I don't think I've actually played another visual novel that focuses on one route at a time instead of just cycling through the characters, so it'll be nice to just focus on Diego without having to re-remember every character's stories at once
Glad to hear it! We're committed to finishing Diegos route before we begin on another. Once Diego's is done, it's not yet clear how we'll proceed with subsequent routes but I expect that one route will always take priority even if we dabble in others.
Glad to know you're doing one route at a time. Helps us get more focused on each character's storyline instead of having to repeat a route's previous day in order to remember the story.
Anyway hehe, the story is getting more better and interesting as I continue diving into it. Ngl, Diego is my first choice not until Tai *heavy breathing* appeared ahahaha. So yeah, such a great VN and all, I love it~ uwu
Spencer is......SOOO cool ! Literally the BEST character. He's just absolutely gorgeous, it's a real shame he's not datable. But at least i can bathe in his glory in the few but luxurious scenes of which he is present...
I'm still really enjoying the novel, you and your team have clearly put a lot of work into this and it's really showing! I'm really looking forward to what else is in store!
On a kind of un-realated note, (even though I haven't played the Patreon release) you can't show me a pic of that polar bear and not expect me to want him as another dateable character once the other main routes are done.
Haha we know. Every character we release is met with the same comments. It's quite the conundrum! We do have plans on how to handle it, but it'll be later rather than sooner...
I really enjoyed this update! All the set up for the fighting tournament has me crazy invested! Not to mention finally making it official with Diego! That was DEFINITELY a very appreciated scene. The development we've been getting in regards to Diego's past with Kyrex and how he's dealing with it has all been great, too! Story wise, I have nothing to complain about; this is all going great, so far!
All that said, there is one thing that I noticed while playing this update... and I can't un-notice it now that I have... Any time a character sprite is wearing an unbuttoned button-up shirt, it's always a woman's button-up. That is, the buttons are always lined up on the left side of the shirt, but men's shirts always have buttons on the right. It's honestly a completely insignificant detail and doesn't effect anything, like, at all; I just felt like pointing it out.
ANYWAYS! Loving the direction Diego's route is heading; can't wait to see more! Keep up the good work!
That is... something I never knew! No doubt CurryCatz didn't know it either! We do flip the sprites from time to time which will of course dictate the direction the buttons appear, but looking through, you're right, they are on the left side! We'll be more careful in future!
That aside, I'm glad you're liking the story so far. We're drawing closer and closer to the finale of Diego's route, expected to release in December on Patreon at our current pace and January on Itch. Hopefully the ending lives up to everything we've done so far!
Honestly, I have no real idea how or why I know this about buttons and shirts and whatnot; it's just one of those weird bits of trivia that I heard or read somewhere and never really forgot! ^^'
This is such a common yet entirely insignificant detail that a lot of people probably see on a daily basis, yet it never really registers as something worth knowing. I've seen this come up in a few different games, but no one else ever brings it up and I know that I'm just being OCD about it, so I don't usually bring it up either. I figured I'd just throw it out there this time, if for no other reason than to get it out of my head and stop bugging over it.
Anyways, here's hoping Diego gets the Hallmark movie, rom-com, happily-ever-after he deserves! I'm also hoping we get to see a CG of Diego just decking that smug grin off of Kyrex's face; that would be incredibly satisfying after all the build up!
Yeees! Diego's sex scene was sooo goood! We need more of that act. I honestly don't understand why it's always the A and O, but little of this. Though it wasn't exactly to my liking; I'm rather a fan of making fire by rubbing 'em together rather than jerking them together. But beggars can't be choosers, amirite?!
And the kiss scene!! AAAH! I'm gushing!
Also, I tried to make this as least spoil-ery as possible while conveying what I wanted to convey with the least amount of ambiguity. (I've been trying here to come up with a word similar to enough, where enough is satisfactorily high, but I meant something like satisfactorily low, if such a word doesn't exist, it should IMO)
The challenging thing is we receive similar sentiments for almost every character we include! Our plans are more or less set in stone for the 1.0 version, but beyond that, the sky is the limit. Perhaps one day Russell might get time in the spotlight too?
That new saucy scene...certainly worth the wait, Diego's more of a freak than I thought. Excellent work as per usual! I keep coming back for more and never disappointed!
