After Hours

Windows / Linux / macOS — no Android build yet. This is the Prologue: six nights, free, and finished on its own terms.

It's 22:00. The neon sign hums its two words at the wet street: AFTER HOURS — OPEN 22:00–06:00.

Three weeks ago this café belonged to Em. Then Em vanished, and a lawyer handed you a key, a debt, and a note: "Keep the lights on for them. They have nowhere else to go."

Now the night shift of the city drifts through your door — the barista who never left, the nurse who comes for ten minutes of quiet, the DJ who closes the place down instead of going home. Pour the specials, keep the lights on, and let the stories land on your counter.

AFTER HOURS is a cozy-noir dating sim: warm lamps against blue rain, slow-burn routes, a quiet mystery about the woman who left, and a season that closes on the sixth night.

Features

• Six nights. One night makes you choose which two of three guests get your attention — the third keeps walking. Nothing here is a bar you fill.
• Two routes open in the Prologue — Naomi and Sara — and a first look at a third.
• A city mystery that opens across the season and does not close in it (Em's Notebook keeps the clues).
• Lo-fi score written for this game in code, not licensed and not generated: five loops, no samples. The scene audio is three licensed voice packs, credited below.
• 18+ content behind an age gate on first launch.

AI disclosure

The art is AI-assisted and curated by hand — 462 candidates rendered, 27 shipped. This is said here, and again on the first screen of the game. The writing is AI-assisted as well. The score is neither: five loops written in code for this game — no samples, no audio models. The scene audio is licensed human recordings, played as recorded — no AI processing; credits below.

Audio credits

Scene audio comes from three voice packs of the OpenNSFW Sound Project, licensed CC BY 4.0 (creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/), edited for this game (trimmed, levelled, faded) and played as recorded — never processed by a model:

• 728Kaya — Kaya Voicepack [OpenNSFWSP]
• HellicaVA Voicepack [OpenNSFWSP]
• Nariaudios — Nariko Nabi Voicepack [OpenNSFWSP]

Credited as packs, per the project's terms; the performers did not work on this game.

Note

This is the free public build, and at 0.1 it is the only build. Nothing to pledge, nothing to buy. The next build lands 2026-10-31 — and if it lands on that date, that is when a Patreon opens.

Rating

Adult (18+). Age gate on first launch. No prohibited content (no incest / non-consent / minors / bestiality).

Kess: femboy — an optional route, chosen by the player.
