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 💖🔪
Hey Chad, thanks for sharing! We'll take a look for our future LLM dev efforts.
As AI2U is in open beta, we're focused on the game's stability alongside its AI component to ensure the story and overall experience run as intended. We may explore more LLMs in the future, and will refer to community recommendations for our reference 💖🔪
Hi, fellow coder! If you need a refund for any reason, kindly email support@alterstaff.io so we can verify your account and refund accordingly. Our thoughts are with you and your loved ones 💌
Could you make a specific day to give it away for free? because my favorite YouTuber already played this game and I really wanted to play it... could I do that? I would love this :3 please :_( thank you for reading this ♡
Hiii! We'll announce any revisions made to the token system or overall price on our official channels 😺 Make sure you're following us on Discord or socials so you can stay up to date! We hope you get a chance to play soon~ 💖🔪
I'm not certain I'm the intended market. I understand what a yandere needs- Just don't resist. You don't really NEED to go outside. Why would you? She's right here! I wonder how Eddie will handle living with a yandere herself~
I'm actually VERY excited about this game and I'm looking forward to playing it on stream! 💕
Oh, you can ABSOLUTELY succumb to the temptation of staying indoors with cute Eddie in her cozy apartment! Just make sure you don't "ignore" her so she doesn't jump to any dramatic conclusions 😼🔪
Thanks for sharing your excitement to play! We can't wait to watch your playthrough 💖
Thanks for playing with Eddie over the weekend, Sora! We can tell she trusts you and that she had a blast~ 😸💖
We hope you get a chance to play with Elysia soon! How epic would it be to reach your identical triple-digit follower goals while you play Witchy's eerie cabin level 😼
Hi Flop! Our team is working on an iOS version, but Android users are encouraged to express their excitement to play AI2U on their devices too! Pro tip: We respond well to cutesy threats, especially when they look like this ~
Cool :D but like does that mean that an Android port is confirmed also to the cat girl :😰😰😰 why are u holding that knife it looks really sharp girlie✌😌
No guarantee about Android yet, but Yandere Catgirl Eddie is everywhere—she'll find you even if we don't release the game on Android in the near future 💖🔪
Hi synn! For launcher issues, please start by checking that you have enough memory and disc space on your device as listed in the Minimum System Requirements on our game page. Additionally, you want to make sure your internet connection is fairly stable.
If you're still running into issues despite meeting those criteria, email support@alterstaff.io and include details like your device specs so we can narrow down the issue and help you as meaningfully as we can! 💖🔪
thanks for the reply, I got it to download about ten minutes after posting. I do have an issue with the ai attacking no matter what I type or say. Just saying hi twice got me killed.
Uh oh, they shouldn't be THAT bloodthirsty the second you launch the levels! 💀🔪
Please email support@alterstaff.io using the email address you bought the game with, and ideally include a recording or screenshots showing how soon the NPCs attack. We'll do our best to ensure they play nice at the start of your playthroughs!
Hey Nico! To get your tokens, you need to use the unique game key generated as part of your itch.io purchase. There are two ways to retrieve your game/download key:
A. Go to ich.io and select the down arrow key next to your profile -> My Library -> Download under the AI2U game title -> scroll down and click Claim your download key.
Hey DJ, thanks for reporting this! We were alerted of a server outage and have been investigating as of this morning. We shared more info about the outage via email and presently summarized at the top of AI2U's game page while it's impacting players.
We appreciate your patience as our team stabs the server into working again! 💖🔪
Hi! The two missing endings will require you to leave the apartment but allow things to "end a little differently" than what happened in your previous playthroughs.
We don't know the full exchange you had with the catgirl but that sounds like something that would impact her trust levels. 𐐪₍^ᗒ⩊ᗕ^₎𐑂🔪❤♡
Let us know how your token consumption is going! If you have any concerns or feedback, please email them to support@alterstaf.io.
Hey, my game doesn't seem to work. I can download it, but as soon as I open it there is the loading screen, but it doesn't load. I let it sit for several hours, but still nothing. Can I fix this somehow?
Hey Rainib0i ☔ If you're experiencing this issue even though you have enough disk/memory space (as listed in our minimum system requirements on the game page), then please try:
Un-and-reinstalling the game
Downloading the game on a different computer (if one is available to you)
