Between Humanity
Between Humanity is a story driven novel which takes you on a journey into a potential future that borders on dystopia. Set just five years ahead, you, as the protagonist, were just an ordinary student until one day you wake up in a hospital room.
All memories of why you ended up there are blurred in the depths of your mind. But as soon as you try to go back to your daily life, you realize that something is fundamentally different. You are invited to live in your best friend's house, where you will also be sharing the space with her mother and sister, each of whom has their own set of problems and daily struggles. What could possibly go wrong with that?
With every decision you make, you not only change your own life but also that of your friends and loved ones. It's in your hands which game you want to play.

Great game, I tried downloading City Devil but it didn’t work. Out of any interactive porn game I can access this one was definitely the best. You did amazing designing the twins, they just made me rlly horny, in chapter 4 is the guy going to fuck them yet, bc I saw you’ve been working on this for about a year or so based on the replies you had in comments a long time ago saying you were working on it. Also I know you’re a solo developer but do you make any money off of this game? If not you should consider doing r34/porn on Reddit and getting paid to draw nsfw, no joke you have insane skill.
Hey there, thank you and glad you like the game! I'm working in my spare time on it, I make some money off it, but it's not enough to go part or full time on my day job, so it takes a lot of time to develop. I don't want to do only porn, that's not my cuppa, instead I like the story aspect with the adult parts combined :)
Great game i loved the story and the characters keep it up cant wait for ur next update
Thank you very much! Working hard to deliver Chapter 4!
Your welcome looking forward to chapter 4
i just started the game and wdm there is a dr stone reference, or is it just a coincidence?
There are a lot of references and this is one, yeah :D
I am alive.. not sure when I will be able to return to discord.. just wanted you guys to know Pandy :pandacultlove:
Hey Val, take your time, we won't go anywhere. <3
I have to admit, I didn't expect to fall in love with this game's story. It's absolutely fabulous. Although I haven't played many visual novels yet, from those I have played this one is by far the best, and by a mile. The story is captivating and has meaning, the characters develop over time, there's so many relatable comments and situations as well as references. I absolutely adore this. And that's not to mention that it has hot girls in it.
I give this game a 10/10 and my humble few wishes are, that this game will be finished once and also that
I'd be able to sleep with Lucy and Anya at the same timethe developer continues to have such great ideas. :)Astonishing work Panda! Thanks for creating such a great game.
Happy to read, thank you very much! :) Always nice to read when people like the approach where you develop relationships, they're all very different and I put quite some thought and effort in creating a fitting relationship path for everyone. I'll give it my best in the future as well, Chapter 4 isn't that far anymore!
la historia esta genial, la historia me atrapo y lucy me enamoro jaja, para cuando sale la continuación? necesito saberlo!
¡Muchas gracias, Lucy es una de las mejores! :) Ya volví a trabajar en el proyecto después de haber estado enfermo/a durante una semana. La actualización saldrá en las primeras etapas del próximo año.
Dios, me encantó los gráficos en sí la historia te engancha y el detalle de poder jugar play con los personajes me gustó bastante, ya quiero saber más de lo que pasó, me intriga el pasado del prota y el saber que pasó en ese accidente, yo sola ya hacia mis teorías y la vrd me sorprendió ver qué la chica seguía viva fue inesperado porque había creído que la hicieron robot jajaja
¡Muchas gracias! Me alegra mucho que hayas disfrutado de los gráficos y que la historia haya logrado engancharte. Siempre es genial saber que la gente crea sus propias teorías, eso es exactamente el tipo de reacción que espero. Se revelará más sobre el pasado y el accidente muy pronto!
Love the game so far , the story is dark , complicated yet fun at the same time. I can't wait for more and to understand what is going on haha but great work so far ! Also Anya is the best can't wait for more of her !
Thank you very much, happy to hear that you still enjoy it! :) Anya is great for sure!
The story’s still kinda confusing right now, but I bet there’s gonna be a shocking follow-up—this is so cool, and I’m stoked to see what happens next! This is totally not some ordinary accident, and I hope the truth comes out soon. Keep it up!
Not going to lie, I can totally see why it's like that. Don't worry though, future updates will solve some mysteries and bring light into everything, you just have to be patient enough. Glad you like it otherwise and I'm working on more! :)
hey man just wanted to say it's a really good game with storyline. As an artist myself I loved how you gave suspense at the end and the cliffhanger. Also, please add some sex scenes not only bjs or some foreplay at least it keeps the audience engaged I know everyone would love to see a bigger gallery with some steaming scenes. Keep going man waiting for the upcoming versions and good storyline just don't leave the development in middle for some reason. Full Support other than that
Thank you very much, appreciate the nice words! I'll definitely add more sex throughout the game, don't worry. I just want it to be fitting for the respective characters and believable. I don't like sex without proper build-up or reasoning.
