About

Play as Alex, a husband fighting for a fading marriage with Julia in a phone-messenger story. Text, call, and scroll her secret blog, follow leads with your friend Chad, and make tough choices that shift three meters—LOVE, NTS (netorase/open relationship), and NTR (jealousy/infidelity). Your decisions unlock routes: rebuild trust, agree to open boundaries, or lose her.​

YBU Chapter 4 for Free

Hey everyone! 👋
We're excited to bring you the latest chapter in Alex and Julia's story, and let me tell you – this one takes things to a whole new level.
After the dramatic events of Chapter 3, Alex finds himself walking deeper into the shadows. Night Whisper has orchestrated something far more twisted than before, and this time, the stakes are impossibly high. Alex enters a mysterious room where reality blurs with his darkest fears, and what he discovers there will shake him to his core.
Julia finds herself in a situation that will test every boundary Alex thought existed in their relationship. The messages keep coming, each one more disturbing than the last. Photos. Provocations. Philosophical musings about pleasure and morality that would make anyone's skin crawl. But behind all this manipulation, there's a bigger question: Is Julia really part of this game, or has Alex been played all along?
This chapter dives deep into Alex's psyche as he struggles between jealousy, confusion, and a strange arousal he doesn't want to acknowledge. He's forced to watch, to question, to doubt everything he thought he knew about his wife. The tension builds with every message from the mysterious antagonist, who seems to be orchestrating an elaborate psychological experiment.
And just when Alex thinks he's figured it all out, when he's ready to confront Julia and lay everything on the table – fate throws him another curveball. A message from Chad changes everything. Duke is back in the picture, and Alex must make a choice: face the truth with his wife, or pursue the revenge he's been craving?
Chapter 4 is intense, provocative, and filled with moral dilemmas that will keep you on the edge of your seat. It pushes the boundaries of trust, tests the limits of desire, and leaves you wondering: how far would you go if someone was playing games with the person you love most?

Weekly Progress Report 10

Hello everyone!
I want to sincerely apologize to you all. The latest chapter really exposed a huge number of problems in the game and revealed many technical issues that I'm making while creating this visual novel. Right now, I think I'm still learning how to make games and understanding what the audience ultimately enjoys. And most importantly, whether I can use my enthusiasm and passion to tell the story the audience wants to hear in the most engaging way—for them and for myself.
As the last chapter showed, many people didn't understand what I was trying to convey. I attribute this to the fact that the entire narrative is delivered through a mobile phone interface. The scale of my ideas is colossal, enormous. I have some experience in script writing for TV series, and in my head, I immediately envision grand cinematic scenes that should unfold. But when you frame it all through a phone screen, the magic of the scene breaks down through text messages. Basically, I've cornered myself with this phone messenger engine.
Initially, I chose this format because it seemed like the simplest approach—I could essentially just write the script and occasionally insert images that fit the moment. This format requires more screenwriting skills than directorial shot composition skills. But now I realize it's the opposite—I actually want more directorial control over shots. I want to tell the story more like a traditional visual novel rather than a phone-based one.
So I'm actively thinking about finishing this first visual novel and then, with all the experience I've gained, stepping up to the next level and releasing an even better, newer visual novel in the same spirit as this one, but with full directorial vision, proper shot composition, engaging scenes, and an intricate plot.
What are your thoughts on this? Would you be interested in seeing a traditional visual novel format in the future?
Thank you for staying with me through this learning journey. Your support means everything.
Why not just remake YBU? Julia is really hot and I wouldn't want to see her story quickly rushed off in order to start something new. But if your next game has a hot busty blonde woman as the player character who can have the choice to cheat on her husband then that would be cool lol

Hello everyone!
I need to offer you all a sincere apology. I believe the latest chapter release was a complete failure. You've given me feedback about the huge number of errors, the unpassable choice menu that blocked progression, and various other technical issues that players encountered. I want to deeply apologize to everyone, and I guarantee that I will fix all of these problems in the near future—and definitely before the next chapter release.
I'm still learning the programming side of development, and I haven't fully mastered this engine yet. Sometimes I have to insert certain values through trial and error, but I'm learning, and soon I believe I'll be able to resolve all these technical issues.
As for the story itself, there hasn't been much constructive feedback on that front, so I'd really like to know what you thought of the latest chapter from a narrative perspective. I'd appreciate more specific feedback from you so I can take it into account when writing the next chapter.
What did you think of the character development? Were the emotional moments impactful? Did the pacing feel right? Your detailed thoughts would help me tremendously.
Thank you for your patience and understanding. Your support means everything, and I'm committed to delivering a better experience moving forward.

YBU Chapter 3 for Free

Hello everyone!
I’m excited to announce that Chapter 3 is finally here! 💥
This chapter picks up right after the “closet morning” — when Alex stumbles upon something he definitely wasn’t expecting to find. What follows is one of the most playful and intimate conversations between him and Julia so far. Through their messages, we see teasing, jealousy, curiosity, and a new level of honesty between them.
Julia becomes bolder, revealing her hidden desires, while Alex tries to keep up — torn between surprise, excitement, and doubt. Their dynamic changes quickly, and for the first time, they begin to explore what trust and confession truly mean in their relationship.
The new chapter is filled with flirtation, tension, and moments that blur the line between love and curiosity. I really hope you enjoy it and feel even closer to the characters as their story unfolds. ❤️
Thank you for your incredible support and feedback — it means the world to me and keeps this project alive.

Weekly Progress Report 7

Hello everyone!
I really, really want to release the next part of my game on time — but unfortunately, I ran into an unexpected family emergency that completely threw me off schedule for about a week and a half. I’ll do my best to still release everything by the 10th, but I’m afraid I might not make it in time. I’m really sorry if I end up being late.
This new chapter will be a bit longer and more story-rich than the previous ones. There will be more context, more interesting scenes, and, most importantly — real progress in the story toward that moment we’ve all been waiting for.
I just wanted to be honest with you in advance — life happens, and sometimes things beyond our control slow us down. Thankfully, everything in my family is getting better now, so I’m back on track and working hard again.
Thank you so much for your patience and for always supporting me. It really means the world. ❤️