Glad you're liking it! We've got lots of ideas for Lukas' route. Tais route is most likely going to be our focus once Diegos is done, but we also plan on giving Lukas some attention all the while.
ok so Axel is sooooooooooooooooooooo super adorable, but I have questions that I don't wanna post on here because of spoilers. Do you use Discord at all?
any chance the lizard guy from the screen shots has a route. if not thats ok there seems to be at less 2 maybe 3 guys I like in thumbnail so I'll still give it a shot.
That would be Kyrex. As of right now, he's not dateable per se, but he DOES have a significant role in Diego's plot particularly towards the end and he does have an optional sex scene which is available in the current public release.
I see it being possible. Perhaps MC could make him a better man, even if it won't be that simple. Kyrex says he can't be in a mongamie relationship, but I'm sure he's wrong. He just has't found the right guy.
Downloaded the game last night. Played it for hours, went along with Diego route and visited the gym a few times. And I was profoundly shaken how well it resonated. I recognised where the story was going and made the right call (unlike I did a few times irl) and last night I had a long serious tought about my life. Almost made me want to sell everything and move out to a peaceful smaller place (albeit without a hunky friend) and start anew. Seriously, you guys did great work. I can't even complain about the music, something I am nitpicky about (and willing to help with if needed). All in all, thank you for sharing such a nice story with us.
In the immediate future, Kyrex will play a significant role in the second half of Diegos story. As of right now, he's not one of the four planned routes, but he will most likely have some form of playable route of his own introduced after version 1.0 has been released.
Congrats on your 3 months progress in Sileo! The story is really good and relatable for me and I hope for your continuous progress in this game. Thanks for your effort in making this!
I've been waiting for this update, it was really worth the wait. Diego is a sweetheart, somehow I identify with him and I like the way Kyrex looks, what a pity that he behaved very badly with poor Diego. I look forward to the next update. Excellent work.
keep up the good job Xevvy and the rest of the team, I was really surprise with Diego's route, which ended up being able to relate to Diego a lot to it apart from a few things. I look forward to seeing more of this, Good job again and be safe!
Hey can you add the version on the file name for the next updates pls because I always get problems like opening the wrong build and when you want to extract I always have to change the previous file name or put it somewhere else.
Called it! I knew Kyrex was the piece of sh*t that did that to Diego. It's a real shame that someone so attractive to have such a sh*t personality. At least now I have it in print, so my distaste is justified.
Aside from that, this update was kinda freaky, what with that whole nightmare sequence. It took me a bit to realize it was a dream, and in the meantime, I was wondering why everyone was so nonchalant about everything. Very well done, in my opinion.
The only other thing I have to talk about is less about the new build and more about how the game and it's writing as a whole. I'm wondering when the other routes might start being written in? Namely, whether updates will start alternating between routes, or if one route is gonna get completed before moving on to the next, or something more in between?
It's not that I don't like Diego's route so far - I really think the focus on abusive relationships and how they can effect someone is a really good angle to explore the story from - I'm just eager to start getting to know the other love interests and to see how their routes play out and differ from what we've already gotten. This is especially true when it comes to the Axel/Dom route; I'm really interested in how that particular love triangle is gonna pan out.
We've committed to seeing Diegos route though first. At our current rate, we're expecting his route to be concluded in December's Patreon release, arriving on Itch in January. Once that's done, we're probably going to write for several routes at once, although it's highly likely they will progress at different paces. I expect Tais route will progress the quickest of the 3 remaining routes as its the most fleshed out and has some very interesting elements to it which we are all very excited to explore. Time will tell!
OMG. Poor Diego. I don't regret making his route my main route.
The bad ending absolutely made my blood boil. Not to mention that to some people - as I've read in the comments below - it was obvious that Kyrex was Diego's ex, but it wasn't obvious to me. But I suspected it as soon as he showed up. Though that still is a blow to my self esteem and my self worth, even though I didn't get the bad ending the first time around, because I didn't like Kyrex in the first place and I had a hunch that it would be a bad decision to have sex with Kyrex, but with hindsight I can see how one could deduce that Kyrex is Diego's ex (namely that Diego isn't going to the gym anymore and how Kyrex threw Diego away).
