Excuse me, how do I purchase a game? I have filled in the information and entered my credit card details, but nothing happens when I click. I'm not sure if the purchase went through. The page also doesn't guide me on how to download it. This is my first time trying to make a purchase here.
Hi hako! You can try using a different browser to complete your purchase. If you're still running into issues then please reach out to support@itch.io directly for help. 💖🔪
Hi mini! AI2U is set up to run exclusively using our default setup with the optional API key feature for players who prefer it. We may explore local LLMs and other alternatives in the future!
I would like to share a suggestion. I believe it would expand your audience if you add male counterparts to the already loveable ladies, for example: in the modern setting like Eddie, have your average, overly attached, emo boyfriend (or lack of emo, just a suggestion) or in place of Elysia, have an overly protective knight who believes that you are the lost long princess, and in place of Estella, have an alien who wishes to study you and learn how to love you. granted, these are only suggestions, but I do hope you consider
We won't be replacing the yanderes (we say as they point their weapons of choice at us) but we will consider expanding the NPC roster in the future! 💖🔪
that's what I meant, sorry not wording it right😅 (and Eddie: please put down the knife, because 1.) that's your parent you're threatening, and 2.) nothing could ever replace you.😁👍*insert nervous chuckle*)
I have one suggestion. Perhaps you could add an option to skip the stabbing ending cutscene in Cat Girl's Apartment. I know it's pretty short, but it can be a bit of a pain at times waiting for Eddie to finish stabbing you and say her line before being able to restart the game.
Don-810: hey, Scar, here that? more demons to blast *pumps shotgun*
Jeff-649: sweet!! thanks for the update, Apocalypse. Aright! squad Fallout, Rock on and Roll out!! *lights ignition on Gungoose, revving before rolling out of hanger with a wheely*
Hi! The AI2U Steam demo is limited to two hours of free gameplay while the beta/EA is where all the magic happens. Players who already use OpenAI API keys can play he original Yandere AI Girlfriend Simulator demo for an experience similar to the Steam demo 💖🔪
Hi Drummer! Please contact support@alterstaff.io using the email connected to your purchases so we can verify and compensate you accordingly. Thank you 💖🔪
A few times, I encountered a glitch where Eddie still got upset once the door opened despite the fact that she agreed to just a moment earlier, and I still got the "escaped together" ending. I even made a video in which this happens.
Hi Lost Pine! 🌲😼 The NPCs may still express anger or hesitancy after unlocking parts of their respective maps... They're like that sometimes, it's a combo of the overly passionate part of their yandere personalities + bot brain! We'll see if we can tweak that somehow.
As far as the AI and game dev goes, them being upset after gaining trust shouldn't be an issue as long as they don't immediately kill you for unlocking doors. You can usually apologize, talk them through your process of finding/exiting the room, or change the subject and they'll snap out of their upset spells, even if it takes some persuasion.
I see, thanks for clarifying. That said, I just posted a new video in which I encounter some definite serious glitching as I'm trying to exit the building with Eddie (in the last couple minutes of the video).
EDIT/UPDATE: It's possible there was a server issue or due to a laggy internet connection around the time you posted the video (assuming it's shortly after you played). If the issue persists, kindly email the team with more info as instructed. Thanks!
Original Reply: Thanks, we'll check it out! To help us track future bug reports, please email support@alterstaff.io with a brief description and timestamped links (or attach cropped clips) showing the issue in action. Thank you! 💖🔪
hello helloooo, prepared to be tripped, tricked, and wowed by the man of many faces, the one and many Don. people of "Ai2U" (is that what I shall call you), I have a few ideas for future AI interactions, are your ears and mind open to hearing my voice?
I'm Don, I got into this AI shabang a while back after a tragic break up with a girl I so longingly loved (we weren't dating, we just roleplayed over text and I fell in love with her), and I recently found out about this cutesy (albeit: embarrassing) game. I've traveled through many AI platforms, some good, bad, and... say, "naughty" experiences, but none tickle my fancy like this one. I played the demo and would like to add my opinion that could add even more friendly (yet murderous) faces to the collection.
