Wanted to say thanks for the great game. Found it on Oppaiman and I think its on its way of being up there with eternum or ripples. Keep up the awesome work
Hey there! That's not something I implemented, it would require me to rent a dedicated server just to push out those information, which is something possible for the future. Currently, you can follow me on patreon / subscribestar or itch to check out my regular development logs. I'll also make a release announcement post, as soon as I have a fixed time frame for the release! Hope that helps! :)
I am not much into these socials like patreon on this one, but so far as i can tell i actually like... devlog, the one on itch, its clear where we are at. Easy, so many Devs forgets about it and i really apreciate when someone keeps us informed on what going on and 'technically' how much more we have to wait.
But yeah, about game. Its interesting but I cant tell anything about story, its too early to say, why? Its pretty chaotic, we dont know like literally anything and half of this is not in mysterious way, just like you are lost, mc keeps to NOT asking questions we all want to ask, one look at place and done, almost not interested anymore. I mean, dont get me wrong, just you cant yet tell if its good or bad because i feel like after all these days my 'main quest' really moved on last scene. It has huge potential, so its interesting as I said in the beginning, but I cant really tell how will it go in further, like no idea, 0 predictions. it may sounds harsh but No, its good game just too early for commenting On story.
Graphics is cool, nothing i havent seen but if it works then its good.
Characters, as i am liking almost every character, though i think lucy is too much one-personality-girl if everything she says is shy-way it is well... like she is here only to fill shy-girl tag, and to say shy thing and nothing more, everyone can be shy but nobody says literally everything one way. Its not irritating, but definetely worth of look out. Healthy humans, have every emotions ;) some are stronger and thats fine but dont overdo
Overall i am actually interested in and i will definetely keep on touch with it. even if its chaotic i wanted to know more about story. Sorry if anything sounded too harsh;)
Hey there, glad you like my posts :). Story-wise, it's intended to make MC look lost. He's totally unsure on how to proceed, what happened with Lilith, what to do next after he didn't find anything in that side street, where to go now, everything is a bit overwhelming and he's supposed to get help or figure stuff out while his normal life continues. Hence why I solve this one issue relatively "early", you'll see in the new version.
Some people already seem to have a good idea on how the story will progress, others don't which I think is good. It shouldn't be too obvious, but also not completely mystical so nobody can assume where it goes.
Regarding the girls, glad they're appealing! I didn't go for 'tags', but to include some variation with a tendency to go for a pretty nice overall behavior, to have some nice friends all around. Lucy is indeed a shy one, but that opens possibilities for growth in the future. Amber seems like a nymphomaniac but that opens the possibilities for growth in another way as well. Time will tell, I've all planned already.
Don't worry, criticism is always welcoming! Even I don't see every aspect and might even overlook certain things. Hence why I appreciate it, when people have legit criticism and not just vote a game down because for no reason, this doesn't help at all! :D
about MC being lost i have biggest issue with him not checking anything, testing himself or his own health (though I like that slowly changing his issues with thinking about her name)
And he sometimes has weird prio, ~i might be called out to Pay for 69 years while one hour is 20$? Lets go to school :D and just think about it for one second from while to while - i would be waiting for that report to be done while shitting my own pants ;d
.And question not being asked like wondering all about that lilith and then bah No lucy No saying any info. Wondering why nobody is worried about her? well imma go sleep :-D
Though I must add that i liked small details, backgrounds, that here are any actuall people except main characters, and they even move(!) details like we can see through window sis entering home. I didnt mentioned it before but its admirable, i love small details <3
Hey, thanks for the reply! If MC would check everything, he'd be perfect and I don't want him to be perfect. He should look inexperienced, overwhelmed and a bit naive at the beginning. Naomi, the nurse, is telling him what to be expected after the accident and she has to know about it since she's the nurse in charge, right?
MC didn't pay for 69 years, in fact - it's unknown why this happens at all, if you play the game differently, there will be no mentioning of renting her for 69 years at all. ;D The bot has to report to the docking station for an upgrade though, so he also fears that they'll find out that he used her for free more than once (another fear to be found out).
He doesn't want to include Lucy in any potential trouble, I think that's to be expected from a guy like him. Could write another path for it, but I don't have enough variables at the current state to have a clear path forward on how he turns out at the end. What else should he do at the end? Not going to sleep? :D He even tries to think about Lilith at the end, but his brain starts to hurt as soon as the thought appears.