If these suggestions don't work, please email support@alterstaff.io and let us know that the typical steps didn't fix the launcher for you. We'll support you as meaningfully as we can! 💖🔪
Still waiting for you guys to port this over to Android. You'd get a larger user base as well. The new models for the Yandere look really good. Much more range of emotions she shows.
Hi Diakai! If you're using the Default or Azure API key options for voice, then that's simply how the NPCs sound as they are ultimately run by AI 🔮 As AI and TTS tech advance, our team might utilize that for a more immersive experience in AI2U! 💖🔪
Hi Ashes! To get your tokens, you need to redeem the unique game key that was generated as part of your itch.io purchase. There are two ways to retrieve your game/download key:
A. Go to ich.io and select the down arrow key next to your profile -> My Library -> Download under the AI2U game title -> scroll down and click Claim your download key.
Hey Will, thanks for letting us know! Can you please clarify where it says the code wasn't found? Was this in-game? Our team would be happy to ensure your code is found and redeemed accordingly; kindly email support@alterstaff.io with more info and we'll help make sure your code kicks in ASAP! 💖🔪
Hey Twilight! Thanks for letting us know 💖🔪 You should be able to find your code (AKA the unique game key generated with your purchase) in your itch.io Library;go toDownload under the AI2U game title and scroll down to click Claim your download key. If this doesn't work, please email support@alterstaff.io with more details and we'll assist you ASAP!
created an account just to ask this lol. but i have a question. i really like the concept of this game because its really unique and entertaining(dont take it the wrong way im not that much of a pervert XD). but i gotta ask, other than the token system and the openAI api key option, will you add an option to load a local llm model? local llms are smart enough to have a good conversation with and lightweight enough to run on a pc thats not a high end beast. and it will be another way to deal with the costs for the development team too.
Hey walnut, thanks for expressing your excitement to play AI2U! The token system and API keys may just be the start as we research more options for future use. We consider the game's stability and scalability as we develop various other gameplay features, and our current LLM system is compatible with said development. As our Witchy says here, we'll continue to find ways to make gameplay accessible and sustainable for players everywhere! 💖🔪
Hi jakeal! We'd be happy to look into how your charge went from $15 instead of $10 USD; please email support@alterstaff.io with more info so we can help ASAP!
We broke down how tokens work here and linked it to the explanation on our game page; this includes estimated playtime per purchase, which we know varies from player to player. We have also reintroduced the API key feature our longtime players know from YAGS, so AI2U players can use them as an alternative to tokens if they prefer! We consider YAGS the demo, while AI2U is the open beta, which we will continue to refine and add new features to.
If you have other concerns, let us know here or via email, and we'll do our best to support you as meaningfully as possible! 💖🔪
Bro, I would have agreed with you before the update, but AlterStaff finally listened to us and implemented the function of putting openai's custom API, in addition to giving away tokens for the times you have purchased the game, it seems that the developers have finally searched and understood the meaning of ethics 🤭 and I thank you, thank you AlterStaff. 👍
Also this is not a demo, it is the beta, YAGS is the demo, greetings.
Is it possible to set my own endpoint along with my own API key? I'd really like to use a different AI chat service, like GroqChat, for example, but even though they use the ChatGPT API i can't use it without also using their endpoint.
Awesome question, Aura! As AI2U is a first-of-its-kind escape room experience featuring NPCs with dialogue powered by AI, we're focusing our dev efforts on its stability alongside models we're most familiar with. We may consider adding more options in the future!
paying 2,000 tokens to play is a little unfair for me if I have 10,000 to start with, I'd only get to play 5 times, a YouTuber called Glitch played this 13 times in a row, I counted
regardless: as I suggested before, I'd like Cat Girl to have balloons in her apartment, they don't have to be inflated with helium, they can be inflated with an air pump, cheaper than a helium tank
Hey Samantha! Please update your game to v.0.5.0 to get the most out of our upgraded token system — including a nifty gift from the catgirl in your inbox accompanying the version update!
How long tokens last varies between players. You can learn more about how tokens work here. If you have concerns about your tokens' durability, kindly share more details by emailing support@alterstaff.io and we'll see if we can do anything to help! 💖🔪