Anyway, I now have a big reason to hate Kyrex' guts. And to mention that someone below would date him over Diego. Like, Kyrex literally emotionally ensnared Diego, had his fun with him and then threw him away like trash. Who would want to be with someone like that?! Perhaps if you're in it only for the fun, than say so beforehand. And if I was in a situation where a person, with whom I'd only have casual sex, would fall in love with me I'd not throw that person away, but instead I'd be concerned about them and either properly break up with them or give them a chance.
BTW. I don't see myself as someone who would be having casual no strings attached sex, I want, no I need, some sort of connection with that person and like that person's personality (i.e. I could see myself having sex with a friend). Also I wasn't aroused at all during Kyrex' sex scene because of that and because I already knew who he was. (I still think that my sexuality is too complex for a label, but if I had to be labeled then male preferring demisexual would fit well and it's a label I'm more and more comfortable as time passes.)
P.S. I can't wait for Lukas' route. His smile is just...
Thanks for the feedback! How we've handled Kyrex has certainly provoked some strong opinions on both sides, so it's nice to hear some positive feedback about it. Opening with our heaviest route was probably a risky move. Thankfully most of the routes are fairly well planned out at this stage and none of them are quite like Diegos, so there should be something for everybody to enjoy hopefully!
Sorry, but I can't see how someone could be with Kyrex, especially because how he acts towards Diego at the festival during the bad ending, it's just straight up malice. (This came to my mind when I was about to sleep, hence I'm giving this reason to not like Kyrex now.)
Also, I played The Village That Never Sleeps right before its last update and I'm glad that you're back. And I certainly won't mind if we could whip Diego up into shape (like he was there).
Also, I can relate to Lukas' struggles with the printer, except I'm less of a straight up destroy it and buy a new one type of guy and (sometimes, not always) more of a slam my fist on the table, yelling, mouth turning into a machine gun of cuss words and insults at the engineers, programmers or the thing itself while trying to fix it kinda guy.
And also during the Spencer nightmare scene I though that Axel was pulling a prank or something.
Glad you enjoyed it! Kyrex is egotistical, self centred and narcissistic. It was my first time writing a character like that, so I'm glad it came across right! There's more to Kyrex than just being a bad egg however. His backstory will be explored in more detail as Diegos route progresses.
Nice, he definitely walked that line of being suave and somewhat self absorbed, I'm glad I managed to pick up on that to avoid hurting Diego
You're right though, it's always a cycle of abuse so someone made Kyrex this way, still wanna punch him in the throat though for hurting Diego though and being so nonchalant about it
There will be an Android specific user interface developed at a later date - at this stage, the Android build is a carbon copy of the Windows version. Stay tuned for updates on this!
Does anyone know how to get the new special scenes from the newest public build? I played through Diego's route but only unlocked the one where you walki-in on him naked in the bathroom. Can anyone help?
you have to visit kyrex at the gym before going back home to Diego and then when the main character asks if he should go through with it say yes and you will have the special scene with kyrex which is optional that is the special scenes that you missing the one with kyrex were you have sex with him hope this helps you!
This is correct. Put simply, do all 3 of Kyrex's side plots. These are only available for a couple of days, so if you do them as soon as they pop up, you'll be fine. You'll be given at least one opportunity to back out, make sure you don't. Doing this will result in a bad ending on Day 7, but you can restart the day from the bad ending screen which will reset your progress on the third side plot - just don't do it or back out of it to avoid the bad ending :)
So... I've only done one playthrough so far, but I noticed a few odd things. First of all... it's clearly intended to be player-choice based, but enough of the story is linear that you kind of have to... figure out parts of the MC's personality in order for your choices to make any sort of logical sense. It's more like the player is trying to get the correct answer than trying to roleplay a character they've created, which is further emphasized by the fact that there are apparently bad endings.
Which brings me to the next thing -- that's... not a bad ending. It may just be because of what I said above, that the MC definitely does have a personality and not just what the player creates for him and they may not mesh very well, but I really feel like a relationship between the MC and Diego is a pretty toxic relationship, so them "breaking up" (not that they ever even started dating) is probably good. I get that Kyrex isn't actually a datable character, but honestly? Myself, I'd just start dating Kyrex in that situation. It's also pretty weird that the MC doesn't realize he's Diego's ex, because that was really obvious to me. No reason to give up and take the bus home just because your best friend has relationship issues that you don't understand how to fix and end up making worse.
