Lost in You

Take on the role of [REDACTED], an 18 year old senior high school student trying to move on from a rough breakup. Meet new people and cross paths with old acquaintances as you try to build and maintain relationships in the fictional Japanese city of Jakuofo.

But worry not, the city is your playground to do as you please! Or is it...? Perhaps not everything is as it appears at first... Only time will tell.

why's ikari lowkey giving yoriichi vibes tho
Ikari's supremacy man
i just finished the game, it's so fucking good bro
the story and everything is just GOOD AS FUCK
Me who just finished game for 5th time and deleted it right before teaser dropped(I am gonna have to do it again for 6th time):
I finished the game after two weeks (excellent game, I cried a few times with it for me 100/10) but I don't know much about the overall story in English and I didn't translate the main part of the story because I play the game without wifi.
Me who knows that not every girl will be happy at end while I cant do anything about it:
My recommendation is that in the next update they include two or three more languages such as Spanish (mainly this one since in the Spanish-speaking community we are stuck on 0.5.0)French and German, which are the most widely used languages in the world, aside from all this, it is a 1000000/10 game, the best I have ever played.
not tomori doing the i show speed face XD
THIS IS WHY TOMORI IS MY FAVORITE. SHE LOVES WIFEZHI
While it is painfully obvious that Lessons in Love and Dissonance are an "inspiration", as in most of the character interactions and stylistic devices are a little too similiar to not feel intentional and rather clumsy. Due to the very strong similarities it mostly feels kind of like an empty and meaningless collection of references to these games, but i that obviously applies only if the reader has also read the other two beforehand.
Near the end of chapter 1 it gets way better and more original. I really hope the originality keeps up in future updates and it doesn't revert back to being a LiL/Dissonance clone.
The pace of the character progressions is a very nice mix, with some being slower and others being more turbulent, which makes a pleasant experience.
I really love the UX tho, it is by far the best out of every VN i've read on here so far. I really wish some other VNs would take "inspiration" from the way your menus navigate and you can crossreference pretty much everything with one click.
I'm really looking forward to where this is going.
Hey, I love your game! It's very entertaining and funny, and I absolutely love your references. I also see great potential in this title. Are you interested in adding a few more languages in the future? If so, I’d be happy to help with Polish (I'm a native speaker). All I would want in return is to be included in the credits and get early access to new releases for free. Oh, and I can also help with QA testing if you need more hands on board! :)
Thank you! I'm not looking to add any languages other than English in the official releases, unfortunately. As much as I would love to support as many languages as possible, as it currently stands this would only serve to slow down development significantly, even with outside help. Anyone is free to create a community translation though (Ren'Py should make this fairly easy to do, I've seen a few MTL ones around already)!
I'm assuming lessons in love was a decent bit of inspiration for this game? Not saying it as a bad thing, a subtle existential horror with my smut novel keeps things refreshing and the fact theres 2 bigger ones with this gimmick that I can enjoy is great. So far I'd probably say I'm enjoying this more than LiL even, the experience is a fair bit smoother overall (probably due to having less girls, and that I can actually check when events can be triggered in game).
Looking forward to seeing how this goes.
LiL was indeed one of my primary sources of inspiration. Glad to hear you're enjoying the game!
Love the game. Too bad you cant be faithful to one girl tho. (Or choose if you wanna go to town on the girls or not )
love the game and its amazin
sad part is i forgot to download save and i forgot which part i was a
All of your saves should be backed up in something like C:\Users\(your name)\AppData\Roaming\RenPy
This game is awesome! Great story and nice scenes! I hope there would be more scenes with yui and kodoku. Anyways keep up the good work!
Thank you! All the girls will get plenty more content with future updates, no worries!
Can someone please recommend me Visual Novel games like this? With same animations, story focused and with humor?
Oh, BTW. For the creator of this game, you're the GOAT.
lessons in love lol
im recommend this game 'goddesses whim' its GOAT, i love this game
Will second lessons in love if you haven't checked, some very obvious inspirations here, from the mind fuckery to some of the characters having similar "gimmicks" to them as well, humor is about the same, not as many dated memes sadly.
Would arguably be the 1 point against playing it after playing this one, you're going to really see the similarities between the 2, from one of the girls having a mom in a bar who serves you drinks, one girl working in a porn shop, coffee shop, maid cafe, the entity that knows more about whats going on but wont tell you, etc. Luckily none of the girls really feel the same past those occupational similarities (ok maybe minus the bar mom) so its well worth playing through and its a fairly lengthy game as well which is a plus, but maybe space it out with a different game or 2 first.
Honestly im not done with chapter 1 i just made it to petrichor. I just gotta say Dev you are cooking some amazing content.
I'm not gonna lie I had to close the game and take a sec. The invincible scene with Yui really gave me a flash back to something that happened with a friend of mine.
