Development Update & Happy Lunar New Year!

Thank you for showing interest on our game!

We have received over 200 responses of the questionnaire for our Trial Version.
We appreciate all the players who have given us a lot of feedbacks and reviews! This mean an awful lot to us.

Currently we are working hard on the next chapter of the game. You can click here to check out what we have been focusing on, not only story-wise but also system-wise.



The Lunar New Year has come for us, and apparently for Steam as well. So we wish you all have a good holiday! (or weekend)

P.S. If you see an announcement for another game on our store page, that is sent by the team from Lewd Formosa on accident, and we couldn't delete it ourselves.
We apologize for the inconvenience.

New game announcement: RoboLife-Days with Aino

Warning: this is a NSFW game announcement, make sure you are adult to see this post


Hi, this is Angus Huang: producer & team leader for Barance Games
Development on RoboLife-Days with Aino is moving at a brisk pace.
We should be ready to release the game by summer of this year.

As a new team, we chose to develop this as a visual novel with management mechanics. Allow me to put a introduction below.

Story Intro


This is a romantic comedy about a robot girl's journey of self-discovery.
In order to graduate from Ahroy Academy, famed for its prowess in AI, I need to program and train an android to function seamlessly in society.
But...

“Orders received, eliminating target.”

Aino, an android I dragged back from the dump, lunged at me with a blade the moment she opened her eyes. If she hadn't experienced a system error, I would've died a virgin! After learning about her inaccessible black box, and her inability to recall her past, I saw an opportunity for cooperation.

“This place is pretty run down, but Aino accepts your proposal.”
“Thanks for putting it delicately. Are you really an android?”

I'll help her uncover her past, and in exchange, she'll help me graduate!
We'll be living together as man and android, in an exciting, chaotic, heart-pounding cohabitation arrangement!
Like I said, it's a romantic comedy about a robot girl's journey of self-discovery!