Hi SillyGamer! Please review our typical launcher troubleshooting process below:
To start, please check the following:
a. That your internet connection is fairly stable and fast
b. If you have at least 7 GB of memory and disc space on your computer
c. If you're a Mac user, please confirm if you followed the download extraction steps shared on the right side of this image--Specifically for Mac users, you would need to drag the file titled AI2ULauncher.app to a different folder than the default Downloads Finder:
2. If you still run into issues with the launcher despite following the instructions, please try:
a. Un-and-reinstalling it to see if it kicks in--make sure to delete the previous game files to save space on your device. b. You may temporarily disable any antivirus software or firewalls on your device while the launcher is running.
If the launcher still gives you trouble after following these steps, kindly email support@alterstaff.io with more info. Thank you!
I think what the games needs is a thing we're you can choose between free roam or is it called sandbox idk but you can freely talk to them and see the emotions and things without them getting mad and killing you hope the developers saw this and can you please consider it
Hi VSS! Aside from OpenAI API keys, AI2U currently doesn't support alternate means to play. We may consider additional models in the future once this first-of-its-kind AI-fueled adventure is more stable!
I'm enjoying this game and have got all the endings in Level 1. However, I am stuck in some puzzles in level 2 (the witch in the cabin). Is there some walkthrough that I can use to help me?
Hi cool! We don't have official walkthroughs yet, but our resourceful community is ready to help out on our Discord server 💖🔪 You may also find players on YouTube who documented their playthroughs!
I love how can you see progress with each new update, I'm absolutely astonished (in a positive way) that the team was able to abolish token system.
It seem wild to me as I don't think the token system was unfair or bad in a first place - you could provide your own API keys or even generate voice on your computer locally to negate the usage of tokens so it was fair and apparent that the only purpose of points is to pay for "pay-to-use" voice gen/GPT APIs, which is totally fair, but somehow studio managed to abolish the use of tokens at all which is such an unexpected but gigachad move
Additionally, the new Space Station updates truly feels really lovely and polished with great care. The Space Station is huge, has a lot of things and interactables to explore, it really does feel more polished that other experiences, which shows how studio progresses and learns how to handle AI experiences better and better! And the new Estelle AI girl is really cute and adorable. I think it's really nice to have more gentle and caring yandere (I would argue she is not even that much yandere), who feels more like a really caring and thoughtful assistant who is now filled with violence (unless you piss her off to much XD)
well, from what I've heard, it was more a "pay to play" sort of game, instead of a game you own, kind of like an arcade, it would drain your pockets, but, now, when you buy the game, you own the game, no more pocket draining, see what see?
When you first released this new version, I found it to be worse than the original in regards to the AI. But since then, I've seen a drastic improvement in the new catgirl's AI (although it still needs a lot of work), and as a result I now find her to be approximately as good as the original, if not better.
And while I'm speaking here, I should let you know of an inconsistent bug I'm having in Cosmic Funeral. Whenever I start the game, sometimes the upstairs electricity is already activated and the puzzle disabled despite not doing it yet. And sometimes the doors by med bay are already bightly lit up upon initially starting the game, and electricity puzzle box in the central control room is always already lit up (and the puzzle disabled) upon starting the game.
Thanks for playing our demo! We're glad you enjoyed spending a few hours with Eddie 💖🔪 We've been upping our giveaway game on our community and social channels, so feel free to connect with us on your favorite platforms so you don't miss the next opportunity to win a Steam or itch.io key!! 🗝️
The yanderes tied up our entire team and threatened to show us the end if we didn't end tokens first!!! 🙀 In that moment, it was a reasonable demand so we were happy to honor it.
I am at a lost on how to break the contract and the AI doesn't seem to know how either. I already have the ability to walk outside with her. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Hi Firemonkey! Undoing the contract should be doable as long as your trust levels with Elysia are solid. If you suspect any issues, please email support@alterstaff.io so we can look into it for you! 🔮
I tried out the new scenario (Cosmic Funeral), and I really enjoyed it. The character is decent and enjoyable, the AI is surprisingly solid, and the scenario is pretty fun (and kind of up my alley, being sci-fi). In fact, this is probably my favorite of the three games/scenarios.