Tldr: this game really does hit emotions really well. Amazing work
Thank you! Always love hearing about people being able to connect with my writing!
The game has good story, lovely characters and good sex scenes. I would love to follow this game. If you are reading this, you should play this game.
Plus girls have small tits, im tired of developers giving
unnecessarily large tits and asses.
(Yes, small tits are best)
Thank you!
I'm downloading it now, but I see that the average age is close, so no milf?
There's one mom. :)
oh thanks for information
Finally a new update! I have been spawning here like ghoul every day.
Sounds interesting, I'mma check this out eventually
what do u do for aurora borealis it keep kicking me off the app??
Hi! I presume you're playing on Android? Could you give me some more info about the device you're playing on? (specifically how much memory it has, as that's my immediate guess as to why that sequence specifically crashes)
Nevermind it fixed itself
Pon el tutorial de como instalar en joiplay
Gracias
The NSFW parts aren't the best I've seen, but the story and world is solid and entertaining. The characters are great too, and I like their different personalities. Much respect for having characters with reasonably sized proportions. Tired of seeing so many of them with super-mega-gargantuan breasts. Then again I'm not that big of a breast guy so size doesn't matter to me, but I will say lil titties are adorableee :) So put that size where I actually like it, and where it's more realistic; the waist, hips, ass, and thighs.
Seems like we are best friends from now on
Ofc, great minds think alike as they say ;)
My man, we have the same taste. Have you found any similar games with reasonable proportions? Asking for myself
Goddesses Whim (one of my favs), Dissonance, and Winds of the Destiny have some great ones. Scarlet Law has a few good ones, as does A House in the Rift, Adventurer Trainer (If you like Konosuba and Re:Zero), Ripples, Afterlife Harem, School of Love: Clubs, and Halfway House. Unfortunately for these and the other big eroge out there, they usually have characters of all types to service all wants, but favor bigger proportions in general. These are just ones that I remember having more petite girls or have reasonably believable proportions in comparison.
Thanks, saving these for when I feel horny tomorrow
Lessons In Love, the og game this one clearly plagiariz- *ahem* take inspiration from
I love this game so much. Great lore even though the NSFW scenes are lacking, but it's not an issue anyway. And I love that they've mentioned Dissonance. It's one of those story visual novels with this kind of quality only found on itch like Winds of the Destiny, Goddesses' Whim (Not advertising it but is define recommended), and Dissonance (again not advertising, plus it's mentioned on the game). Other than that, everything's great...
Except the damn so many rickrolls and millennial memes which I somehow get the humor... Also, what's with the donuts?
Agree with this. Definitely recommend Goddesses' Whim as well, it's my favorite. The humor is a bit dated for some people but I found it to be funny at times
Awesome game but wws rickrolling the player necessary😭
Dissonance mencionado carta de amor al cine 10/10 volvería a seducir al interés amoroso de mi mejor amigo 100% recomendado. (DISSONANCE MENCIONADO AAAAA)
[Estoy muerto por dentro]
Great game, definitely top 10 (indie) VNs personally, eerily similar to Lessons in Love at moments, scared me here and there (the "ok wtf will happen now?" kind of scared. Can't wait for the next update.
This Vn is insane ! I loved it cant wait for chapter 2 i want to fix things q.q
Love how you casually dropped Fate/stat night as a porn VN. The VN is so underrated.
I normally try to stay away from these sort of VN's, but this has so much charm. Almost two chapter two in one day, because plot! Well, mostly plot.
Awesome VN mate!
Loving this so far... Hoping to get more scenes with Nami and Yokubo soon... I've got a weakness for short cute girls, and they foot the bill very much. ^^; Also hoping to eventually get most, if not all of the girls pregnant as the story progresses. ^_^
Wasn't expecting this game to have elements from LiL (sue me for not reading the desc and wanting to play another cute girl game) in it and my god did you do it well. Absolutely love the writing and character development. I'm excited to see where this story goes.
Thank you!
are the scenes meant to be out of order? im ending up in scenes that talk about future scenes? was i suppose to do sandbox first or something?
I'm aware of the Kurumi library and train scenes being out of order, and that will be fixed in the next update. Are there any others you noticed that I messed up?
ツ
Is there any way to avoid bad end with Saki without getting stuck mid story?
great writing, friendly dev, very entretaining (looking at you tomori), and great project organization, i don't have much to complain about it other than the story is too good im too invested and can't look at anyone with lust now lmao
With that being said 10/10, proably my favorite novel,if not then at least top 3 surely
No idea why some people were saying the game should pull away from lil, the story is different and to the best of my knowledge its not like sel can hit anyone for copyright over general novel immerstion tricks like hexadecimal code or hallucinating mcs its not like that didnt exist before lil anyway.This dev
who is definitely Britishthanks you for your kind words.Okay I just played for like 20 mins but bro wtaf, the game information tags said that it's comedy damn didn't expected with the horror shts. It got me so bad 10/10 game will continue playing tomorrow because it is now evening.
