Just finished the current version. If I had a nickle for every time I played a "relatively wholesome adult visual novel set in relatively near modern day that has horror elements seeping into it", I would have 5 nickels. It's not a lot, but it's weird that it keeps happening.
But yea, I enjoyed it so far. All the girls are like-able and love-able (Lucy, Anya and Jade are my favorites so far), the story setup is great so far (I want to know what happened with Lilith!), and the emotions are surprisingly genuine so far (The end of chapter 3 was very heartfelt.).
My only complaints are some of the school tropes rub me the wrong way, and I'm not a fan of how a few of the sex scenes have "Oh we're about to get caught in the act!" vibe to them (might just be the ones I got, idk). But that's mostly my personal taste; I'm sure going forward there will be more variety as the story goes on and the relationships deepen.
Final random notes:
Great menu music. Why do porn games frequently have great sound tracks?
I really like the variation of the images. Seeing people doing things and interacting in the background really brings the world to life, and makes the main characters seem much more animated. Hopefully the quality of these variations doesn't bog down development time.
The phone backgrounds are a great idea for an unlockable.
Thank you for the nice review! I understand that some people might not like certain tropes or vibes but there is nothing I can do about it. I added them to bring in variety or just because I like them personally. And yes, there will definitely be different scenes in the future for each and everyone, just give me some time to set everything up, learn new skills and improve on aspects like animations and writing :)
Glad you noticed the background activity! I'm a big fan of it and it makes everything come to life, hence why I wouldn't want to miss it and implement it wherever I see fit. Sadly, they do consume development time, but it's a manageable chunk and I would say it's worth it.
I'm unsure why some games have good sound tracks, lol. I just added what I liked.
If the demand is there, but currently that's not really the case, I understand why though. Also, Itch unlisted it from the search function, so nobody can find it except through my profile.
Honestly an amazing game, like I looked into it and got hooked into it immediately. I had originally thought the game to be very cliche and thought I would guess the plot immediately, but I was turned wrong, it was much better than I had anticipated and had genuinely made me lean further into playing it more. Honestly can't wait to see what comes to more of this game, and will be on my toes.
Want some updates on the game, so I tried to join the discord server however the link hasn't actually worked for me. Is there any way to update or somehthing to fix on my end? Also, how many chapters do you have planned in total, like how long would each of them take estimate for release too.
Regardless, this game is an aboslute art, and I would recommend to anyone wanting to play.
Hey there! Thank you very much and I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed it that much! I try to be not overly cliche or comedic, but sometimes it fits the scene, so I'll add some parts here and there.
If you can't join the Discord because the invite links says "Invalid", then it's because you have to verify your age on Discord. There are some post here on itch which ask the same and we figured that out at least! Sadly, Discord requires age verification in more and more countries nowadays. Though, I wouldn't trust any company with my personal data in this regard, so be careful.
I haven't really planned a fixed amount of chapters. I see myself working on Chapter 12, 13, 14... because there is just a lot to tell and experience as well as building the relationship with the girls to a point where it makes sense to have a harem route and where it feels like they all belong to the world and the group. Overall it also depends on how people receive the next updates and if I can invest more time into the development in the long run.
Hey! Sorry to hear! I might implement something in the future for that issue, but so far that's not decided at all. You could ask around in the Discord or other places for a save file.
The game is fantastic, great job! But why don't you consider adding voiceovers to the relationships? Or are you thinking of doing that later? Because it's like charades.
Thank you very much! Adding voice overs for each girl would definitely blow the budget by far. I have currently over 100k words overall and having every relationship e.g. every girl voiced by a different voice actor... :D not even the biggest AVNs do that.
I can't really say, since I'm moving places and have a funeral to prepare for this month, it will definitely not be this month. Two scenes left at the moment, I could cut one, but I don't want to, it just fits too good into the current scope. Quite some code related todos afterwards as well. Just give me a bit of time, I promise it will worth it in the end. In my eyes, Chapter 4 will definitely be a good update.
Thanks! Once I have actual development updates, I'll post them on itch again, other than that, feel free to check out Patreon/Subscribestar for more info.
ok but how do I do that? Can yiu give me a step by step guide please? Also I was trying to make my character's name in the text box red. But it kept saying hexcode invalid
I used a tool like cx file explorer the last time I moved the mod to the android installation. Or if that's possible for you, plug your phone to a PC, navigate to the respective folder and put the walkthrough mod there, same for the cx file explorer.
There is a default red color already available, if you want another red, try this value:
Yes, sorry about that, check out my Patreon/Subscribestar. I've posted there for the free-tier members upwards if you're interested in what's going on.
my discord account is fine now, what happened is I authorized a bot when I joined a server and that bot posted a link to a server everywhere on my behalf. I had to change my password and remove all authorized apps because of this. Thank you for unbanning me, this won't happen again! I love your game and can't wait for the next update, your game is one of my favourites easily!
I'm currently dealing with some rl stuff, I might disappoint you on that, or I'll skip dev logs for the time being so #23 will indeed be the last one before release. Future will tell!
It's a very good game, a lot of effort has been put into it. The game is good in every aspect, but it should have more language support. I would especially like to see Turkish language support added.
Thank you! There is no Turkish language right now, I could make a machine translated template, but it's nothing compared to when it has been translated by a real person.
I've found a masterpiece, this is really good, the plot, the animation, the dialogues and even the NSFW scenes are all very nice. I love this !! Thank you so much for creating this :>
Hello. I am nearing the end of 0.3 and I wanted to drop a quick word.
This is the first Visual Novel I have really had any interest in since becoming hooked on Eternum back in 2024.
I can tell from some things in this Visual Novel that You have also played Eternum. Just some similarities, like the intro using characters, and a few other things.
I have enjoyed this Visual Novel so far, and the female characters are very nice looking in general.
I just wanted to offer a little advice.
The first Visual Novel I ever played through was Everlasting Summer. And it and Once in a Lifetime, Ripples, Eternum all are very popular and have one thing in common. Comedy and humor. I am not sure where You are at right now with 0.4 or if 0.4 is too far in to make such a noticeable change, but the one thing this visual novel could use is more comedy.
Just a thought. Other than that, I have enjoyed Your work, and look forward to the next update.
Hey there, thank you very much for the nice review! I usually try to squeeze in some comedy where I see it fit, but I don't want the game become too comedic, that's just not what I personally like. Sure having a good laugh and everything is nice but focusing on too many different emotions can be difficult as well. 0.4 content is already been written for like half a year now, so there won't be any changes anymore. Feel free to tell me what you thought of the comedic aspect in 0.4 though once it comes out!
Estoy bastante avanzado con el renderizado, pero todavía tengo que hacer el audio y la parte de programación. Aunque algunas cosas de la vida real probablemente lo retrasen.