Just my two cents lol, anyway, glad you like the small details I included! I enjoy seeing the world live in the background and having other things , even small events, happening is kinda nice to see, imo. :)
Hey! Just place the contents of the .zip file in the main game folder, where the .exe file is located. If you're on android, you need to place the contents of the .zip file at this location: "Android/data/com.dbpanda.betweenhumanity/files/".
Wow, this is a great game so far! Looks amazing and has an interesting & well structured story, that allows for some great speculation on what will happen next. Congrats to DebatingPanda for what you've done so far!
Oof, that sounds like she's too hot for the phone! Just kidding, can you give me a screenshot of the error or tell me what exactly does the error say? Thank you! :)
it doesn't even give a code to it. i'm on an android laptop. it crashed when I first tried to check out Anya so I skipped checking her out and it let me continue but then when you see her in the shower it crashed again and wont go passed.
Oh, gotcha! The Anya checking out and the Girl in the shower (it's Jane, not Anya :D) those two are animations which have a newer but less supported video codec (don't bother with it in detail). It has been fixed for 0.3, but unfortunately there is nothing I can do right now! Thank you for reminding me of it, if you can't continue, please bear with me and try it with 0.3 again! :/
It's strange but I actually face a problem that, though I could download the game file, I just got a "403 forbidden" when I was trying downloading the "CHINESE translation" and the "Walkthrough-Mod". So I wander if there was any other external channel to reach those two files?
I'm pretty conflicted about this game to be honest. The characters are likeable and there seems to be a pretty well-thought-out and cohesive storyline here, but I really can't get over the amount of AI art sprinkled throughout the game. I get that a dislike of AI is a more personal gripe, but seeing it in the phone backgrounds, the news broadcasts, and all the images on the TV is just super distracting. My hope is that it's all placeholder assets that'll get replaced someday but it's hard for me to enjoy the game with unsettling AI slop being so ingrained as a part of it.
Hey, thank you! I already removed the phone background image. I might have to take some bucks and have all images make by professionals, but that's something that's on my to-do list for later. This is the cheapest option I had, especially for the 0.1 version of the game!
Unsure how I'd get good looking Pandalorian images though, definitely would cost me too much for the current budget. But I'll keep it in mind!
Salut ! Tu dois télécharger la traduction française depuis itch, puis utiliser une application pour naviguer dans les fichiers. Ensuite, suis les instructions dans le fichier readme.txt contenu dans le .zip ! J'espère que ça t'aidera !
Omfg that was SO GOOD! This might be the best +18 game I've ever played, being able to change the text size, the cutscenes, the charismatic characters, the decisions, even the animations, background details and secrets are SO GOOD. I loved it and I'm looking forward to the game's updates! The story also seems pretty interesting. I seriously love the details, like the date, characters' reaction to choices, wallpapers, stats at the end of the chapter, it's a GREAT GAME.
Edit; woah is this your first game? It was so cool I wanted to check more from you, but couldn't find any :O
Thank you so much =D! Happy to hear that you enjoyed the small details I put in. It is indeed my first game. I just implement what I personally did enjoy the most in other games, like living backgrounds and small movements while you talk to characters, makes everything feel more alive and natural. Only drawback, it takes some time to prepare everything but I'm working on it! Have a great Christmas time! :)
This is fantastic work so far. Especially the models and sex scenes... Legitimately great work. First time I've been extremely looking forward to more from this style of game, I can't wait. That cliff hanger caught me off guard super good!
Note: This is just my perspective, take it with whatever grains of salt you prefer.
So far, BH is fairly linear (something I hope changes in future builds). That said, it is not what I consider "standard fair". The implied story playing out in the background events seems consistent with the MC's "mystery" events. Keeping eyes on the background helped keep me invested in what I originally assumed was a benign story. As the story progressed, the two intermingled.
A few "cons" of note (at least from my view, your mileage may vary). "SPOILERS" (Um yeah, I don't actually care but hey, no reason to ruin it for others I guess)
1) Lucy and the cab driver comes off a bit "NTR"- The behavior and rather vague dialog interaction feels like Lucy's paying the cabbie. Add the "bug?" that Lucy gets in the cab with "leggings" and leaves with no leggings....
2) The "hidden" clickables are nice but as the intro states, it's a pain to click literally every pixel just to get the hiddens.
