Just keeping my promise to keep you all updated with the latest progress and upcoming releases! Feel free to share your thoughts on Discord or in the comments — I really appreciate your feedback!

What’s coming in the next update?
Well, based on some of your suggestions, here’s what’s being added:

Don’t worry — pacing is being carefully handled so everything flows naturally!

About that “Hayato chit chat about Akane”...
Yep, that’ll be addressed in the next update too!
Remember, the MC only agreed to start dating — so their first real date will determine whether they officially become a couple or not. Once Akane reveals everything, that’ll be your last chance to lock her in as a girlfriend… and descend into the chaos of either the Romance or Corruption paths.

Everything is marching well, and if everything goes according to plan, the next update should be ready by mid-next week!

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out — I’m always happy to hear from you!

Thanks again for all your support ❤️

We’re getting closer to releasing the demo version of the game!
 I’m still not sure if it will include explicit content just yet, but I’m working hard to ensure the pacing feels just right before all the chaos unfolds. Either way, there will be some spicy scenes to give you a clear idea of what’s coming!

In the meantime, here are some preview pics of the new characters being introduced in the game.
 I’ve been reading your comments and suggestions, and trust me — I hear you loud and clear.
 I’m doing my best to create the game I’ve envisioned, while also taking your feedback into account.
 So, here they are:

🎸 The Hollow Strings – The school’s music club, full of cute and intriguing girls!
🍒 Cherry Shaft – Each of these girls hides a secret between their legs... and yes, their routes are completely avoidable.
💥 The Buntai Riotz Boys – The school bullies. Will they be your enemies, your allies, or simply tools in your story?

These are just a few of the characters introduced in the prologue — and there are many more waiting for their moment to shine.
There’s a ton of new faces, but the core four main characters are still the heart of the story.

And yes — remember: every character and path is optional.
Into Your Heart is a visual novel where you choose your own way through the story while following a main plotline.

Thank you so much for sticking with me this far! 🙌

I’m really sorry for the long silence — I know it’s been a while without updates, but the project is still very much alive. In fact, I’m now working on it full time. From here on, my full attention is going into making this game as good and polished as it can be.

So… what happened?

Let me be honest: the game needed more than just new content — it needed a complete remaster.

Thanks to your support, I was able to upgrade my PC and make major improvements:

But the changes weren’t just technical. I went back and reworked the structure of the story and the characters too. The original version lost its balance — some routes were rushed, others didn’t reflect the tone I wanted. I wanted a meaningful experience, not just a collection of fetishes. So I restructured everything around a more mature and focused vision.

🕘 Story Progression

The full story will now span across 50 in-game days, divided as follows:

Each 3-day cycle is designed like this:

This structure allows for better pacing without sacrificing choice or player freedom.

👩‍🎨 Character Visual Rework

Most characters have been visually updated to fit the new art style and feel more polished:

💬 Personality Updates

Some characters now have better-defined personalities to enhance interactions:

💖 Romance Paths & Fetishes

To create stronger and more focused content:

Each main character now has only two routes:

This system allows for deeper character development and removes the need to rush through routes just to reach certain scenes. Fetishes like NTR, gay routes, etc., can be disabled at the start, hiding related content entirely and adjusting the game experience accordingly.

🎮 New Features & Systems

🧠 And Finally… the Story

The story remains the same at its core but has been reworked scene by scene. Instead of a sudden shift into darkness, the new version builds up the tension gradually. The characters start to notice things changing around them. Choices matter, and the consequences aren’t always obvious — sometimes, the “good” choice leads to something even worse.

This time, I want the game to not only entertain you but also make you feel something — confusion, desire, fear, guilt, and maybe even love. The rework isn’t just visual or mechanical. It’s philosophical. This isn’t just a lewd game anymore — it’s an experience.

Thank you for being patient, for supporting the game, and for believing in this project. I know this was a long update, but I wanted to be as transparent and detailed as possible. There's still a lot more to come — including a public demo — and from now on, updates will be much more frequent.

Also — if you have any suggestions, now is the perfect time to share them.
While the core essence of the game will remain intact, your ideas can help improve and shape many elements during the remaster. Suggestions will always be considered with care, especially now that the game is being rebuilt from the ground up. Just keep in mind that some things might not be added if they clash too much with the original vision — but your feedback matters more than ever. 

If you read all the way down here... I love you. ❤️