Just finished the current version. If I had a nickle for every time I played a "relatively wholesome adult visual novel set in relatively near modern day that has horror elements seeping into it", I would have 5 nickels. It's not a lot, but it's weird that it keeps happening.

And that's that. Looking forward to chapter 4.

I just hit 50h, is that bad?
Yes bro, go touch grass
Not per-se, but touching some grass, as merrykek suggested, is a good advice.
Como se actualisa eljuego
The latest version (0.3.3) is the only version currently.
Nose actualisa
I don't understand, it's not supposed to automatically update.
what's the difference between this one and beyond humanity
Beyond humanity is the SFW version.
Ah ok thanks
Oh. I left out some context.
It was created during the whole adult content delisting of itch.
I don't think the SFW version gets updates. Since everything is back.
If the demand is there, but currently that's not really the case, I understand why though. Also, Itch unlisted it from the search function, so nobody can find it except through my profile.
It's good enough to wait
Glad to hear!

I lost all my progress after i left the game when i finished chp 3 😭 i don't think imma do it again but good game
Hey! Sorry to hear! I might implement something in the future for that issue, but so far that's not decided at all. You could ask around in the Discord or other places for a save file.
hello creator can you add the mega app in the download, thank you! I hope you see this comment.
Hello! Check the pinned comment on my Patreon page https://www.patreon.com/DebatingPanda
There should be a mega mirror for the latest version.
The game is fantastic, great job! But why don't you consider adding voiceovers to the relationships? Or are you thinking of doing that later? Because it's like charades.