It's also evident now after getting to the end that the side-stories really are *not* side-stories that are only there for full completion, but actually have a huge impact on the storyline and it's very relevant that they must occur before the main storyline if at all. This wasn't clear to me initially. I guess they're only considered side-stories because you still do have to do the main storyline, regardless of whether you do the side-stories or not?
May I ask how routes are going to be realeased? Like, are you only going to release Lukas' route after Diego's is finished, for exanple? Love this visual novel by the way!
We're still in discussions about this at the moment. Diego's route will be finished first, once that is done, we might start working on the routes in tandem. Not 100% sure yet.
Ooh, Ooh. Somebody please tell me that Spencer will be a datable character, he's gorgeous and it'd be a dream come true if i could date him :3, P.S. i adore birds, especially crow's/raven's.
He's not going to be one of the four primary routes, but we do have plans to cater to side characters once the primary routes are complete assuming Sileo continues to be popular. All in due time!
Really enjoyed the newest update! I did not expect "that" ending on Day 7 but it was interesting, and making me curious if there's gonna be more like that later. We've only gotten a smidge of Spencer but he's already piqued my interest, I have a feeling he's that business partner Tai mentioned. All in all really solid, keep up the good work!
Glad you enjoyed it! Can't say much about Spencer without it being spoilers, but he will play a large role in one of the other characters routes. Keep an eye out!

Can't wait to start Lukas's route. (really good novel so far.)
Glad you're enjoying it! We've got some great ideas for Lukas' route, can't wait to show them off!
i cannot wait for Axel and Doms route.
That's gonna be a fun one to write! Can't wait!
I don't think I've actually played another visual novel that focuses on one route at a time instead of just cycling through the characters, so it'll be nice to just focus on Diego without having to re-remember every character's stories at once
Glad to hear it! We're committed to finishing Diegos route before we begin on another. Once Diego's is done, it's not yet clear how we'll proceed with subsequent routes but I expect that one route will always take priority even if we dabble in others.
Glad to hear your doing 1 route at a time
Glad to know you're doing one route at a time. Helps us get more focused on each character's storyline instead of having to repeat a route's previous day in order to remember the story.
*patiently waits for Tai's route* 🥺
Anyway hehe, the story is getting more better and interesting as I continue diving into it. Ngl, Diego is my first choice not until Tai *heavy breathing* appeared ahahaha. So yeah, such a great VN and all, I love it~ uwu
Thanks! Glad you're liking it so far.
Is diego the only available root right now?
Correct. We will begin work on the next when his route is finished.
Ok cool I can't wait
Spencer is......SOOO cool ! Literally the BEST character. He's just absolutely gorgeous, it's a real shame he's not datable. But at least i can bathe in his glory in the few but luxurious scenes of which he is present...
Spencer plays a major role in one of the future routes! There'll be plenty more appearances of our mysterious avian friend soon enough!
gooooooood........goooooood........GOOOOOOOOOD ! ! !
I'm still really enjoying the novel, you and your team have clearly put a lot of work into this and it's really showing! I'm really looking forward to what else is in store!
On a kind of un-realated note, (even though I haven't played the Patreon release) you can't show me a pic of that polar bear and not expect me to want him as another dateable character once the other main routes are done.
Haha we know. Every character we release is met with the same comments. It's quite the conundrum! We do have plans on how to handle it, but it'll be later rather than sooner...

!!SPOILER!!
Yeees! Diego's sex scene was sooo goood! We need more of that act. I honestly don't understand why it's always the A and O, but little of this. Though it wasn't exactly to my liking; I'm rather a fan of making fire by rubbing 'em together rather than jerking them together. But beggars can't be choosers, amirite?!
And the kiss scene!! AAAH! I'm gushing!

Damn wish the shark was dateable no vn has a dateable beefy shark
He's such a chill dude, really love the character
The challenging thing is we receive similar sentiments for almost every character we include! Our plans are more or less set in stone for the 1.0 version, but beyond that, the sky is the limit. Perhaps one day Russell might get time in the spotlight too?