Never thought I'd see the day that a visual novel would have a VICE GRIP on my attention for it. Genuinely cannot wait to get back into this. Been waiting since I played through ver.0.3.3 months ago. 😊
Happy to hear, thank you very much! Working steadily on more content. :)
I finally got around to playing the newest version, and I have to say, it was quite an improvement! The dialogue flowed better and the pacing improved a lot. Definitely earned an upgrade in my rating!
Hope it keeps going like this!
Hey there, thank you very much! :) Glad to see myself improving over time and people enjoying the game more.

Guys are you all waiting for chapter 4??
Yes! :D
niceeee. i like the love story. so pure. Oh my Lucy the best. but bit was excited to have more intercourse but ay patience is the key for success.
Thank you! Yeah, you need to have a bit more patience, slowly building up the relationships first, at least with some of them ;)
Love the game so far, can't wait to play future updates!
Happy to hear, thank you, working on more! :)
Didn't knew imma like this game that much but... Damn man, the game is amazing! Love the characters and also all the dialogies! Im interested whats gonna happen between my character and Lilith cuz damn, things are pretty weird now. Also Jade is fs one of a kind weirdo but i actually mostly love her as a character. 10/10 game, hope we see updates as soon as possible!🤝
Very happy to hear, thank you very much!! Working steadily on more content, quality takes time though. Jade is awesome, in her own way, imo :D
So much detail and love put in this game crazy good
Thank you very much! :)
does my guy keep the sex bot, or is it gone forever?
She won't be gone forever, don't worry!
Can't wait for 0.4. Lots of LIs, great visuals, good story, definitely walking the path of being one of the big ones
Thank you very much! Working on more!
is the game also have only 3 chapters till now? i played the web version to try hows the game, and finished till chap 3, the story is lit, i wanted to ask if the web ver and the actual game has same number of chapter or the game is more update
Hey there, happy to hear that you like it so far! Yes, web version is the full game, just lower quality. I'm working on Chapter 4 at the moment, check out the development logs if you like!
Just gonna ask, but you aren't planning some weird creep shit with Mia and her mom's boyfriend are you? Only thing i can think of for her living in a different town with her moms boyfriend. Just a weird direction to go imo. Also it's obviously personal taste here but having a stripper/borderline prostitute (Raven) as a love interest is kind of weird too. Not many dudes would ever really go for that. Side character 1 off scene sure, but main LI, ehhh.
Lucy is prob my fav character so far, just pure sweetness. Anything bad happens to Lucy we all Riot lmao.
Regardless, Enjoyed what's out so far. Appreciate the work you put in.
Frieren PC case was a nice addition. I got a good chuckle.
Thank you! There won't be any NTR in the game, so nobody will steal your LIs and you couldn't do anything about it. That's just not my style.
I think you're referring to Venus, not Raven Raven was the girl who gave Simon a lap dance, but she's not an LI. Venus and Raven are both dancers, whatever people interpret from that doesn't necessarily line up with what I have planned. :)
Also, Venus isn't a stripper, at least that's what she told MC. Whether you choose to believe her or not is up to you for now. The story will clear that up eventually.
Team Lucy, I see, very understandable :))
My bad on the names. Definitely meant Venus.
Maybe I overlooked the dialogue while reading. i don't remember her her mentioning she wasn't a stripper.
I was just referring to the talk for 2 mins and then her asking MC to go to a private room.
Off putting for me personally to have a LI in that line of work who could be potentially doing that OR even more things, 20 times a night with whoever comes into the club, you know. I'm just venting here and I know you have a story to tell, Venus will prob be the only path I don't take.
I'm not some saint searcher wanting every girl to be a pure innocent girl in games like these but them even "potentially having a crazy body count is off putting.
Me taking her path could of course change down the line when we get more info/backstory about her. If it does turn out that she isn't in there every night with 20+ dudes though, you know.
Like I said though, I'm just venting frustrations about something that doesn't even matter, And i know this lmao. I appreciate the reply and you reading nevertheless.