3) There are plenty of points where I absolutely wanted to break out of the storyline to check a background event or talk to a character. Of the few constant frustrations (mild but there) was seeing something happening and not being able to interact or see a character who may have information that would clarify an event and not being able to talk. This is especially true of the "phone". I am hoping in future updates either the linear story will incorporate the logical/practical inclusion of events and characters in "real-time" or allow the MC to interact through multiple choices to background events or characters.
The "pro" (again, "Spoilers" because some people need everything spelled out {"Well preacher, anyone ever tell you there are TWO KNOBS on the radio?!!" - George Carlin})
Solid mystery game. I see a lot of potential that may or may not prove to be a great end-game story. Looking forward to Chapt 3 to see if a few things I have theories about come close (and how wrong I was!)
Dev's sense of both style and substance seems pretty on point, throw in the humour and you've got me sold. Dystopian settings with a sense of humour are so hard to find so I'll hang on to this one as long I get a chuckle.
Thanks for the very detailed review! :D Yes, BH has to be somewhat linear, it's just not possible for a one man development "team" to get enough content in a short amount of time without people questioning the existence and also getting support while working full-time beside it... It's just not possible for me.
1) You really had me checking the leggings... but as far as I can tell, she is definitely wearing them. You look at her legs and they're quite bright, due to the sun shining on them, but they're there. Also Lucy and NTR?! Holy moly, that's the last I would think of, when thinking about Lucy. :D
2) Yes, the hidden clickables are kind of difficult, I agree, but they're not at random pixels, they have their points, if you manage to see something.
3) I totally feel it, would love to make it a 3d game, lol. But I have to make sacrifices, I could fill the game with lots and lots of minor details, but then people would even be less engaged since it's under the premise of an adult visual novel, so most people expect h-scenes and not random background events, unfortunately. Since those background events take time, it would take too long to build them beside the normal story. I agree on the phone, I should make more use of it, I don't play to introduce a sandbox mode currently though.
For the pros, thanks! :D I try to get some chuckles out of the player while still maintaining a serious storyline.
1) The Lucy leggings may just be my brightness/resolution/etc, so it's understandable if it's all on my end. As for the "NTR", chalk it up to that "something feels off, what am I missing" feeling that the story gives me, like I know there's a whole mystery and I'm questioning everything trying to piece clues together ahead of the story.
2) When you release Chapt. 3 I'll go back and see if I can "connect the dots" on the hiddens and look for a pattern. Admittedly, dividing my attention between story, background, and clickables is not my "forte`" lol
3) I get it. I've watched enough devs bite off more than they can chew trying to change things up so I don't dog them too much about my preferences. All I meant was having a bit more choice selection when events or people would be the obvious "go-to". Sort of like the alley scene *cough: spoilers* where clearly there were some things that were going on but.....
You're doing great though, I'm invested! Looking forward to seeing if a few theories I have play out :)
You're welcome and thank you too! :) Lucys leggings is definitely there, no worries. There won't be any NTR in my game, that's not something I want to implement.
I don't want to make the secret clickables to obvious, more like "accidental clicks reveal something interesting" or the player saw something and be like "wtf, did I see over there".
Yes, I would like to make multiple deep branches, but at the moment, it's not something I can invest time into, simple stories seem to be more attractive.
Hi! I would say they look quite different, but just my opinion :D. I didn't know Cosy's game when I started making my own and haven't played it yet, apparently both Lucy's are on the shy side, so that would match too? Does his MC look good? Also, fun fact, Simon looks almost exactly like the MC from Companion of Darkness...
Grea Story pacing - Great render - Great design - Promising Story - Great Layout of Options - Amusing Gallery.
- ill rate it 8.9/10 - Its only 2 updates its will surely deserves 10/10 for more updates
- Also to be clear how many main girls will be? theres a lot of girls but they are not on gallery ( may i assume that all girls in gallery are main girls? )
Currently all characters with h or cute scenes / images will be displayed in the gallery. So in the later stages, probably everyone will be in the gallery, both main and side girls. Whereas I don't have a specific list on who's main and who's not at the moment. Lucy, Anya and Jane are definitely 'main' though. Hope that could answer you question!
Hey! You probably choose the wrong choices (which is only one in this case, you chose that she looked ugly). In 0.3, it'll be easier to see why certain choices aren't available when you hover over them.
