I don't mind, but this comment section is probably not the best place to ask this stuff. I'm super active in my discord server if you ever want to chat: https://discord.gg/nGkDW7Ys2w

I talk about all kinds of stuff there, including game development.

Various sources. Almost all of the early stuff comes from https://dova-s.jp, but nowadays I use a wider variety.

If I were to list all of my sources of inspiration, I'd be writing a book, but some of the more prominent ones would be Doki Doki Literature Club, Life is Strange, various mythologies and the many hundreds of anime and manga I've watched/read. Of course there are plenty of other games/VNs/stories/... that have inspired me to various degrees over the years, this is just a few of them.

Android build will definitely stay below 2GB. The first two chapters only add up to a little over a gigabyte on mobile.

I'm aiming to have the game wrapped up sometime between late 2027 and early to mid 2028.

Girls will all have more than 1 h-scene.

Copying from the reply to the comment below:

Give or take 2-3 months. I'm working on two projects now (see recent announcements) so that's eating up a month every release. You can stay up to date on my Patreon or SubscribeStar and I regularly yap about progress in the Discord server as well (and subscribers have access to a progress tracker). 🙂

Check the event requirements (click the ?), there is probably one you haven't completed.

Hey! LiL was indeed one of many sources of inspiration (and one of the primary ones).

That's the download screen, not upload. You want to click "Upload saves" from the device where your saves are currently located and "Download saves" on the device you want to move your saves to.

And what do you see?

1. Click "Upload saves"
2. Click "Yes" when it asks if you want to continue
3. Sync ID is shown on screen

Sync IDs are valid for 1 hour.

You can pick between sandbox and linear mode (a more traditional VN format).

I have no plans to officially add languages other than English. A high quality translation of Lost in You would require a lot of time (and knowing the language). There are community translations, but I can't vouch for the quality of any of them (and in my experience, they usually aren't very good as it's just the game fed through an AI for translation more often than not).

Hey! The game isn't done yet, we just finished up chapter 2 in the recent 0.14 update and have one more chapter to go. I expect to finish the game sometime in 2027.

I was waiting for this after your previous comment. 😆

During her naming event, there's a specific name that will trigger a special reaction. You should have enough context clues from her previous events. ;)

It's a bit of work, but basically:

1. Win (land a hit) against her during her first arcade event
2. Have her strip during her "Cashing in" event
3. Continue your playthrough until her newest event

That's odd. What platform are you playing on? Have you tried not just reinstalling, but redownloading the game entirely (could be something got corrupted when downloading)?

If it's what I'm thinking, you don't need a correct answer there. Answering incorrectly three times also advances the game, and not getting it correct doesn't change anything.

Fix is already up! :) https://atrx.itch.io/lost-in-you/devlog/1086776/lost-in-you-v0142-hotfix

Update: Someone in the server pointed out the problem. You've probably missed Yui's "On the other side", which I forgot was a missable event when setting up the requirements... I'll try to get a hotfix out ASAP.

The Discord server is one option if you can't send a link here: https://discord.gg/nGkDW7Ys2w

Are you playing sandbox or linear mode? Could you send me your save file so I can take a look at what's going on?

And all of the requirements are met?

One google translate later... I don't speak the language and I'm not going to use AI for a low quality translation, so no.

Do you just go around asking for NTR on every game page? Maybe search for NTR games if you want NTR...?

You can use the cheat button to skip a question.

Unfortunately we're only allowed 10 tags, and these performed better. :( Maybe I'll try swapping out a tag for horror at some point to give it another shot, we'll see.

Correct. Chapter 2 will be ending next update. Chapter 3 will take another estimated 2 years of development.

We'll have 3 total.

What quiz?

All main girls are mandatory. 😉

The first is when you're not on Hina's route, the other is a specific name you have to enter during Nami's new naming event.

Some bonuses require switching to sandbox in the settings menu if you're playing linear (specifically the ones that require you to solve wordles in your room), but the story ones should all be able to be completed in either mode. There is an unlock code available for $5+ subscribers that I post together with every subscriber release.

No, we're coming up on the end of the second of three chapters. The game will continue to receive updates until sometime in 2027, based on my estimates.

There should be a messages button at the top of the character menu for any girl you've unlocked a message for.

I wouldn't call any of the planned endings a "bad ending", no.