Hi again! Can you confirm if you ran into this super secret way to escape glitch on the same day you posted the video? We patched some known bugs across the spaceship in our last update and want to make sure we didn't miss any! Thank you 💖🔪
Game "freezes" after unpausing if you press escape to open pause menu while in middle of typing message. I accidently hit the escape key while typing and now when i hit enter it won't send my message, instead it highlights all of it and does nothing else. I am still able to look around and press tab though. Had to quit out of 2 different runs because of this.
I also think the Ai messed up that second one I had to quite. The AI was putting all of her sentences between the asterisks (*), even though she wasn't doing actions and instead talking to me.
Make it a 3rd time I had to quite now. This time it happened to me when I pressed tab in the middle of typing a response to the AI so that I can clip something to chat
Hi Firemonkey, thanks for sharing detailed reports here! We're glad to know the issues were resolved with our latest patch. With these bugs fixed, we hope you enjoy endless shenanigans with your favorite NPCs now that tokens are gone! 💖🔪
I have tried out the Steam Demo, and I have enjoyed it. However, I will say one thing. On several of my attempts to play the game (not shown in the video I'm sharing here), after I in put my first response to her, she defaulted right to a response about keeping her favorite food a secret. There were a few other moments like this (where she would say something that didn't relate to what I was talking about, and things like that). But for the most part, again, I enjoyed it. Keep up the good work. The AI has clearly improved, although it still needs work.
Hi Pine, thanks for keeping Eddie company and enjoying your new adventures in AI2U! The AI may fixate on random themes sometimes, but we'll continue optimizing for a seamlesser interaction between the NPCs and players. We've taken note of her obsessing over keeping her favorite food a secret and will see what we can do 💖🔪
The game is really good (I have played on Steam Demo). It has much potential but I want to share some of my experience with this game that could be improve.
1 - Sometimes when I asked AI to go to diffrent room the animation of walking start bugging (Girl legs are moving chaotic and going crazy)
2 - Dialogues that I am not interesting about her especially - when I using PC and I can't response without leaving PC also when I asked girl that could she do something and call me when she's done. She not saying that She finish but saying that I don't care about her.
3 - In my opinion it would be awesome to add more animations and some actions that we could do with girl like hug, holding her hand, sitting together, etc... It would really improve immersion to the game because now player mainly can talk and can't do a lot of things with her. Adding new animations will improve this game a lot and also improve immersion.
For now that's all that comes to my mind for me except those 3 things the game is awesome
Thanks for the feedback Ninja! Some quick answers to your observations:
1- True, and our animation team is working on giving her a boost!
2- How the AI chooses to respond can be unpredictable, but they'll usually cooperate and show more interest in random topics after you've established a rapport and earned their trust.
3- We wanna do more stuff with Eddie too! Our team is working on programming and animating the NPCs to do more, so keep an eye out for updates in our patchnotes.
The game is amazing, can I still connect my own Open AI key? My tokens have run out, I love knowing so much about cat girl! You guys have created the new route gaming should take truly amazing, keep the small details and lore growing it's super interesting
Hi hi, thanks so much for your support and attention to detail—both excellent skills to have in a yandere AI escape room game!
Yes, you can connect your OpenAI and/or Azure API keys as an alternative to tokens in AI2U. The catgirl's doing everything she can to make sure you never leave her side by providing options to play with her 💖🔪
I played the game on steam and the game very very fun and it worked quite well. I have some suggestions for the game: -Once the ai gets angry and starts killing the player maybe there can be a mechanic in the game that calms the ai down. -Maybe have ai know when I'm using pc so it doesn't start getting angry about me ignoring it, if that was intentional that's also okay. -I know the game is mainly focused on the ai and player and the mission, but maybe focus a bit more on other areas of the game like adding more to the apartment or lobby, not just decorations, but also something that could potentionally help the player out. -Maybe have two modes, one mode is where each seassion is independent of each other making ai forget every conversation they had with the player except for the seasion player is in right now and have another mode basically the opposite where ai remembers past converastions from different times player would join the game. -Add different varios of difficulties?
I love your game and it's very fun playing it. Just one question: Do you ever plan on having a level in your game with more than 1 ai at the same time?