I love this game!! I know you told another super-Stan not to stay up late playing, but it's awesome and I was up until 5am! :)
I have a quick question about the walkthrough (no real spoilers). You say the below three dialogue choices come in order, but I've never gotten the second choice.
• “I shouldn’t over do it…” OR “Amazing!”
• “Yes!” OR “No”.
• “Hug her” OR “Wave back”.
After I pick “Amazing!”, the very next choice is whether to “Hug her” OR “Wave back”. Did I miss something? Thanks, Pan!
During the scene with Amber I think there's supposed to be a choice to be rough with her or not.
For some reason you're automatically rough with her unless you select "I shouldn't overdo it" and then "Actually, no" THEN you get the choice to be rough or not.
Thank you very much! Hehe, I remember it, get enough sleep though!
TheGeeb81 is correct, you're automatically being rough with Amber if certain criteria are met. Either you have taken enough lustful choices up to that point or you've taken the dominant choices with two other girls previously. :)
I'll adjust it in the walkthrough, thanks two you both for pointing it out!
Ok, first of all, wow. I wasn't really expecting much, but my goodness how amazing it has been so far. The story has really swept me away and I can hardly wait for it to continue. It's not just the story that has me hooked, the characters are also varied and interesting. But especially the little things, like the fact that the selected mobile phone wallpaper is displayed on the small icon. You can see that a lot of heart and soul has gone into it. The animations are also very well done. Only once did a background fail to load and I saw an error message from RenPy. If you like Ripples and Eternum, you can't go wrong with this AVN. I really hope that it continues soon.
Thank you so much, happy that you enjoyed it so far! Working on 0.3 currently, more to come soon! I added the small wallpaper during 0.2, really like that small detail as well! :)
If you don't mind, can you go into detail about the background error? I'd like to fix it if possible, thank you!
Of course. It's after dinner (which Jane has cooked) when you're lying on your bed thinking. First you see the skylight as normal, then the error appears for two or three text boxes, and then it appears again before you fall asleep. Is the description that good?
Yes, pretty good, thank you! When the errors appear for two or three textboxes, then it could be my easter egg error, a normal error would make the game crash, or did you press ignore to make the game progress? It's right when MC starts talking about his knowledge about programming.
Also, does the error say: "No exception has occurred. Just continue to play. Nice, isn't it?"? If not, could you send me the error here on itch or over on discord? Thank you <3
What application did you use for making your character ? Can share some info?cuz I'm planning to make mine also "but my mind on blank" or out of nowhere I can't focus what should I do first 😭 help! ?
When you update the games version, your save files should be still available. If you're changing your phone, you need to transfer the files from "android/data/com.dbpanda.betweenhumanity/files/saves" to your new device :)
This is just about as high quality a NSFW game that I've seen. Beautiful girls, genuinely engaging story and you can see the love and care that has gone into creating it. Really looking forward to the next chapter.
I wanted to try this since everyone compares it to the big games I love, easy to say I loved it, the story is captivating and from the moment you turn into the game you can tell it is one of thoose ones, can't wait to see where the story goes
I will admit, initially I didn't expect much out of it as it seemed like a standard "MC was in an accident and has to rediscover his life" scenario that we've seen many times before. So I was happy when it became clear that it was not, and the story really picked up once it gets to the first school day. I'm now quite intrigued by the story - complete with personal theories and predictions - and the characters, and it seems like it's only going to keep getting better.
Thank you very much! I tend do go with what feels right instead of the usual default tropes in most cases. But I don't understand why your nice review is only a 3/5 star rating. ;(
3 out of 5 is still what I consider a good game. It's mainly a slow beginning that brings it down tbh, but it's far from the only AVN to suffer from that, and the fact that it's only v0.2 naturally means that many characters and storylines haven't gotten enough focus yet to bring the score up.
Most AVNs wouldn't have gotten higher than 3/5 until v0.4 or v0.5.
Fair point! When I compare that with my own crunchyroll rating preferences... I usually don't watch anything below 4.2/5 stars xD. Also, if all new games get at most 3/5 I think a lot of newer devs might loose motivation to continue developing. So I might have to make smaller updates to pump my version number up, heh. Anyway, just my two cents, thanks for clarifying, though!
