"We do not 'come into' this world; rather, we come out of it, like leaves on a tree."

In the 2040s, advancements in artificial intelligence have blurred the boundaries between man and machine. Algorithms, computers, and software have all been optimized to the point of understanding individuals more than they do themselves. This technology re-sculpts one's identity, while keeping the individual unaware of their transformation.

As a new student at the prestigious Wattasu University, you and your classmates wrestle with this notion, and seek to discover and define their authentic selves - outside of the pervasive influence of technology.

Will you rediscover your humanity and find love along the way?

Love Cypher is a standalone R-18 Visual Novel illustrated by me, David L,  and features sci-fi ideas and themes I have found philosophically compelling. Sources of inspiration include Alan Watts, Buddhism, Hinduism, theories of the mind and self, and the works of Isaac Asimov. 

Growing up, I was drawn to art, comics, anime, and telling stories. From DM-ing D&D campaigns, to creating my own tarot card deck, I've always loved creating worlds in miniature. As such, making my own game and creating a Visual Novel has turned out to be an ideal fit. Thank you for joining me on this adventure!

Please take note that this is an alpha demo of only the first 30 minutes of gameplay; everything is still a work-in-progress and may change in the final game. If you encounter any problems or bugs, please let me know!

**KNOWN BUGS**

---When saving, be wary that if you save before text has finished going across the textbox, that file will fail to load correctly. 

---Volume and Speed bars are a little sticky, try clicking and dragging in a different location to refresh them

---Fast-forward has been disabled for breaking the game

---A black screen doesn't mean that the game has broken, just that it's loading the next scene

**NOTES**

---Adult content has not been implemented into the demo, as those scenes occur later in the story, and the demo is only the first 30 minutes of gameplay.

---Thank you for playing - please share your thoughts with me so we can make a great game together!

hi, has this game abandoned?

Just on hiatus - I'm working on other projects at the moment and would like to return to this at some point, I just don't know when. :/

oh good to know! good work then! i was just asking cause is a great game and i didn't see any upgrade over a year

An easy-going introduction to a futuristic yet somehow natural setting structured by concise fine points offering thought-provoking details as well as humour and romance.

The whole is aesthetically pleasing to the eyes, and you can straight away perceive the passion that was put into this title by viewing all the little details in Love Cypher.

You can read more about it in my review (https://gyepitypes.wordpress.com/2022/04/19/videogame-reviews-love-cypher-demo/)

Please consider a Linux or Android version; would be a shame to miss this one.

I think I should be able to build it for Ubuntu! I'll see if I can find a way to quality-test it~

Really appreciate the effort. 

Ok so this game should get game of the the year award hands down. Great Characters, story and graphics. 

Can't wait for the next update.

You're so kind! I'm looking forward to making a game everyone can enjoy~

Be sure to spread the word about the Kickstarter to help support the project! ;P

Is there a away you can make Patreon? Cause I would hate to see this game go to waste? if you don't reach your goal?

Yeah.. Kickstarter support has really tanked these past few days (1-2 pledges a day). I'll need to think of some sort of alternative if the project doesn't make it. :(

(1 edit)

If you make a Patreon i will subscribe man. Also I can see if some other small creatures I know can help you out. 

two thumbs up and i aint even played

this is really good, love the art style

Thanks so much for saying so!

Wow, I downloaded this game at a speed of 200kb/s, and I'm happy. I will be waiting for the new version

I'm excited to get it to you! I'm glad you liked the demo :)
