About the Game

Your kamioshi's stream abruptly ends one day & his silence creates rampant rumors. Avoiding the online toxicity, you join a degenerate group chat where VTuber fans chat about their oshis freely. But you start noticing strange coincidences - is your kamioshi in this chat?
In this dating chatsim, who's real & who's pretending in chat?
lovebyte.exe : inspired by Mystic Messenger, VTubers, and internet spam

Official update history
【New】
Added a new Wiki feature in the “Web” app, with a glossary of general internet terms and also a separate glossary for Aquasphere-related terms (e.g., gens, VTubers, corpo events) - we hope you enjoy some of the lore drop in the Aquasphere Wiki!
Added a to-do list “completed” animation
【Fixes】
Some other minor fixes
In the meantime, we’d like to re-share from our original EA update calendar the features we've got planned for the "big update":
【New Features for Sept 25th EA Update】
Adding Zeta and Calais shimejis
Adding VTuber Card Collectibles minigame - one pack will be available on Sept 25th, other packs to come in future updates
Adding the next Route DM content for each of the LI routes: this includes progression up to the next DM from the LI (includes group chats with new stream clips -- please note that biscord voice calls vary as it depends on the DM narrative)

We released hotfix v0.8.17 about 6 hours ago with the following:
【Fixes】
- Fixed one of the “Betas for Zeta” group chats where the chat stopped at one of the answer choices
- Fixed photos, clips, and calls not opening in the Library screen (FYI: For the new call replay feature to work, unfortunately, you do have to replay the game to trigger the system to see that you’ve “unlocked” the call. From then on, you’ll be able to replay the calls)
In the meantime, we’d like to share that we plan for another update to go out next week with the following new features:
【New Features for Next Week】
- Adding a new Wiki feature in the “Web” app, with a glossary of general internet terms and also a separate glossary for Aquasphere-related terms (e.g., gens, VTubers, corpo events)
- Adding a to-do list “completed” animation
Many thanks to our players who have made all of the helpful reports in the lovebyte discord server!

【New】
Added 9 more save file slots
Added a new feature where you can now replay biscord voice calls in the "Photos" app - the app will be renamed to "Library" in the next update
Added a "choose me!" group distraction pop-up
【Fixes】
Fixed group chat loading issue - now "unread" group chats will correctly load in new replays to better "pull" new group chats before cycling back to read group chats. (Note: loading up a save file with an existing to-do list does not pull a new group chat as it will load up the prior saved group chat. To receive a new group chat, it requires having fully read the prior group chat and saving over it before starting a true replay - aka another game run and loading into that particular in-game day with a new to-do list - to be served a new group chat) ***Reference: at the launch of Early Access on Aug 24th, 49 group chats were available in game but not all of them were accessible, this fix addresses that
Fixed the selected vs unselected inbox UI visuals in biscord
... and some other minor fixes

【Content Update】
8 new achievements added
【Fixes】
Fixed missing voice line in a Solo Lightracer voice call
Fixed YewTube access after watching a stream
Fixed stream clips showing up as unlocked in YewTube at first visit

【Fixes】
Fixed achievements issue where they were not being correctly unlocked after condition had been met. FYI: unfortunately, this does require another playthrough to unlock the achievements
Fixed a loading issue with devices running on Turkish
Since we had to build a hotfix on the achievements, we'd like to share that the below has also made it into the build since lovebyte.exe launched yesterday:
【Content Update】
Various stream chat clips have been updated with more chat comments across the board
Pochima voice call added in later content post voice-reveal