Everyone literaly wants every characters to be dateable lmao
That new saucy scene...certainly worth the wait, Diego's more of a freak than I thought. Excellent work as per usual! I keep coming back for more and never disappointed!
Glad it was worth the wait! There'll be more where that came from 😊
I'm so looking forward for the next update! I can't wait to see Diego again ^^
did this game just updated? I only see the FAQ only?
just updated images for the page it looks like
ah alright thanks
Not yet, we've just updated the page a bit. October builds coming in a few days!
looking forward to it! Keep up the good work.
Hey Xevvy I really love this game and how Diego's story unfolds in his route.
P.S. I'm reeeeaaally excited for the day when Lukas becomes available.
Glad you're liking it! We've got lots of ideas for Lukas' route. Tais route is most likely going to be our focus once Diegos is done, but we also plan on giving Lukas some attention all the while.
I reaaally love this amazing game
Glad you're liking it!
I want Tai's route :3
You won't have to wait long! We're planning to start on Tai's route next!
I'm looking forward to the next update~!:)
ok so Axel is sooooooooooooooooooooo super adorable, but I have questions that I don't wanna post on here because of spoilers. Do you use Discord at all?
Best way to get a hold of us directly would be via Twitter. A link to the Twitter is on the main page.
any chance the lizard guy from the screen shots has a route. if not thats ok there seems to be at less 2 maybe 3 guys I like in thumbnail so I'll still give it a shot.
That would be Kyrex. As of right now, he's not dateable per se, but he DOES have a significant role in Diego's plot particularly towards the end and he does have an optional sex scene which is available in the current public release.
...idk if he would be dateable at all, ever O_O Without giving spoilers I just don't see that as a possibility for him
I see it being possible. Perhaps MC could make him a better man, even if it won't be that simple. Kyrex says he can't be in a mongamie relationship, but I'm sure he's wrong. He just has't found the right guy.
Or... he could... be in a relationship that's not monogamous, like a normal person?
Diego is so special, I feel the need of taking care of him and doing my best to make him happy
I'm so in love with this visual novel
Really glad you're enjoying it!
Downloaded the game last night. Played it for hours, went along with Diego route and visited the gym a few times. And I was profoundly shaken how well it resonated.

Thank you! There's a lot more to come with Diego's route, hopefully it'll live up to those expectations!
it most likely will! Have faith in yall! hehehe
This is so good! I can't wait for the first actual nsfw scene with Diego. Really really good job xevvy!
Takes place on Day 11! It's currently available on Patreon, and will be released to Itch on the 1st of October!
Glad you liked it! If you got the dream sequence, you've gotten the good ending to day 7.
Me too
the first character I meet has the same name as me and I have no clue what to name myself now
Hey can you add the version on the file name for the next updates pls because I always get problems like opening the wrong build and when you want to extract I always have to change the previous file name or put it somewhere else.
Sry if I'm asking to much
Please tell me Axel and Dom didn't get Iron Maiden'd D:
Worry not! The waking version of the house in the woods is quite boring and contains no torture devices and scary silhouettes!
Called it! I knew Kyrex was the piece of sh*t that did that to Diego. It's a real shame that someone so attractive to have such a sh*t personality. At least now I have it in print, so my distaste is justified.

Thankfully most of the routes are fairly well planned out at this stage and none of them are quite like Diegos, so there should be something for everybody to enjoy hopefully!
Sorry, but I can't see how someone could be with Kyrex, especially because how he acts towards Diego at the festival during the bad ending, it's just straight up malice. (This came to my mind when I was about to sleep, hence I'm giving this reason to not like Kyrex now.)
Also, I played The Village That Never Sleeps right before its last update and I'm glad that you're back. And I certainly won't mind if we could whip Diego up into shape (like he was there).
Also, I can relate to Lukas' struggles with the printer, except I'm less of a straight up destroy it and buy a new one type of guy and (sometimes, not always) more of a slam my fist on the table, yelling, mouth turning into a machine gun of cuss words and insults at the engineers, programmers or the thing itself while trying to fix it kinda guy.
And also during the Spencer nightmare scene I though that Axel was pulling a prank or something.
