Love Cypher | Visual Novel **DEMO** 2024.8.14

"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!