Okey bro thanks
Has the update for Chapter 4 been released yet?
Not yet, I slowly start working on it again, but it will still take time to finalize.
how long do you think?
I can't really say, since I'm moving places and have a funeral to prepare for this month, it will definitely not be this month. Two scenes left at the moment, I could cut one, but I don't want to, it just fits too good into the current scope. Quite some code related todos afterwards as well. Just give me a bit of time, I promise it will worth it in the end. In my eyes, Chapter 4 will definitely be a good update.
Everything's fine. Take all the time you need. I'm really excited and looking forward to it. As they say, anticipation is the greatest joy.
Is it perhaps possible to give a small spoiler about which characters will have new scenes or who will increase the MC's body count?
No spoilers, sorry!
Oh My Goodness this game was so good i can't wait for a new chapter
Happy to hear, thank you very much!
I wanna smash jane already bruh played it twice amd was kinda sad i couldn't pound old puh
Well, it wouldn't make much sense at this point for it to happen, I'll figure something out for future Chapters ;)
jane is a very sexy milf. i wanted to fuck her to. since the first scene at the bathroom. her boobs and her ass are stunning!!
Thank you so much for the work that you do!!! Appreciate it man
Thank you very much for enjoying my work!
Could we expect a development update on itch soon? (And great game btw just finished it)
Thanks! Once I have actual development updates, I'll post them on itch again, other than that, feel free to check out Patreon/Subscribestar for more info.
50 Days without an update???
Should we be worried???
Have a look at Patreon/Subscribestar.
I'm not on those sites...
All good! I'm currently dealing with irl issues. I'll be back at some point for sure, don't worry.
nice to hear bc i want to start this game now and good to know that updates will come , keep it up the work
oh and if you want to translate to Hungarian i can help :)
Thank you! There is a template over on Discord which you can download!
How do i use the walthrough mod on android?
Check out the FAQ on this page, there is the path on which RenPy is checking for mod files.
Ok butni couldnt under stand am i supposed to extract it then copy and paste it intonthe x-game file or do i go to internal storage/document/
You need to extract the files from the zip file to this location so it looks like this in the end:
"/Android/data/com.dbpanda.betweenhumanity/files/game/walkthrough.rpyc"
ok but how do I do that? Can yiu give me a step by step guide please? Also I was trying to make my character's name in the text box red. But it kept saying hexcode invalid
I used a tool like cx file explorer the last time I moved the mod to the android installation. Or if that's possible for you, plug your phone to a PC, navigate to the respective folder and put the walkthrough mod there, same for the cx file explorer.
There is a default red color already available, if you want another red, try this value:
#FF0000
Don't forget the hashtag, it's necessary.
It's been awhile since the last devlog.
Yes, sorry about that, check out my Patreon/Subscribestar. I've posted there for the free-tier members upwards if you're interested in what's going on.
I've just looked. Take all the time you need.

espero con ansias el capitulo 4, me encanto este juego basta es una obra de arte
¡Hola! Muchas gracias, lo aprecio mucho.
Queremos que lo publiques en steam
¡En este momento no habrá ningún lanzamiento en Steam, lo siento!
Super Game
Thank you very much!
the text is pretty similar, is this a sequel or whatever to the other game?
It's the NSFW version of Beyond Humanity (which is only a prototype so far).
hola amigo, haz planeado subir tu juego a steam?
Hola! En este momento no habrá ningún lanzamiento en Steam, lo siento!
En algun momento lo subiras? (en el futuro)
Posiblemente, pero no puedo decir cuándo ni si eso sucederá.
can I appeal for the discord ban please?
You want to get banned on Discord?
they probably got banned somehow and want the decision reversed
That makes a lot more sense!
I unbanned you, Amgamer, keep your account safe and don't post sus content.
my discord account is fine now, what happened is I authorized a bot when I joined a server and that bot posted a link to a server everywhere on my behalf. I had to change my password and remove all authorized apps because of this. Thank you for unbanning me, this won't happen again! I love your game and can't wait for the next update, your game is one of my favourites easily!
Glad to hear and thank you very much :)
I do
Ok
Lol
Amigo, esa referencia a That New Teacher, ufff, clave
Muchas gracias, TNT también tiene una referencia a BH :)
Why do I have a version called 'Beyond Humanity', and why is it censored?
That version was created during the Australian karen visa mastercard apocalypse
Ahhh. So it's the same content, just censored?
It's a Chapter 1 prototype in censored, basically just the normal story line.
Very cinematic! I like your use of fades, and visual glitzes as part of your story telling!
Thank you very much, happy to hear! :)
so when will there be a nsfw scene for Lucy and her sister I really want to see a sex scene with them also pls include like lots of positions
Hey! There is already one scene with Anya ;)
The Discord server link says Invite Invalid. :(
https://itch.io/post/15275205 This will hopefully help :)
I'ma give it till development 0.4-#23 for when your finished is my prediction hopefully I'm right or maybe wrong and it takes less time
I'm currently dealing with some rl stuff, I might disappoint you on that, or I'll skip dev logs for the time being so #23 will indeed be the last one before release. Future will tell!
Dose it have something to do with your family again
Yeah, sadly.
Well same as one year ago lol
But family comes first
Almost two years now, but yes. We all have two parents.
The story is so connecting
eagerly waiting for the next chapters 🥰
Thank you very much, happy to hear! :)

If im being honest this was one of the only visual novels that really got my attention, so great job.
Thank you very much, happy to hear!
You are my fav VN creater idk how you make so good games xD
<3
Haha to be honest this was the first and by far the best visual novel I have ever played
Thank you! :)
Cuando la próxima actualización?🙏⚡
Estoy bastante avanzado con el renderizado, pero todavía tengo que hacer el audio y la parte de programación. Aunque algunas cosas de la vida real probablemente lo retrasen.
I liked it, great animations
Happy to hear, thank you! :)
When is the game update?
Can't really tell right now, I'm working on it and I hope to finish it in quarter 1 of 2026 :)
I gotta admit, this one is a really curated and well crafted one, really hooked
Happy to hear, thank you very much, more to come! :)
Honestly one of the best visual novels ive played, all the love for u DebatingPanda
Thank you very much! <3
