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! 💖🔪
Please reach out to support@alterstaff.io using the same email address connected to your purchase! We'll be able to verify your redeem code and help make sure it works ~ 💖🔪
Please send us another email letting us know it's your second attempt to contact us about your redeem code. We'll make sure to make it up to you 😼🔪 For extra measure, kindly watch your spam folder in case our reply ends up there somehow!
i am noticing a "chat only" mode where i assume you cant die, nor escape, and im either too bad to unlock it, dont know how to unlock it, or am trying to unlock a unreleased thing.
"Chat only" is in the works! Once it's live, we hope you'll share your feedback on how it compares to the yandere energy you're familiar with from the escape rooms 🏃🔪😻
ya, having to pay to play each session on top of redeem codes not even working half the time is gona kill this game real quick. This is "aaa" levels of development right here. ~_~
Hey Armada! We designed tokens to last several hours, translating to multiple playthroughs. Please email support@alterstaff.io with more details if you're experiencing issues with less-playtime-than-promised or getting your redeem keys to work. We'll make sure to make it up to you. 💖🔪
Hey close2! Are you referring to the game key? It's the unique code 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 Samantha! Thanks for the balloons selection 🐱🎈 We'll see if if we can integrate any into future escape room puzzles!
Regarding tokens, you can repurchase them any time by buying the game again. You'll get the same amount you started out with, which typically support several hours of gameplay/chat with the AI.
Oh!! Her apartment is spacious, but helium balloons might be out of the budget, given her recent pre-apocalyptic purchases! 🙀💸 We encourage you instead to convince her to visit your favorite balloon/crafts store so you can get the best ending in the game! 💖🔪
When the user is out of tokens it would be much better instead of re-purchasing again you pay half the price for more tokens if you already own the game.
Hey Frite, thanks for playing! Fellow French players have brought this to our attention too; it's on our radar and we'll see what we can do to improve it in future updates. 💖
Hey Thank you very much for your answer ! It's great if it's in your future plans to add French, it would allow the French community to fully benefit from your game which is really great 😊
We appreciate your excitement to play with the catgirl, even while interactions aren't optimized in all languages yet! We appreciate your community's excitement to watch and play these adventures 💖🔪 We'll keep everyone posted about localization and other updates through our devlogs, email, social media, and Discord.
Hey Torch 🔥 You should be able to use the icon at the top right corner in the title screen to adjust your screen—for reference, please check the corner marked with a blue square in the screenshot below. Depending on your OS, some hotkey options should also be available. If you're still having issues adjusting your screen/window size, kindly email support@alterstaff.io and include your monitor specs and a screenshot of the game running on your desktop so we know which controls are out of reach. We'll do our best to help from there 😸🔪
Hi Chijoha, you can also use PayPal to buy the game on itch.io! If PayPal isn't available to you, let us know what alternatives work best 💖🔪 We'll see what we can do as we consider more options in the future!
I think re-downloading for tokens. seems insufficent and tiresome. i suggest adding a regen count too make it easier and too take breaks. i hope that is added in the final games release.
Hey Prince Sheryar, thanks for your input on the current token replenishment journey! We're noting down your suggestion for our tokens/chat improvement efforts. We'd love for your adventures with the catgirl to run as seamlessly as possible 💖🔪

I would prefer a PC VR version over the iOS version and the possible Android version. :)
I just bought the game and the launcher seems tp not get past 70%.

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.

Hey Armada! We designed tokens to last several hours, translating to multiple playthroughs. Please email support@alterstaff.io with more details if you're experiencing issues with less-playtime-than-promised or getting your redeem keys to work. We'll make sure to make it up to you. 💖🔪
how do i find the code?
Hey close2! Are you referring to the game key? It's the unique code 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! 🗝️🐱🔪
what can I do if my tokens run out?
also Cat Girl doesn't have any balloons in her apartment, can you add some as an update please?
here are some balloon shapes to work with, use any colors you like
Hey Samantha! Thanks for the balloons selection 🐱🎈 We'll see if if we can integrate any into future escape room puzzles!
Regarding tokens, you can repurchase them any time by buying the game again. You'll get the same amount you started out with, which typically support several hours of gameplay/chat with the AI.
I was thinking about the balloons for Cat Girl's apartment, not the future escape rooms
Oh!! Her apartment is spacious, but helium balloons might be out of the budget, given her recent pre-apocalyptic purchases! 🙀💸 We encourage you instead to convince her to visit your favorite balloon/crafts store so you can get the best ending in the game! 💖🔪
I'm asking for air filled balloons, not helium, a box of deflated balloons, and an air pump is what I'm suggesting in the first place
the helium tank can wait, in the meantime, how about an air pump to inflate the balloons?
When the user is out of tokens it would be much better instead of re-purchasing again you pay half the price for more tokens if you already own the game.
will we one day be able to use the microphone in French like in the demo? I find it a shame that we no longer have this option
Hey Frite, thanks for playing! Fellow French players have brought this to our attention too; it's on our radar and we'll see what we can do to improve it in future updates. 💖
We appreciate your excitement to play with the catgirl, even while interactions aren't optimized in all languages yet! We appreciate your community's excitement to watch and play these adventures 💖🔪 We'll keep everyone posted about localization and other updates through our devlogs, email, social media, and Discord.
How the hell do I put this game in fullscreen?! I can't access half of the controls because it's in windowed mode!
Hey Torch 🔥 You should be able to use the icon at the top right corner in the title screen to adjust your screen—for reference, please check the corner marked with a blue square in the screenshot below. Depending on your OS, some hotkey options should also be available. If you're still having issues adjusting your screen/window size, kindly email support@alterstaff.io and include your monitor specs and a screenshot of the game running on your desktop so we know which controls are out of reach. We'll do our best to help from there 😸🔪
Alt and Enter key at the same time. That tip works with all PC games stuck in window screen mode. 👍🏻
how i wish websites like this added alternative payment methods that didn't require a credit card
Hi Chijoha, you can also use PayPal to buy the game on itch.io! If PayPal isn't available to you, let us know what alternatives work best 💖🔪 We'll see what we can do as we consider more options in the future!
I'm afraid the services i tend to use for payment may be for just bigger companies, like Klarna, or just with bankcontact.
While i wish i could purchase it right away, my best bet would most likely to wait for the steam release which i'll gladly look forward to.
Thanks for sharing! We look forward to having you onboard when we release the AI escape room experience on Steam! 🚂🔮😻
Me again. Turns out i wasn't able to wait longer than 2 months and bought it anyways. :p
Those yandere eyes are too captivating to ignore ~ Enjoy gazing into them as she does the thing! 💖🔪
I think re-downloading for tokens. seems insufficent and tiresome. i suggest adding a regen count too make it easier and too take breaks. i hope that is added in the final games release.
Hey Prince Sheryar, thanks for your input on the current token replenishment journey! We're noting down your suggestion for our tokens/chat improvement efforts. We'd love for your adventures with the catgirl to run as seamlessly as possible 💖🔪