That's true. For my personal rule of thumb, everything above a 5/10 rating on imdb is usually something considerable to watch (Exceptions prove the rule) :D
Just started playing this game and I love the fact that Amber from The Headmaster is in this game. (I know these type of games share the same character models but it was still a cool easter egg nonetheless)

Wanted to say thanks for the great game. Found it on Oppaiman and I think its on its way of being up there with eternum or ripples. Keep up the awesome work
Thank you very much, happy to hear! :D
okie dokieeee🤪
Love that smiley 🤪
Is this game story completed
Hey there! Story is by far not completed, game has just two Chapters currently, overall story and everything will have many more.
how does one activate the walkthrough mod
Hey! Just make sure that the .rpyc file is inside the /game folder and it works automatically.
so i just extract the mod walkthrough than move to to the file named game? Does that work
Basically extract it into the folder "Between-Humanity-0.2.1-pc", the rest should automatically fit :)
righty o ill give it a whirl and if it dont work ill scream for ya haha
If you're on pc it should work just fine. Enjoy the game! :)
How do i turn on my notifications on this game? So, i am notified when there's a new update.
Hey there! That's not something I implemented, it would require me to rent a dedicated server just to push out those information, which is something possible for the future. Currently, you can follow me on patreon / subscribestar or itch to check out my regular development logs. I'll also make a release announcement post, as soon as I have a fixed time frame for the release! Hope that helps! :)
Looking really really good so far, I especially love the humor and can't wait to see more of this project in the future!
Show post...
I agree

What a great introduction. I am full of anticipation for future updates. If they share the quality of what we've seen so far then this will be a hit.
Thank you very much! :) I'm happy you liked it so far!
请问手机版的中文翻译怎么弄？
中文翻译的 .zip 文件内包含一个 readme.txt 文件，其中详细说明了如何在手机版上安装。请查看 readme.txt 以获取具体的安装步骤。
能出一个视频或图片教程吗？我搞不明白🥺
你需要在手机上安装一个可以浏览文件系统的应用程序，不确定现在大多数手机是否默认提供。然后，你需要导航到 "Android/data/com.dbpanda.betweenhumanity/files/game/tl"（如果 "/game/tl" 文件夹不存在，请自行创建），并将 .zip 文件解压到该目录内。
在 0.3 版本发布后，我会尝试将语言直接包含在主游戏中
Just finished playing the game, damn this one of the best I've ever played. I'm waiting for the next update. Great work!
Thank you very much! Happy to hear =D
How to use the walkthrough mod?
Hey! Just place the contents of the .zip file in the main game folder, where the .exe file is located. If you're on android, you need to place the contents of the .zip file at this location: "Android/data/com.dbpanda.betweenhumanity/files/".
Wow, this is a great game so far! Looks amazing and has an interesting & well structured story, that allows for some great speculation on what will happen next. Congrats to DebatingPanda for what you've done so far!
Thank you very much, glad you like it! :)
the game keeps crashing every time you almost see Anya naked on android
Oof, that sounds like she's too hot for the phone! Just kidding, can you give me a screenshot of the error or tell me what exactly does the error say? Thank you! :)
it doesn't even give a code to it. i'm on an android laptop. it crashed when I first tried to check out Anya so I skipped checking her out and it let me continue but then when you see her in the shower it crashed again and wont go passed.
Oh, gotcha! The Anya checking out and the Girl in the shower (it's Jane, not Anya :D) those two are animations which have a newer but less supported video codec (don't bother with it in detail). It has been fixed for 0.3, but unfortunately there is nothing I can do right now! Thank you for reminding me of it, if you can't continue, please bear with me and try it with 0.3 again! :/
alright thank you it seems great till then. I'll wait then,
Great game, the story got me intrigued, can't wait to see more!
Thank you very much! =) More is in the making!
支持中文 bor？
下载区提供了中文翻译，并附有 readme.txt 文件，内有安装说明。
谢谢你的热情xx！！
我等不及 0.3 了！！
<3
Really enjoyed the game. Quite interesting story and the scenes were really well made. Can't wait for more<3
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it so far! <3
It's strange but I actually face a problem that, though I could download the game file, I just got a "403 forbidden" when I was trying downloading the "CHINESE translation" and the "Walkthrough-Mod". So I wander if there was any other external channel to reach those two files?
