mamoru in the original Sailor Moon anime! What a fashion icon
poor mc , I wish could hug them and amazing job and huge fan of NSFW and music to it just makes want to dance XD
Thank you for playing! I really wish I could give them a hug too :c. I'm happy you enjoyed the soundtrack!
I can make you a version in Spanish, if you want
Thank you so much for playing and sharing a video! I loved seeing your reactions and I hope to bring you Act 2 soon!

mmm<333
heh he became like toji with his eyes 😂
I wish that I can say he is cute but daaamn he is the devil himself
thanksooooo💋
Thank you for playing! He is adorable and very handsome honestly, but that man is sinister xD
I accidentally deleted my post so I'm rewriting it again T-T

*Side Note but this game reminds me a lot of the Black Mirror episode "Be Right Back". Very similar concept and I remember being depressed after watching it T-T
Thank you so much for the review! I'm so glad you loved the art and OST! The team did such an incredible job.
I really appreciate the sympathy you have for MC too! Honestly I feel almost guilty for putting them through this :(.
I feel like it's a little cruel of me, but I always rejoice when people say Seto is scary xD. Because I did really intend to make him scary. Not outrightly violent or angry or anything, but insidiously, like a viscous seeping sludge. So you don't know what's happened until it's a bit too late.
I haven't watched Black Mirror in so long but ended up checking it out when you mentioned it! I cried lots :c I actually really enjoy Domnhall Gleeson's acting and think he did wonderfully in that!
Thanks so much for the development of this game T-T usually i seperate myself from the MC in the story but wow i felt so immersed in this VN that i started feeling MC's emotions idk what it is but the characters here have soul? yk i miss Seto help-
You're welcome and thank you so much for playing! It makes me really happy that you loved the characters and found them relatable! And don't worry, Seto will be back soon >:)
OMG this is so amazing! Can't wait to see more!!!
Beside I want both of Setos, wish I can handle! =D(walking into horny jail)
Thank you for playing! I'm glad you liked them!
I also... want both Seto's haha. Maybe human seto more though.