I totally understand it! Future updates will give more insight in her backstory, for now, just enjoy the run and if you deny Venus, so be it, no hard feelings. :D
质量真的太高了，如果能把没有解锁的cg或者路线图显示出来就好了，玩家就可以专研这个游戏的未解锁内容
非常感谢！以后我会想办法加上这些功能的！
Unknown publisher. Please release a verified version.
Unknown publisher? Impossible. I, DebatingPanda of the Pandalorian Order, hereby bless this build with the ancient AVN Seal of Verification™. Done.
Hey Panda, not that I don't trust your AVN Seal of Verification but I need a version that won't trigger Microsoft Defender. My PC and I have been through a lot of hacks from clicking "Run anyway".
That message is completely normal for any indie game or (A)VN. Windows shows it whenever an .exe isn't signed with an expensive code-signing certificate, so it labels the creator as "Unknown Publisher".
You basically need to trust the developer you downloaded it from, which is why leaked or early-release builds from random websites can be risky. Sadly it is very easy for someone to inject bad stuff into an .exe. If you grabbed the game from my official itch, Patreon or Substar pages, it's 100% the clean, original build from me, which is safe.
Adding an official publisher signature would require a yearly certificate that costs up to 500€, and for a small solo dev like me that's just not realistic.
TLDR: Don't worry, the warning is expected, harmless, and simply Windows being overprotective (at least for my game). Thank you for checking to be safe!
You're the first person to actually give me useful insight on this. Thank you Panda. Wish more creators were as honest as you. I'll give you and your game a shot.
You're welcome, I hope you enjoy it! :)
И у меня есть вопрос после выходя следующей главы придётся начинать заново или можно будет продолжить дальше и еще пропадут ли сохранения
Сохранения не пропадут, если у вас всё ещё установлено приложение (на Android) или вы не переустанавливали систему на ПК. Вы сможете продолжить игру с конца 3 главы!
Здравствуйте я хочу пожелать вам удачи , сил, терпения, чтобы не что не ломалось ,чтобы все получилось как вы хотели
Спасибо большое! Мне очень приятно. Спасибо за ваши пожелания, пусть у вас тоже всё получается так, как вы хотите.
aight, im actually speechless, the story? AMAZING, thr characters? GREAT, like i was js looking for games to get off to, then got hooked with the title and the overview, hell i even skipped some sexual scenes, i finished it in like 3 hours i think, fav characters are the Twins and Jade, not alot ik, but im really picky with stuff like that, plus im also not rly into milfs.
i have some questions tho
1.) When MC had sexual interactions with Naomi, he always thinks its a dream and forgets abt it afterwards, is that due to his concussion or is it smth else in the future chapters?
2.) Are we able to choose our love interest?(even so id still choose Lucy ngl) or do u plan on not adding dating mechanics?
Happy to hear that you enjoyed it so far, thank you very much! You skipped sex scenes, that's a first one for sure! :D
Lemme ask your questions:
1. When you talk with Naomi later and she doesn't mention anything, then it was actually just a dream. (Not sure if you dislike spoilers, so let's keep it at that)
2. You'll be able to choose whoever you want in your final harem. Not sure how much branching this will require in the end, but if you lose one path with a girl, they're out. It is a basically harem by choice. Actual dating with LI depends on their personality, some chars totally want to go on dates while others might not be interested in those things and more into actual using time for... things.
Hope that answers your questions! :)
but in my gameplay, naomi Did mention that MC and Her had sex, is it cuz i chose the dominant route with her?
Mhm, then they didn't forget about it. It was mentioned in Chapter 2 and she also reacts differently to him in Chapter 3! Dominant route is basically the route where you had sex.
Just finished playing through 0.3 again and I absolutely adore the story so far. The phone backgrounds are great.
Thank you very much! :) I'll add more in the future!
Glad you still like it, thank you! :))
Hey i was hoping you could help me out with larrissa it seems no matter what I do I can't find her
Hey, there is no content with Larissa as of version 0.3. I'm focused on other characters currently.
I am just wondering if the update would be out in January not try to rush you just try see if it might be out within the next month or so ?
Seeing that some other big games are about to release in December/January, I'll put my game behind them since I'm also just half-way with the rendering process as you can see in my dev logs :) It will definitely take some time since I also have quite some stuff going on irl at the moment. I can only continue to give it my best.
Hey guys um... new to this but it won't open once downloaded for the Mac version. I tried a while ago but it refuses to run. I have downloaded it and extracted it but it still won't run. When I look at the toolbar it looks like it simply appears and disappears almost like it closed itself.