有人有中文补丁和攻略模组的其他下载方式吗？不知道为啥我这只能下游戏本体，小文件都下不了。
Hi! Interesting, they're on the itch.io servers as well, so they should work but I uploaded them here, try them:

salut je suis sur android et je ne sais pas comment changer la langue en français de l'aide plz :)
Salut ! Tu dois télécharger la traduction française depuis itch, puis utiliser une application pour naviguer dans les fichiers. Ensuite, suis les instructions dans le fichier readme.txt contenu dans le .zip ! J'espère que ça t'aidera !
merci ça ma bien aider <3
De rien <3 :D

Omfg that was SO GOOD! This might be the best +18 game I've ever played, being able to change the text size, the cutscenes, the charismatic characters, the decisions, even the animations, background details and secrets are SO GOOD. I loved it and I'm looking forward to the game's updates! The story also seems pretty interesting. I seriously love the details, like the date, characters' reaction to choices, wallpapers, stats at the end of the chapter, it's a GREAT GAME.
Edit; woah is this your first game? It was so cool I wanted to check more from you, but couldn't find any :O
Thank you so much =D! Happy to hear that you enjoyed the small details I put in. It is indeed my first game. I just implement what I personally did enjoy the most in other games, like living backgrounds and small movements while you talk to characters, makes everything feel more alive and natural. Only drawback, it takes some time to prepare everything but I'm working on it! Have a great Christmas time! :)
Have a great Christmas you too! I'll wait excited for the updates ^^
This is fantastic work so far. Especially the models and sex scenes... Legitimately great work. First time I've been extremely looking forward to more from this style of game, I can't wait. That cliff hanger caught me off guard super good!
Thank you very much, happy to hear!
No thank you for your art and story! 🥲🩶
❤️
Note: This is just my perspective, take it with whatever grains of salt you prefer.
So far, BH is fairly linear (something I hope changes in future builds). That said, it is not what I consider "standard fair". The implied story playing out in the background events seems consistent with the MC's "mystery" events. Keeping eyes on the background helped keep me invested in what I originally assumed was a benign story. As the story progressed, the two intermingled.
A few "cons" of note (at least from my view, your mileage may vary). "SPOILERS" (Um yeah, I don't actually care but hey, no reason to ruin it for others I guess)
1) Lucy and the cab driver comes off a bit "NTR"- The behavior and rather vague dialog interaction feels like Lucy's paying the cabbie. Add the "bug?" that Lucy gets in the cab with "leggings" and leaves with no leggings....
2) The "hidden" clickables are nice but as the intro states, it's a pain to click literally every pixel just to get the hiddens.
3) There are plenty of points where I absolutely wanted to break out of the storyline to check a background event or talk to a character. Of the few constant frustrations (mild but there) was seeing something happening and not being able to interact or see a character who may have information that would clarify an event and not being able to talk. This is especially true of the "phone". I am hoping in future updates either the linear story will incorporate the logical/practical inclusion of events and characters in "real-time" or allow the MC to interact through multiple choices to background events or characters.
The "pro" (again, "Spoilers" because some people need everything spelled out {"Well preacher, anyone ever tell you there are TWO KNOBS on the radio?!!" - George Carlin})
Solid mystery game. I see a lot of potential that may or may not prove to be a great end-game story. Looking forward to Chapt 3 to see if a few things I have theories about come close (and how wrong I was!)
Dev's sense of both style and substance seems pretty on point, throw in the humour and you've got me sold. Dystopian settings with a sense of humour are so hard to find so I'll hang on to this one as long I get a chuckle.
Hi!
Thanks for the very detailed review! :D Yes, BH has to be somewhat linear, it's just not possible for a one man development "team" to get enough content in a short amount of time without people questioning the existence and also getting support while working full-time beside it... It's just not possible for me.
1) You really had me checking the leggings... but as far as I can tell, she is definitely wearing them. You look at her legs and they're quite bright, due to the sun shining on them, but they're there. Also Lucy and NTR?! Holy moly, that's the last I would think of, when thinking about Lucy. :D
2) Yes, the hidden clickables are kind of difficult, I agree, but they're not at random pixels, they have their points, if you manage to see something.
3) I totally feel it, would love to make it a 3d game, lol. But I have to make sacrifices, I could fill the game with lots and lots of minor details, but then people would even be less engaged since it's under the premise of an adult visual novel, so most people expect h-scenes and not random background events, unfortunately. Since those background events take time, it would take too long to build them beside the normal story.
I agree on the phone, I should make more use of it, I don't play to introduce a sandbox mode currently though.
For the pros, thanks! :D I try to get some chuckles out of the player while still maintaining a serious storyline.
