After Midnight

Five years of wanting her. Six weeks of having her. Then a link lands in your phone at 1:48 in the morning.

You play as Kai by reading his phone: his texts, his missed calls, his notes, his search history. Rina finally said yes, and now he's the one pulling away. He can't explain why, and the choices you make decide where it goes.

Chapter 2 · Patreon members

One reply decides the story

When Rina finally asks Kai to say something, you pick which way it goes. Every chat after that changes to match.

💔 NTR route

Let it happen

Kai doesn't get angry. He wants to know everything, and Rina doesn't know what to make of that.

“I saw it. I'm not angry. Tell me everything.”
🔥 Cheating route

Two can play

Rina storms off for the night. Mika comes over to talk about it. Neither of them is sorry the next morning.

“I saw it. Two can play that game.”

How it plays

Everything is on his phone

Messages tell the story. The rest of the phone fills in what nobody says out loud.

Social

Rina's posts appear the moment she makes them in the story.

Phone

Missed calls and a voicemail she left at midnight.

Notes

Kai's private notes, where he tries to make sense of what he wants.

Browser

His search history at 3am says more than his texts.

Choices

Pick Kai's replies. Some change what Rina feels about him, one changes everything.
