One lie (0.12.0)
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
The game is about two lifelong friends. Julie (you’ll have a chance to give her a different name.) makes a mistake that causes Mike (you will be playing as him and are given a chance to name him) to end their friendship and leave the town where they have lived all their lives.
Julie cannot just let it end this way because she does love him.
She decides to chase after him with the hope that he will at least forgive her for her mistake and maybe more.
You, as Mike, will have to discover what you feel for Julie.
The current state of the development:
- Chapter 4 - Anh + FC, FC + Alex, Harem routes.
- Ended - FC solo route, Anh solo route.
I am currently working on the ending of the FC's (Julie) solo route.
The next few updates will be the endings for each of the routes.

I really like what you are doing here. I can see where you tried to find your footing on the visual side in the prologue and first chapter (I mean, Bobbie is a wreck, but you really tried to figure something out).
I like this game... it's not perfect, but I like what you are trying to do and where you are going.
But for the sanity of those of us with "military grade tinnitus (tm)" please find some free music to drop in this thing. Even if the loops you can find DRM free are garbage that doesn't match the vibe of the scenes, please put some background tracks in. My ears have been ringing longer than any most of these fictional characters are expected to have been alive and .... Yeshu Faak, if it weren't for an external spotify I wouldn't be three hours into gameplay.
LOL. Happy to hear that you like the game.
Music is not easy to deal with. I have to have license for it, for the game to be on Steam. There are many other problems with licensing. Yes, even for the "copyright free" music, as some of the devs have been finding out the hard way. For example. Copyright free, might not be a blanket license. They might also not want to have their music to be used in an adult oriented game. Even some of the most expensive music out there does not want to have anything to do with Adult games.
In short, I simply have no money to risk using any of the music out there. The game has not made any profit and my budget to make the game itself is almost zero. Just whatever I can scrape by from very low income. If the game wasn't on Steam I would have added some music. There was main menu music and outro music, before we went on Steam.
Game looks promising though just to have player focused on just to play as a male MC perspective not to have the option to play from Julie's seems almost not really balanced in terms of the character development...as it is in just chapter 4 a minor adjustment/idea incorporate it so all genres of players would be more for playing games such as this in the present and future.
Not sure if this is where I should put bugs, but there's an exception error on line 6445 of Chapter03.rpy, "noalexkiss" should be "not alexkiss"
Thank you. Could you, if possible send me traceback file?
Which version are you playing (PC/linux, Mac or android)?
It's PC/Linux 0.5.1,
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Did you start a new game or did you load a save when you started this chapter?
It was a new game when I got the error, but when I first updated from 4.1 to 5.1, I did load a previous save from the anh/julie route at the end of Ch 2
Fixed.
Just move the file to the 'game' directory and overwrite.

Thanks again for pointing out the error.
No problem, It's a good VN, and thanks for the fix!
Happy to hear you are enjoying it.
I've played this game a few times already but how do I get both girls?
any femdom in this game and character name, please?
No femdom, sorry.
Honestly, the art and the story itself isn't bad. The way it's all worded though isn't the best. I'm also not a fan of the whole roommate trying to get with Julie, maybe if Julie's roommate tried getting with the MC then made the same deal Julie and Ahn made then it'd make sense.. But her trying to kiss Julie so soon after meeting just doesn't sit right.. Another thing I'd like to make a point on is Julie "loves" him but they hadn't even had their first kiss after confessing. That just doesn't make sense to me.
They have kissed. Even on the slowest route possible. And on the other two routes they had sex. Not sure how you missed that.
As far as Alex kissing Julie goes. It was a heat of the moment thing. She doesn't even know MC, yet. Aside from his name and that he has something to do with Julie being sad. She did realize that she made a mistake and says as much. Apologized more than once for it.
Wait what route is that on? With Julie and MC sex?
There are three possible routes for Julie. Her "fast" solo route. You have to ignore Anh and forgive Julie the first chance you get to do so. Second route is where you forgive her the second time you get a chance and the third is a throuple route (dating both Anh and Julie).
ok ill check it out. when is the next update tho?
Still a couple of months away, at best. Rendering is being a bit difficult at the moment. Lots of fairly complex (for me anyway) scenes. Plus quite a few animations that take a while to render with my hardware.
thats understandable, well keep up the good work!
Hi there,
Couple times the coding for the replacement names leads to MC or FC being displayed in the conversation proper if the player chose to skip the re-naming process. Either that or you wrote MC/FC and planned to correct it later.
Do you remember exactly where you saw the MC or FC being displayed? So I can take a look and try to fix it?
Didn't, but the game is not that long currently so i went through the story really quick.
After first math class together Julie tells Mike "MC, can we talk." On a sidenote that sounds like a question so shouldn't there be a "?" ?
Then after Mike met Julie at the cafe, and have had fun with Anh, he feels guilty and Anh says
"You are not leading me on. I wanted this. I am the one who should be sorry. You told me that you are confused by what you feel for FC and myself and i still went on and allowed you to give me the best orgasm i've ever had."
Those are the only ones i found this time, not entirely sure there was any other occurence. Hope that helps.
Also, there is another slightly weird thing, when Mike first meets Anh if one selects the "Look down" option, the screen displays Mike saying "Look down". And then the screen where he actually looks down is displayed.
Fixed, and ready for the next release (along with new errors)
Thank you.
Glad i could help.
By the way that's nice of you to step in to help.