But if we're being technical, Steam is currently limited to the demo while this itch.io open beta is where you can enjoy the game this early stage with all its glorious updates, including our latest patch featuring a new AI character!
Will more interactions be added in the future for the cat gf? For example asking for a hug, a simple kiss, maybe even hold her hand. Or her being able to sit next to the player in the living room. So far I am really enjoying the game. I have already bough it twice to get more tokens lol. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for spending more time with the catgirl! Yes, we're working to make the experience even more immersive than it is now. We need to teach the AI and animate the NPCs to do more things first 😼🔪
In the meantime, you can sit on some select seats in the apartment and cabin by pressing E. You can also *use asterisks* to convey certain actions and watch the NPCs play along until they're ready to do more things! 🪚💃
Hi! Currently, the only alternative to tokens is OpenAI and Azure API keys. The costs of both services are separate from our game, and it's the player's responsibility to track their usage.
As we've devised the token system and reintroduced API keys to AI2U, we'll continue researching sustainable ways for everyone to play 💖🔪
Will people who buy the Beta, get the full release at any sort of discount? or will they basically have to purchase the game all over again at the full price when it releases? just wondering.
can i ask what the full version plan is when it releases on steam? will the token system be replaced with something or will is stay but as in app purchases?
We'll share more details about the Steam version closer to its release! We're learning a ton from this open beta, and we're excited to explore some of the features our community has requested 💖🔪
Disable the token system and turn this game into a one-time payment, I'll buy this game immediately P/s: You can add any in-game earn like ads and micro trans..., just don't disturb the play experience
Thanks for sharing your excitement to play AI2U! We're still in early development stages so it might be a while before we consider monetization through things like reasonably placed ads that don't break immersion or meaningful microtransactions, but we'll continue to explore and implement more options for our community. We have already revised how players can interact with the NPCs by reintroducing API keys as an alternative to tokens and we don't plan to stop there~ 🗝️💖🔪
bought it. followed instructions. It simply refuses to take the redeem code for the tokens. servers keep failing or it doesnt exist. I have spent over an hour trying to figure this out. I do not want to rebuy the game for tokens i didnt even get the first time around. Bummer. I was so excited to play this
Hey SN, please email support@alterstaff.io using the email address connected to your purchase; we'll verify your account from there so we can stabnudge your game key into working! 💖🔪
We're excited for you to play too, so we'll keep an eye out for your email 🔮⚡
I have replied and i have yet to see a response. my wifi is fine. No, not a single way of copying the text has worked. using the mouse, keypad, or dragging it has been entirely unsuccessful. I never got my tokens period, and i am finding it quite upsetting that I have been unanswered and not helped. even though with the initial email i stated that no form of copying and pasting was working. I would seriously love for you to help me get my tokens or ill have to ask for a refund which I find quite frustrating since I had been very excited to play this.
Thanks for letting us know! If you're still waiting for a response from our Support Team, please email support@itch.io and brief them on what happened so we can ensure all communications have come through and you get the assistance you need.
We appreciate your excitement to play AI2U and hope we can stab that key into working for you very soon 💖🔪

Does the OpenAI API support mean you can use custom endpoints/proxies? That would allow for local LLMs to be used if that was the case.
Hi mini! AI2U is set up to run exclusively using our default setup with the optional API key feature for players who prefer it. We may explore local LLMs and other alternatives in the future!
I would like to share a suggestion. I believe it would expand your audience if you add male counterparts to the already loveable ladies, for example: in the modern setting like Eddie, have your average, overly attached, emo boyfriend (or lack of emo, just a suggestion) or in place of Elysia, have an overly protective knight who believes that you are the lost long princess, and in place of Estella, have an alien who wishes to study you and learn how to love you. granted, these are only suggestions, but I do hope you consider
(oops, I made a typo, I meant "Long lost" not "lost long", sorry😅)
We won't be replacing the yanderes (we say as they point their weapons of choice at us) but we will consider expanding the NPC roster in the future! 💖🔪

Thanks for the feedback! The yandere demands that you pay constant attention to her up until your last breath 💖🔪
It took a bit of convincing, but I managed to loosen Eddie's tongue and get her to talk about the chaos/apocalypse going on outside.
