Alive
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
You are a programmer who's recently lost his job. You've done well for yourself, so this is the perfect time to finally move on from your breakup three years ago. Lately you've been just coasting through life, with only your best friend Freddie to keep you afloat.
Everything changes when you meet Nikki, the aspiring photographer, and her childhood friend Erin. And then there's Mary - the seemingly innocent barista who has a long-harbored crush. Meanwhile Erin's troubled ex boyfriend threatens not just her, but everyone around her - even you.
What path you take is up to you. Will you just get by, just happy to live? Or will you finally.... be Alive?
Also, a bonus Chrismas render from 2k21.
With 9 Possible endings, over a dozen unique paths, 6000+ renders, dozens of animations, and multiple optional minigames, Alive provides hours of gameplay. How the story ends is up to you!

Como eu faço para passar de uma fase do telefone, na casa da Nikki antes de ir para a casa na praia
If you are playing a demo version there may be a potential bug blocking progress - however the demo ends almost immediately after anyway. If you are playing the official version it should progress automatically.
Apologies, i can seem to get the steam key to work
good game mate
Kind of surprised it is over just like that. Feels like we barely got to know the characters, but I enjoyed what I did get to learn about them.
Starts out a little clunky... the pacing is a bit fast in the beginning, but after you progress, it smooths out and gets really good.
OK, I've played this 3 times. Once for each girl ... Nikki, Mary, then finally Erin and I'm absolutely in love with Erin... I was going to rate this a 3, maybe a 4 ... but after the Erin story arc, I upped it to a 5. I absolutely love this one.
I see several similarities (story wise) to Leap Of Faith by Drifty. I'm very anxious for the next update.
Keep up the great work!
great story looking forward to either more content or a new game
can have a harem?
What is the name of the song at the beginning? I have been looking for it for 3 days
Depends what you mean by "beginning". The Intro scene is "The Tyrant" by Kevin MacLeod. The "intro" (opening credits) is "Hold On" by Myuu. The music on the main menu is "Take Me Higher" by CJbeards - his music is used fairly extensively, and can be found on youtube (just search youtube for CJbeards, he makes some good stuff).
Also note: all music is available (song name and artist) via the music player on the main menu.
Thank you very much! I found many versions to take me higher! There is no such version! Now we have it! I am a foreign player! Thank you very much! I will continue to support you!
Bought the game for $5 a month ago and the new chapter is out with no way to upgrade my current version etc
If you are having problems please contact me on discord and I'll sort it out for you.
lmao idk why i tried buying it again for 3.99 so now i've payed the 8.99 listed total but cant access part 5
I can't do it in comments, but if you can contact me on discord (link is on the main page) I can sort this out pretty quickly for you. Discord name is "Noping"
Is there a walkthrough available somewhere I'm missing 2 scenes and have no idea how to get them. Haha
There is not. I had considered creating one to go with the Chapter 7 release, but that's a bit away, and have no plans to make one before that - doing so is a pretty significant time investment, and for now I'd prefer to spend that time creating more content.
Fair enough. Still enjoying the content. Keep up the good work.
I don't think purple font on black background is the best option. Very difficult to read on Android device
It's not supposed to look like that at all. Thank you for this, i'll consider it a bug report. I personally do not own an android device, so I am unable to properly test the android version. I didn't know it looked like that there, so I'll take a look and see what I can do about improving it.
(FYI on PC it's purple text, on a light grey background which is much more readable. I'll see if I can either change the text color, or the background color for android devices).
Awesome, thanks! I'll happily be the android device guinea pig and let you know if I find any other bugs 😁
Thanks!
If you find any others, or want more info on being a "guinea pig", I can be contacted on discord - link to server is above, my name in discord is "noping"
A white/light gray outline could also easily make any 'darker' color font stand out on a darker background. I've seen a couple VNs do that on specifically darker scenes. Not sure how easy that would be, but an idea nonetheless.
Anal sex?
Can you add a screen where it shows your strength and stamina workout? I keep forgetting which one I done before.
If I have the opportunity, I want to add a stats screen (accessible from phone) that will show those stats, as well as relationship values with various characters. There's no reason for them to be hidden, I just have trouble with the actual UI element design part of it.
It's on the list to be added, it's just a matter of figuring out how to design it first.
If I can't (or don't have time to) design the entire UI, what I'll end up doing is adding a little counter up on the top of the screen (that will only show up during that part of the game) that will display the values.
Great Game but why the porn scenes in TV. Probably supposed to be funny but makes everything feel not real.
I also don't like that if you don't go to the club the first day you meet a woman which you can't reject and avoid. There always should be a choice. Fortunately you can go to the club that night and all choices are possible.
Oh shit
FYi The font you use here is very hard to read.
Yea - I'm not very good at web design. It's definitely one of those things I fail at. I do agree though - I changed the font to be a little more readable, and the color to be a little less bright. Hopefully that helps.
This is a lot better. I can help with html if you want, although I don't have heaps of time.
I can tell it's new but for it being new it's really good, I'm excited to watch this game be developed into something great!
it is a great begining waiting for more