Thanks for the reply!
1) The Lucy leggings may just be my brightness/resolution/etc, so it's understandable if it's all on my end. As for the "NTR", chalk it up to that "something feels off, what am I missing" feeling that the story gives me, like I know there's a whole mystery and I'm questioning everything trying to piece clues together ahead of the story.
2) When you release Chapt. 3 I'll go back and see if I can "connect the dots" on the hiddens and look for a pattern. Admittedly, dividing my attention between story, background, and clickables is not my "forte`" lol
3) I get it. I've watched enough devs bite off more than they can chew trying to change things up so I don't dog them too much about my preferences. All I meant was having a bit more choice selection when events or people would be the obvious "go-to". Sort of like the alley scene *cough: spoilers* where clearly there were some things that were going on but.....
You're doing great though, I'm invested! Looking forward to seeing if a few theories I have play out :)
You're welcome and thank you too! :) Lucys leggings is definitely there, no worries. There won't be any NTR in my game, that's not something I want to implement.
I don't want to make the secret clickables to obvious, more like "accidental clicks reveal something interesting" or the player saw something and be like "wtf, did I see over there".
Yes, I would like to make multiple deep branches, but at the moment, it's not something I can invest time into, simple stories seem to be more attractive.
You cliff hanging son of a B
(Just kidding this is amazing and I can't wait for more!)
Hehe, thank you! :D
Is it just me or dose Lucy kinda look like lucy from cosy cafe and the mc looks alike as well
ps not hating I like the game really well made
Hi! I would say they look quite different, but just my opinion :D. I didn't know Cosy's game when I started making my own and haven't played it yet, apparently both Lucy's are on the shy side, so that would match too? Does his MC look good? Also, fun fact, Simon looks almost exactly like the MC from Companion of Darkness...
Yo i just downloaded companion of darkness and yes they do kinda look alike and yes the MC dose look good and ps finished your game really good
Thank you! :) Enjoy cod!
Grea Story pacing - Great render - Great design - Promising Story - Great Layout of Options - Amusing Gallery.
- ill rate it 8.9/10 - Its only 2 updates its will surely deserves 10/10 for more updates
- Also to be clear how many main girls will be? theres a lot of girls but they are not on gallery ( may i assume that all girls in gallery are main girls? )
Thank you very much, glad you liked it! :D
Currently all characters with h or cute scenes / images will be displayed in the gallery. So in the later stages, probably everyone will be in the gallery, both main and side girls. Whereas I don't have a specific list on who's main and who's not at the moment. Lucy, Anya and Jane are definitely 'main' though. Hope that could answer you question!
How to use Chinese translation?
Hi! There is a readme.txt file inside the Chinese translation folder. You need to follow the steps, it's written in Chinese as well as English!
With that drunk mom scene, in the choices when she in the bed, why is the top one grayed out and not accsessible?
Hey! You probably choose the wrong choices (which is only one in this case, you chose that she looked ugly). In 0.3, it'll be easier to see why certain choices aren't available when you hover over them.
Ah thanks man, I really liked this game, can't wait for 0.3
It's just the way I measure if the player is interested in Jane, since it's my intension to show you the content, you want to see and thank you! :D
I really loved it. Great story and characters so far! Excited for what's next
Thank you very much! :))
Are you working on a new chapter?
Yes, I post regular status updates as well. :)
I love this game!! I know you told another super-Stan not to stay up late playing, but it's awesome and I was up until 5am! :)
I have a quick question about the walkthrough (no real spoilers). You say the below three dialogue choices come in order, but I've never gotten the second choice.
• “I shouldn’t over do it…” OR “Amazing!”
• “Yes!” OR “No”.
• “Hug her” OR “Wave back”.
After I pick “Amazing!”, the very next choice is whether to “Hug her” OR “Wave back”. Did I miss something? Thanks, Pan!
During the scene with Amber I think there's supposed to be a choice to be rough with her or not.
For some reason you're automatically rough with her unless you select "I shouldn't overdo it" and then "Actually, no" THEN you get the choice to be rough or not.
Thank you very much! Hehe, I remember it, get enough sleep though!
TheGeeb81 is correct, you're automatically being rough with Amber if certain criteria are met. Either you have taken enough lustful choices up to that point or you've taken the dominant choices with two other girls previously. :)
I'll adjust it in the walkthrough, thanks two you both for pointing it out!