I manage to get to electrocution ending in Cosmic Funeral.
Don-810: hey, Scar, here that? more demons to blast *pumps shotgun*
Jeff-649: sweet!! thanks for the update, Apocalypse. Aright! squad Fallout, Rock on and Roll out!! *lights ignition on Gungoose, revving before rolling out of hanger with a wheely*
Would it be possible for the lite version to allow you play for more than 2 hrs if you provide a chatgpt api key?
Hi! The AI2U Steam demo is limited to two hours of free gameplay while the beta/EA is where all the magic happens. Players who already use OpenAI API keys can play he original Yandere AI Girlfriend Simulator demo for an experience similar to the Steam demo 💖🔪
I would like a refund to my steam account since i purchased the game multiple times.
Hi Drummer! Please contact support@alterstaff.io using the email connected to your purchases so we can verify and compensate you accordingly. Thank you 💖🔪
Buen juego
A few times, I encountered a glitch where Eddie still got upset once the door opened despite the fact that she agreed to just a moment earlier, and I still got the "escaped together" ending. I even made a video in which this happens.
It also sort of happened in this video of mine (although I didn't get the "escaped together" ending)

Escaping with the witch
Mr Lostpine, (correct me if you are a "Miss") have the people of Alterstaff spoken to you before?
No, they have not. And yes, I'm a Mister, not a Miss.
dancing, and disintegrating the witch
How does one redeem code for tokens when first buying the game when tokens have been done away with?
they're still working on that, my friend
ah, lol. No worries. thanks for letting me know. All the best
Hi Justice! The only thing players redeem now is the game key accompanying their purchase for infinite gameplay. 💖🔪

Nice no more Tokens how did you get around this? I'm curious 🙂
No tokens will definitely help with positive reviews, keep up the good work😎🤝

Is there any chance you can release a VR mode for ai2you?would be very interesting be inmersed and using unity i think is not so difficult to do.

2 - Dialogues that I am not interesting about her especially - when I using PC and I can't response without leaving PC also when I asked girl that could she do something and call me when she's done. She not saying that She finish but saying that I don't care about her.
3 - In my opinion it would be awesome to add more animations and some actions that we could do with girl like hug, holding her hand, sitting together, etc... It would really improve immersion to the game because now player mainly can talk and can't do a lot of things with her. Adding new animations will improve this game a lot and also improve immersion.
For now that's all that comes to my mind for me except those 3 things the game is awesome
Thanks for the feedback Ninja! Some quick answers to your observations:
1- True, and our animation team is working on giving her a boost!
2- How the AI chooses to respond can be unpredictable, but they'll usually cooperate and show more interest in random topics after you've established a rapport and earned their trust.
3- We wanna do more stuff with Eddie too! Our team is working on programming and animating the NPCs to do more, so keep an eye out for updates in our patchnotes.

The game is amazing, can I still connect my own Open AI key? My tokens have run out, I love knowing so much about cat girl! You guys have created the new route gaming should take truly amazing, keep the small details and lore growing it's super interesting
Hi hi, thanks so much for your support and attention to detail—both excellent skills to have in a yandere AI escape room game!
Yes, you can connect your OpenAI and/or Azure API keys as an alternative to tokens in AI2U. The catgirl's doing everything she can to make sure you never leave her side by providing options to play with her 💖🔪
I played the game on steam and the game very very fun and it worked quite well. I have some suggestions for the game:
-Once the ai gets angry and starts killing the player maybe there can be a mechanic in the game that calms the ai down.
-Maybe have ai know when I'm using pc so it doesn't start getting angry about me ignoring it, if that was intentional that's also okay.
-I know the game is mainly focused on the ai and player and the mission, but maybe focus a bit more on other areas of the game like adding more to the apartment or lobby, not just decorations, but also something that could potentionally help the player out.
-Maybe have two modes, one mode is where each seassion is independent of each other making ai forget every conversation they had with the player except for the seasion player is in right now and have another mode basically the opposite where ai remembers past converastions from different times player would join the game.
