Deep Awareness Of The Universe (DAOTU) is a sci-fi, fantasy adventure visual novel following Zie, a teenage boy whose life is turned upside down when he accidentally discovers a peculiar briefcase in his father's locked study.

What was meant to be another ordinary day suddenly turns into a fight for survival, as Zie not only tries to outrun his pursuers but also unravels what's happening around him. Exotic lands, magic, ominous mafia groups - everything he thought was fantasy becomes reality.

Play alongside Zie and his friends, as they uncover the secrets of the universe.

Where's the Download Button?

hey! i was recently uploading a new version to include chapter 3 but the size was too big for Windows so it did not upload yet. I will have my team resize it and upload the new version sometime this week! possibly later today! 

sorry for the inconvenience! check back again later :)

Hey! I just wanted to let you know I have uploaded the updated versions now if you want to check them out! :) Thank you for your patience!

Will there be romance?

Hey! There is a hint of romance but it does not come until much later in the story. Stay tuned! :) 

Will there have lgbt romance?

(If it don't have, I'm still interested)

Sorry for the late response! I have not planned too much romance for this game since it is more adventure based, but love is a part of an adventure, so when it comes time for romance anything can happen! as of this moment, nothing is written in stone, but things can change!

Sooo...

It is a maybe?

XD

How much words will the full version have? Will it be free or paid?

Hey! So I honestly haven't counted but there will be 5 chapters, and they are MUCH longer than this first chapter in the demo. I will release the next chapter (probably the longest of the 5) for free and after that I will charge a small price for the rest of the story :) 

Ohhh nice I'll be waiting for it