Ok, first of all, wow. I wasn't really expecting much, but my goodness how amazing it has been so far. The story has really swept me away and I can hardly wait for it to continue.
It's not just the story that has me hooked, the characters are also varied and interesting. But especially the little things, like the fact that the selected mobile phone wallpaper is displayed on the small icon.
You can see that a lot of heart and soul has gone into it. The animations are also very well done.
Only once did a background fail to load and I saw an error message from RenPy.
If you like Ripples and Eternum, you can't go wrong with this AVN. I really hope that it continues soon.
Thank you so much, happy that you enjoyed it so far! Working on 0.3 currently, more to come soon! I added the small wallpaper during 0.2, really like that small detail as well! :)
If you don't mind, can you go into detail about the background error? I'd like to fix it if possible, thank you!
Of course. It's after dinner (which Jane has cooked) when you're lying on your bed thinking. First you see the skylight as normal, then the error appears for two or three text boxes, and then it appears again before you fall asleep.
Is the description that good?
Yes, pretty good, thank you! When the errors appear for two or three textboxes, then it could be my easter egg error, a normal error would make the game crash, or did you press ignore to make the game progress? It's right when MC starts talking about his knowledge about programming.
Also, does the error say: "No exception has occurred. Just continue to play. Nice, isn't it?"? If not, could you send me the error here on itch or over on discord? Thank you <3
It is this one. I can normaly play, just get the screen.
Yeah, that's not really an exception, it's an Easter egg, just read the text. :D But thank you for reporting, could've been a real exception :)
What application did you use for making your character ? Can share some info?cuz I'm planning to make mine also "but my mind on blank" or out of nowhere I can't focus what should I do first 😭 help! ?
Hey! They characters are made in honey select 2.
When future chapters come out would there be any way to transfer save data? (For Android)
When you update the games version, your save files should be still available. If you're changing your phone, you need to transfer the files from "android/data/com.dbpanda.betweenhumanity/files/saves" to your new device :)
Thank you, I would also like to say the story is so well made and I can't way to play more.
Glad I could help and thank you very much! More is in the making! :)

This is just about as high quality a NSFW game that I've seen. Beautiful girls, genuinely engaging story and you can see the love and care that has gone into creating it. Really looking forward to the next chapter.
Happy to hear, thank you very much!!! :)
is there any equel to the game? i loved it.
Thank you, happy to hear that you loved it! There is no sequel or prequel, this is my first game. :)
I wanted to try this since everyone compares it to the big games I love, easy to say I loved it, the story is captivating and from the moment you turn into the game you can tell it is one of thoose ones, can't wait to see where the story goes
Thank you very much, happy to hear! :)
I will admit, initially I didn't expect much out of it as it seemed like a standard "MC was in an accident and has to rediscover his life" scenario that we've seen many times before. So I was happy when it became clear that it was not, and the story really picked up once it gets to the first school day. I'm now quite intrigued by the story - complete with personal theories and predictions - and the characters, and it seems like it's only going to keep getting better.
Thank you very much! I tend do go with what feels right instead of the usual default tropes in most cases. But I don't understand why your nice review is only a 3/5 star rating. ;(
3 out of 5 is still what I consider a good game. It's mainly a slow beginning that brings it down tbh, but it's far from the only AVN to suffer from that, and the fact that it's only v0.2 naturally means that many characters and storylines haven't gotten enough focus yet to bring the score up.
Most AVNs wouldn't have gotten higher than 3/5 until v0.4 or v0.5.
Fair point! When I compare that with my own crunchyroll rating preferences... I usually don't watch anything below 4.2/5 stars xD. Also, if all new games get at most 3/5 I think a lot of newer devs might loose motivation to continue developing. So I might have to make smaller updates to pump my version number up, heh. Anyway, just my two cents, thanks for clarifying, though!
Ah, I get that. It's kinda why I prefer rating things out ot 10 rather than 5. A 7/10 sounds better than a 3/5.
That's true. For my personal rule of thumb, everything above a 5/10 rating on imdb is usually something considerable to watch (Exceptions prove the rule) :D
Just started playing this game and I love the fact that Amber from The Headmaster is in this game. (I know these type of games share the same character models but it was still a cool easter egg nonetheless)
Amy, yes! The hairstyle make them look quite similar indeed. Fitting hair style for a bisexual hot girl imo.