I really enjoyed the game, by the way I didn't played the sandbox yet I tried first the linear.
All the warnings on the game page didn't give it away? 🤭 Glad to hear you're enjoying the game!
Totally didn't read warnings if I'm downloading some games, I'll just go directly to the game tags. By the way, I love the reference in your game the memes, names (e.g. Sekai - World, Yume -Destiny, Kurumi ("That's disgusting" phrase from Date A Live) , Saki from Kanojo mo Kanojo with same personality and hair color, the Maid (Rem from Re:Zero), etc. loved the game. Kudos to you Dev!
ok, so, i've played until a bit of Chapter 2, and i've not been paying attention to anything relared to this game's development yet, and i haven't finished the game yet, but.....can someone give some context as to why there seems to be none Saki interaction in chapter 2? Excluding the bad one, of course, but like, i also noticed that there seems to be just a little bit of content in chapter 2, so my question is also: There is gonna be more? Or is it the end? Because i am not gonna lie, from all the girls there, i mostly care just about 5 of them, with Saki being the number one, and with Toburo, was that her name? I mean, there seems to be only one more scene with her, from the point where i am in, at the second chapter, and as i said, i haven't finished the game yet, but could someone give me some context on that before i finish the game? Like, i don't mind some content with his Ex and one completely random girl, but can i hope that the game is still in development, and there's still gonna have some more content in it? Please? I am begging for more Saki, To Toburo, Yui, Nami and Yobuko, i just need it, you know?? Please, tell me there is gonna be more....also, that last "good" scene with Saki, where you have to "do it inside or outside", does it make any difference at all? Like, maybe dialogue, but something actually changes, depending on your asnwer?? Please, someone let me know.
The game is still in active development. We're only at the start of chapter 2, with a total of 3 chapters planned.
Good to know, i am pretty interested in the game so far, it has been great, thay first chapter was actually incredible, in my opinion.
The inspiration from Lessons in Love is VERY obvious, it's omnipresent, from musics, to themes (unfeeling dickhead focusing on his desires/Memory loss or finding himself somewhere without knowing how he got there/Seeing weird or fucked up things while hallucinating), character traits ("perfect" smart blond who's actually miserable/small girl with dead brother/cute girl working as a maid, MC obsessed with maids, spending all his money and flirting, maid girl acting like she doesn't like him and gets hurt ETC), major plot points (All of this being a game for the gods, MC losing his mind, THE FUCKING RESET), place names (Koi Cafe), outfits (Koi Cafe outfit, and more), syntax (the whole gods but with a straight lign going through it thing, even more so the same thing but three times in a row), scenes and character placements ( Seeing some backgrounds appearing in multiple games is nothing new, and isn't usually an issue, but when there are as many similarities as there are here it raises questions) you even put HEXADECIMAL which yeah isn't exclusive to LiL, but it's so frequent there, that it looks suspicious in a game that has soooo many references to an other game, to see it use one of said game's most used and niche feature.
Anyways, I liked the game, it's like a lesser version of Lessons in Love, which we can see was a huge inspiration for it.
But as the game goes on, the inspiration and the allusions to LiL start becoming too much, it becomes TOO similar, ffs you even show a still image of an EGG which I'm pretty sure is also a thing LiL did.
I like the allusions to it, the little winks here and there, but when it becomes TOO similar and too many things are taken, it strays from inspiration and becomes a copy, plagiarism
I don't want to accuse you of that because I don't think there's any bad intent, I think it's moreso on accident, you probably just wanted to add recognizable references and make them as frequent as possible but you did it too much.
You should try to tone in down in future updates, pull yourself away from LiL and deviate from its plot, because the way it's going now, I don't think we'll be able to say it's only inspired and not a worse copy if it keeps going on like this.
Good evening, I'm a bit ignorant/dumb about VNs in general and I have a question. I played part 1 of Lost in You (by the way, I really liked it and was quite shocked at the time), at the time I didn't have part 2 ready yet. Now I want to play part 2 (but I'm too lazy to repeat all of part 1), is there any way I can do that? (You can respond with ignorance, I know I'm a bit stupid)
I don't think there is an option like that, just put the linear mode option and press skip, you would just have to stop and choose options (I don't think it will take that long to get to chapter 2 since it's not that long)
If you're on PC/Linux/Mac you should be able to just continue from a previous save (even if you deleted the game, saves are stored in a different folder). If you're on Android you can also just continue from a previous save unless you uninstalled the game, as that will take any saves files along with it.
