Might actually be one of my favorite games, honestly. And it's not even completed yet. The banter and the subtle tension is just written so well, the conversations feel natural, the character designs are interesting and I absolutely adore some of the choices given to us. I, most of the time find MCs unlikable/spiceless; but definitely not this time.
hiii :-) i'm currently working on a dlc for cryptid coffeehouse, but after i finish up with that, i'll be diving into kurou connect dev! i hope to finish the dlc during the first half of 2025, then i plan on creating a small patch for kurou connect that will mostly involve some art updates... that will be released most likely sometime in the late summer/early fall.
the full game is going to take quite a while since the script i've planned is relatively sprawling, but i plan on releasing builds of the game as i finish scenes & routes. i'll probably make some paid patreon tiers ($5-$15/mo i'm thinking) to upload those builds on as making this game will cost a lot of money ^^; but the demo will always be up for everyone to play!
if all goes well, i'm aiming for the full game to be released in summer of 2026. i work on these things by myself alongside my day jobs so we'll see if the timeline changes o_o but i appreciate your patience and support in the meantime!!! :D <3
question, i saw on pinterest text messages about how the storyline is going to go for Kurou connect, and was wondering if that'd be the canon ending/storyline? no spoilers obvi to anyone else reading this, but is that gonna be the story?
yes, but with a couple of edits!! the storyline depicted in those texts is story for the "true" route, but i've edited quite a bit of smaller details to make it more streamlined. there are going to be other routes aside from the true route and things will change as i write it naturally, but for now you can take those messages as a rough outline of what's going to happen :-) if you have any more questions about it, i'd be happy to answer them in a more longform way on my tumblr :D
this is a stunning brilliant question LOLLLL... well... i'm currently working on the final final final version of cryptid coffeehouse (version 3.1), and after that i have a silly dlc that i'm going to be writing for cryptid coffeehouse as well. once that's finished, i'll be locking in full time on kurou connect soo.... i hope to get started on that by mid-2025? cryptid coffeehouse has taken me about three years to make to completion, and i hope that kurou connect won't take that long lol sooooo....... hopefully full game will be out 2026? there will be ways to play in-progress demos though. i've got a lot brewing over here :-)
yippiieeeeee aahhhh and good luck too hehe ngl my best friend has a persona kinda alike kurou and it was that which got my attention and lmao even the character itself reminds me of my friend wich was hilarious cus personality is comp. different lol but yea good luck :>
I have an old ver. of Cryptid coffeehouse on a USB, that's the one I remember even through I been played the current one and for some reason I got surprised that Kurou has hair. I'm stupid.
This game is so so good! I love how we get an introduction to all of the characters before the story starts! I really enjoy the character designs and how significant they are. I wish we could've had more options to be nicer to Kurou but it's nothing bad! I overall really enjoyed this demo and wished it was longer. The art style is also just YAYAYAY. UGHHH ONE OF MY FAV GAMES ON ITCH.IO
I already played the entire game of Cryptid Coffeehouse and adored it! The nice, warm ambiance of getting to know the love interest personally and emotionally. I've always had an interest with the other characters and was really excited to play this demo. I've already completed it and fell in love with Kurou and I can't wait for more demo content!
i really wish i could play the main game :(( i don't think my chromebook can handle downloads... so this is all the lore i can get without reading an essay.. really fun and great game though!! i love all the characters so much

when will the full version be released?
Once the full game releases will it be playable for android users?
probably not— optimizing a game like this for a smaller screen is pretty difficult! if enough people want it though i'll see what i can do
ah, that's a shame, but hopefully people do, but I understand if it's to difficult!! I'm also wondering if it'll stay playable on browser?
no, it'll shift to pc + mac downloads :-) it'll be playable on browser up until the full game is done though
:c i really like this i hope the full game is available in browser
will it be playable for iOS users
any updates on when the full game coming out?
