About this game Read the full description

See how an unvoluntary part-time detective assistant of unknown origin modifies minds on a daily basis, humors his boss, keeps his roommate like a cat and hunts down his official love interest half-heartedly in this BL visual novel.

The year is 2079. More than two decades have passed since the AI bubble burst, leaving behind a world where strong AI research is strictly outlawed. But during a live reality show, A bold claim is made—someone among them isn't human, but AI! Some scoff, some seize the moment for attention, and Lucas, a part-time delivery worker, is just an unlucky bystander caught in the chaos—or is he?

Secretly possessing a mind-altering ability hasn’t made Lucas’s life any easier. Two years into adulthood, he remains trapped in the same struggle: jumping between jobs, barely making ends meet, and unable to to move on from the ghosts of his past. Worse still, he may have just landed himself in serious trouble. Maybe it’s time to start pruning his life.

  • Main character. A smooth liar, a mind reader, and a psychic.

  • A roommate and childhood friend, being a dropout but dreaming to design the first AGI in the world.

  • A nosy detective from an AI regulatory authority who knows a little too much.

  • A famous tech upstart, founder of a robotics company.

  • 3 romanceable characters, 3 branching storylines, leading to 15 impossible endings with 4 happy endings (really?) and 1 true ending.

  • Not entering a route, but exiting one. You must help the protagonist let go of unnecessary characters to step into a personal route.

  • Around 12 hours of gameplay to full achievement.

  • Much drama, little romance.

  • Toggleable built-in guides and story flowchart