Thanks just curious
Hey there, sorry to hear that it's not working. Is there any log file next to the executable? Can you check if there are any errors logged. Thanks!
Hey there, don't worry about it, it's perfectly understandable! Thank you, I'm happy to hear that you enjoy the game so far! I'm adding more details and everything to make the world feel more alive and realistic. Otherwise it wouldn't just feel right to me! Since the development takes long it's also only natural to keep everyone who's interested up to date :) Sharing my current struggles, the process and everything with the players is something I like to do. I'm giving it my best, so you guys can enjoy the next Chapter as well! :D
Is Beyond Humanity the SFW version of Between Humanity?
Hey there! Yes, that's correct :)
oe mano, pero mi pregunta es que si el persona o mejor dicho el protagonista que tiene algún poder para una futura historia o son visiones, pero si está demasiado buena ya no puedo esperar para ver como quedo
¡Hey, muchas gracias! El futuro lo dirá, no voy a spoilear nada relacionado con la historia :)
Looks great and the story thus far is pretty interesting.
I was just wondering if you did the models entirely yourself or if you started with a base model and worked from there?
Also curious what programs you use in your development pipeline.
Keep up the great work!
Thank you! Everyone starts with a base model and we've to work from there, but the variety of characters shows how much you can achieve even with a base model.
I use a lot of programs, for example renpy, vsc, photoshop, neo v2 and something like notepad++, command line, even visual studio 2022 for developing the translation tool.
Thank you very much for the overview of your programs! How would you recommend someone begin their learning path as compared with how you started your foray into development?
Looking forward to your next updates!
Quick question: When are you planning to release Chapter 4?
Well depending on development- could be either in December or next year for sure. Hope this answers your question
Thanks for answering him Scarlett! :D Exactly what I'd have written as well, working hard on it, also depending on releases of other games, I'll try to not intervene with other big game's release time frames.
Termine el capitulo 3 anoche.. Solo puedo decir que tiene muy buena pinta y me encanta la idea de ver el desarrollo de personajes, De momento la idea mia es seguir la Ruta de Anya, aunque estoy curioso de saber si cada final de capitulo tiene diferente final segun la ruta de cada personaje, así que en breves creare un save nuevo para comprobarlo,
La historia tiene una pinta muy interesante me da curiosidad saber que le paso a Lilith, Espero que la historia no se vaya por el lado de violacion y/o prostitucion.. es algo que no lo veo como para un juego por mas +18 que sea el juego, pero fuera de eso lo que hay hasta el momento esta bueno y si es recomendable,
¡Gracias! ¡Me alegra que te esté gustando hasta ahora! No habrá ningún tipo de violación ni prostitución de ningún personaje romántico en mi juego, no te preocupes por eso. Estoy trabajando duro en el Capítulo 4, ¡mantente atento a los dev logs para más información!
oye para cuando tiene la siguiente parte del juego está muy bueno y lo quiero terminar por completo o para cuando ya lo terminas
¡Gracias! Me alegra mucho que te haya gustado! La siguiente parte está en desarrollo, todavía tomará un poco más de tiempo, pero va muy bien.
Hey, I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or what, but whenever I load my save I am missing all the phone backgrounds I unlocked in previous play sessions. Is there a way to fix this? I don't play in the browser if that means anything.
Hey, that's a rather interesting bug. Usually your unlocked phone backgrounds are saved in the persistent file. Someone had that issue before because they were missing permissions to write to said persistent file. Can you check the folder "%appdata%/Renpy/BetweenHumanity-1679746291" if there are files and if the persistent file is maybe like 500+ KB in size.
I have a file named "persistent" in C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\RenPy\BetweenHumanity-1679746291
Is this the file you're talking about?
Exactly, there should be all the stored variables. What size is the file? And are your save games stored at that spot too?
When windows has trouble saving anything at that location, then it would explain why you won't have unlocked phone background except the custom and default ones.
Sorry for the late reply.
The file size is 25kb and all my saves appear to be in the same place.
Did you by chance exported it from the web build? I noticed that sometimes the export function gets interrupted and doesn't export everything. 25kb for the persistent file is way to small, it should be at least 100+kb
hello, i have reached chapter 3 at end and saved because it say to save, then i redownloaded it and kept my save file, then i continue to load but then its only chapter 3 it ended i could not do chapter 4, what to do?
Hey there, Chapter 3 is currently the end, I'm working on Chapter 4 at the moment!