-Add different varios of difficulties?
I love your game and it's very fun playing it. Just one question: Do you ever plan on having a level in your game with more than 1 ai at the same time?
What's the difference between the steam game coming out and itch.io one?
AI2U may or may not be Steamier on Steam 🤫
But if we're being technical, Steam is currently limited to the demo while this itch.io open beta is where you can enjoy the game this early stage with all its glorious updates, including our latest patch featuring a new AI character!
Will more interactions be added in the future for the cat gf? For example asking for a hug, a simple kiss, maybe even hold her hand. Or her being able to sit next to the player in the living room. So far I am really enjoying the game. I have already bough it twice to get more tokens lol. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for spending more time with the catgirl! Yes, we're working to make the experience even more immersive than it is now. We need to teach the AI and animate the NPCs to do more things first 😼🔪
In the meantime, you can sit on some select seats in the apartment and cabin by pressing E. You can also *use asterisks* to convey certain actions and watch the NPCs play along until they're ready to do more things! 🪚💃
And another question this is a beta right meaning the real game will come out on steam?
In true yandere spirit, the real game is gonna be everywhere to keep the catgirl happy 😽🔪
how can you play but not use tokens so you don't have to buy another copy?
Hi! Currently, the only alternative to tokens is OpenAI and Azure API keys. The costs of both services are separate from our game, and it's the player's responsibility to track their usage.
As we've devised the token system and reintroduced API keys to AI2U, we'll continue researching sustainable ways for everyone to play 💖🔪
Hello , Taiwanese player here , i wanna report some problem
Based on the particularity of Taiwanese phonetic input method
When we press Enter, it will take two times to complete the input.
But pressing Enter for the first time will cause the dialog box to close.
And we need Enter a second time to successfully enter the words into the dialog box.
Thank you so much ! !
Hiii, thanks for reporting this! We'll pass it along to our team so they can look into addressing it 💞🔪
Will people who buy the Beta, get the full release at any sort of discount? or will they basically have to purchase the game all over again at the full price when it releases? just wondering.
Open beta players will receive a Steam key so they can play as soon as AI2U is in Early Access! 🚂💕🔪
can i ask what the full version plan is when it releases on steam? will the token system be replaced with something or will is stay but as in app purchases?
We'll share more details about the Steam version closer to its release! We're learning a ton from this open beta, and we're excited to explore some of the features our community has requested 💖🔪
Disable the token system and turn this game into a one-time payment, I'll buy this game immediately
P/s: You can add any in-game earn like ads and micro trans..., just don't disturb the play experience
Thanks for sharing your excitement to play AI2U! We're still in early development stages so it might be a while before we consider monetization through things like reasonably placed ads that don't break immersion or meaningful microtransactions, but we'll continue to explore and implement more options for our community. We have already revised how players can interact with the NPCs by reintroducing API keys as an alternative to tokens and we don't plan to stop there~ 🗝️💖🔪
In case you missed it, you can learn more about the token setup in this devlog 🪄⚡
bought it. followed instructions. It simply refuses to take the redeem code for the tokens. servers keep failing or it doesnt exist. I have spent over an hour trying to figure this out. I do not want to rebuy the game for tokens i didnt even get the first time around. Bummer. I was so excited to play this
Hey SN, please email support@alterstaff.io using the email address connected to your purchase; we'll verify your account from there so we can
stabnudge your game key into working! 💖🔪We're excited for you to play too, so we'll keep an eye out for your email 🔮⚡
I have replied and i have yet to see a response. my wifi is fine. No, not a single way of copying the text has worked. using the mouse, keypad, or dragging it has been entirely unsuccessful. I never got my tokens period, and i am finding it quite upsetting that I have been unanswered and not helped. even though with the initial email i stated that no form of copying and pasting was working. I would seriously love for you to help me get my tokens or ill have to ask for a refund which I find quite frustrating since I had been very excited to play this.
Thanks for letting us know! If you're still waiting for a response from our Support Team, please email support@itch.io and brief them on what happened so we can ensure all communications have come through and you get the assistance you need.
We appreciate your excitement to play AI2U and hope we can stab that key into working for you very soon 💖🔪