OMG I DID THE DO AND IT JUST ENDED
Loved the update, really felt for Diego, poor guy
totally called it though, Kyrex came off as slimy and Diego was reluctant about Adrian frequenting that gym anyway
Glad you enjoyed it! Kyrex is egotistical, self centred and narcissistic. It was my first time writing a character like that, so I'm glad it came across right! There's more to Kyrex than just being a bad egg however. His backstory will be explored in more detail as Diegos route progresses.
Nice, he definitely walked that line of being suave and somewhat self absorbed, I'm glad I managed to pick up on that to avoid hurting Diego
You're right though, it's always a cycle of abuse so someone made Kyrex this way, still wanna punch him in the throat though for hurting Diego though and being so nonchalant about it
Um, the option buttons for android are way too close to each other. I kept picking the wrong option.
There will be an Android specific user interface developed at a later date - at this stage, the Android build is a carbon copy of the Windows version. Stay tuned for updates on this!
Does anyone know how to get the new special scenes from the newest public build? I played through Diego's route but only unlocked the one where you walki-in on him naked in the bathroom. Can anyone help?
you have to visit kyrex at the gym before going back home to Diego and then when the main character asks if he should go through with it say yes and you will have the special scene with kyrex which is optional that is the special scenes that you missing the one with kyrex were you have sex with him hope this helps you!
This is correct. Put simply, do all 3 of Kyrex's side plots. These are only available for a couple of days, so if you do them as soon as they pop up, you'll be fine. You'll be given at least one opportunity to back out, make sure you don't. Doing this will result in a bad ending on Day 7, but you can restart the day from the bad ending screen which will reset your progress on the third side plot - just don't do it or back out of it to avoid the bad ending :)
So... I've only done one playthrough so far, but I noticed a few odd things. First of all... it's clearly intended to be player-choice based, but enough of the story is linear that you kind of have to... figure out parts of the MC's personality in order for your choices to make any sort of logical sense. It's more like the player is trying to get the correct answer than trying to roleplay a character they've created, which is further emphasized by the fact that there are apparently bad endings.
Which brings me to the next thing -- that's... not a bad ending. It may just be because of what I said above, that the MC definitely does have a personality and not just what the player creates for him and they may not mesh very well, but I really feel like a relationship between the MC and Diego is a pretty toxic relationship, so them "breaking up" (not that they ever even started dating) is probably good. I get that Kyrex isn't actually a datable character, but honestly? Myself, I'd just start dating Kyrex in that situation. It's also pretty weird that the MC doesn't realize he's Diego's ex, because that was really obvious to me. No reason to give up and take the bus home just because your best friend has relationship issues that you don't understand how to fix and end up making worse.
It's also evident now after getting to the end that the side-stories really are *not* side-stories that are only there for full completion, but actually have a huge impact on the storyline and it's very relevant that they must occur before the main storyline if at all. This wasn't clear to me initially. I guess they're only considered side-stories because you still do have to do the main storyline, regardless of whether you do the side-stories or not?
May I ask how routes are going to be realeased? Like, are you only going to release Lukas' route after Diego's is finished, for exanple? Love this visual novel by the way!
We're still in discussions about this at the moment. Diego's route will be finished first, once that is done, we might start working on the routes in tandem. Not 100% sure yet.
Ooh, Ooh. Somebody please tell me that Spencer will be a datable character, he's gorgeous and it'd be a dream come true if i could date him :3, P.S. i adore birds, especially crow's/raven's.
Spencer will play a big role in another of our characters routes. Beyond that, he will remain a mystery :)
Sooo.....is that a yes??, I sure hope so, he's looking real fine
He's not going to be one of the four primary routes, but we do have plans to cater to side characters once the primary routes are complete assuming Sileo continues to be popular. All in due time!
Hmm, i'm both glad and devastated to hear that. He's so precious.
Really enjoyed the newest update! I did not expect "that" ending on Day 7 but it was interesting, and making me curious if there's gonna be more like that later. We've only gotten a smidge of Spencer but he's already piqued my interest, I have a feeling he's that business partner Tai mentioned. All in all really solid, keep up the good work!
Glad you enjoyed it! Can't say much about Spencer without it being spoilers, but he will play a large role in one of the other characters routes. Keep an eye out!
Each route is expected to run for around 20 days, some might be slightly more, some slightly less.