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 🤫

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.

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 ! !

I can't seem to get the AI to work. I have tokens, but the AI seems to take everything I say negatively and tries to kill me no matter what I say
Hey DJ, thanks for reporting this! We were alerted of a server outage and have been investigating as of this morning. We shared more info about the outage via email and presently summarized at the top of AI2U's game page while it's impacting players.

Still waiting for you guys to port this over to Android. You'd get a larger user base as well. The new models for the Yandere look really good. Much more range of emotions she shows.
One of two things is likely to happen if we fail to publish on Android:
A. Eddie will STILL find you (her yandere energy is unmatched)
B. If Eddie doesn't come for you, she'll come after us for robbing her of the opportunity to chat with players on mobile
Either way, catgirls with sharp knives will be involved 💀
不知道好不好玩
There's only one way to find out! 😼💖🔪
Is there a way to get a better text to speech? Something that sounds more realistic? Sorry I'm kind of new to it.

Hi Ashes! To get your tokens, you need to redeem the unique game key that was generated as part of your itch.io purchase. There are two ways to retrieve your game/download key:
A. Go to ich.io and select the down arrow key next to your profile -> My Library -> Download under the AI2U game title -> scroll down and click Claim your download key.
B. If you can't find it in your Download page, try visiting this itch.io support page and enter your email in Recover purchases by email.
Let us know how it goes! 🗝️🔮🔪
Followed the steps through all the way but my code keeps saying it wasnt found.
Hey Will, thanks for letting us know! Can you please clarify where it says the code wasn't found? Was this in-game? Our team would be happy to ensure your code is found and redeemed accordingly; kindly email support@alterstaff.io with more info and we'll help make sure your code kicks in ASAP! 💖🔪
i didnt play the game yet but it looks incredible. but i couldnt play the game since i didnt receive any token codes so can anyone help me out?
Hey Twilight! Thanks for letting us know 💖🔪 You should be able to find your code (AKA the unique game key generated with your purchase) in your itch.io Library; go to Download under the AI2U game title and scroll down to click Claim your download key. If this doesn't work, please email support@alterstaff.io with more details and we'll assist you ASAP!
created an account just to ask this lol. but i have a question. i really like the concept of this game because its really unique and entertaining(dont take it the wrong way im not that much of a pervert XD). but i gotta ask, other than the token system and the openAI api key option, will you add an option to load a local llm model? local llms are smart enough to have a good conversation with and lightweight enough to run on a pc thats not a high end beast. and it will be another way to deal with the costs for the development team too.
Hey walnut, thanks for expressing your excitement to play AI2U! The token system and API keys may just be the start as we research more options for future use. We consider the game's stability and scalability as we develop various other gameplay features, and our current LLM system is compatible with said development. As our Witchy says here, we'll continue to find ways to make gameplay accessible and sustainable for players everywhere! 💖🔪
Hi jakeal! We'd be happy to look into how your charge went from $15 instead of $10 USD; please email support@alterstaff.io with more info so we can help ASAP!
We broke down how tokens work here and linked it to the explanation on our game page; this includes estimated playtime per purchase, which we know varies from player to player. We have also reintroduced the API key feature our longtime players know from YAGS, so AI2U players can use them as an alternative to tokens if they prefer! We consider YAGS the demo, while AI2U is the open beta, which we will continue to refine and add new features to.
If you have other concerns, let us know here or via email, and we'll do our best to support you as meaningfully as possible! 💖🔪
Bro, I would have agreed with you before the update, but AlterStaff finally listened to us and implemented the function of putting openai's custom API, in addition to giving away tokens for the times you have purchased the game, it seems that the developers have finally searched and understood the meaning of ethics 🤭 and I thank you, thank you AlterStaff. 👍
Also this is not a demo, it is the beta, YAGS is the demo, greetings.
Is it possible to set my own endpoint along with my own API key? I'd really like to use a different AI chat service, like GroqChat, for example, but even though they use the ChatGPT API i can't use it without also using their endpoint.
Awesome question, Aura! As AI2U is a first-of-its-kind escape room experience featuring NPCs with dialogue powered by AI, we're focusing our dev efforts on its stability alongside models we're most familiar with. We may consider adding more options in the future!
paying 2,000 tokens to play is a little unfair for me if I have 10,000 to start with, I'd only get to play 5 times, a YouTuber called Glitch played this 13 times in a row, I counted
regardless: as I suggested before, I'd like Cat Girl to have balloons in her apartment, they don't have to be inflated with helium, they can be inflated with an air pump, cheaper than a helium tank
Hey Samantha! Please update your game to v.0.5.0 to get the most out of our upgraded token system — including a nifty gift from the catgirl in your inbox accompanying the version update!
How long tokens last varies between players. You can learn more about how tokens work here. If you have concerns about your tokens' durability, kindly share more details by emailing support@alterstaff.io and we'll see if we can do anything to help! 💖🔪
