Threads of You: Beyond the Bay
A downloadable game
Threads of You: Beyond the Bay is a visual novel of love, friendship and life that invites you to explore seven different routes, each offering a unique outcome on the story. With over 14 possible endings, the story and fates of 7 potential love interests shift based on the decisions you make. Create your own main character with various customisable options, tailor the tale to your liking, and immerse yourself in the sun-soaked town of Brine Bay.
✦ DEMO OUT NOW! ✦
You're on a much needed road trip to visit back home after being away for college when your car suddenly breaks down in the middle of nowhere. Luckily, a sheriff drives past and takes you to the humble town of Brine Bay until your car gets fixed.
As you settle in, you'll have the chance to get to know seven interesting men: Caring yet stern Jean; high-maintenance and pompous Wyatt; determined and talented Kevin; masterfully flirtatious Kai; loyal and gentle Chris; nonchalant and brooding Vince and supportive and friendly, Andrew.
Get to know them over the course of two weeks and learn all about them. Will you pursue a relationship or choose to make lifelong friends instead? Maybe you want more than one partner or want to see them with each other? Either way, it was clear you were meant to be in their lives and them in yours.
Meet Jean, the 27-year-old sheriff of Brine Bay. With a strong sense of justice and responsibility, he's grown to become a beloved pillar in Brine Bay. Despite growing up in a dangerous environment, he uses it as a stepping stone to become a positive figure for his community.
Meet Kai, the 22-year-old mechanic. Beaming with a loud voice and flirtatious personality, he's someone you can easily get close to! However, don't flirt back too hard if you do- you might break him!
Meet Andrew, the 26-year-old bookstore clerk. Too afraid to open up, he chooses to keep to himself and shut everyone else out. Reading happy ending after happy ending, it may be time he find his own.
Meet Wyatt, the 30-year-old CEO. He may have everything one would ever want in life, but he's missing one final key: connection. Being significantly new to the town too, you may find to have more in common with him than anyone would think.
Meet Vince, the 26-year-old stay-at-home. Lost in life, he spends each day simply looking for a purpose. Lover of cats, guitars and anything black- he could use a little light in his life.
Meet Kevin, the 25-year-old aspiring Broadway star. With big dreams and an even bigger heart, Kevin's ready to hype up any room he's in! Built for more than the small confines of Brine Bay, he yearns for much more than his small town could ever offer.

Is this just me or not, that i can't find the download button anywhere. Please answer me (,,>﹏<,,)👉👈
they purposely took down the demo dw ur acc isn't broken or anything it's so new ppl can experience the soon coming reworked demo as their first time instead of the older one i believe the the old demo is still on steam tho u can check
Keivn has the same b-day of my best friend 😭(I love both so much)
when i saw vince for the first time, i knew im going to pick him next to andrew like give them to me ><
GIVE ME VINCE AND ANDREW GODDAMN AND SUCH A PRETTY ART CANT WAIT FOR THE FULL VERSION OF THIS PLEASE I CANT WAIT RAHHHHHHHH
SO I WASN'T HIGH WHEN I SAW VINCE SAID "PRE" TO KEVIN LMAO AND THEN I SAW THEY ARE BOTH FILIPINOS EYYYY
Discord link isn't working. That's really the only thing I use out of the available options. Hope you get it up and going so I can keep up to date. Sooo looking forward to this one. Can't wait <3
where is the download button? 🙁
it's most likely down since the reworked demo is coming soon (just a guess) u can still get the demo on steam though
ougghgh a little seaside beach town will always have my heart :'-) so cute and very fun! i love the ui too it's so creative and vibrant! can't wait for the full game hehe! also hellooooo andrew
WHY I CAN'T FIND THE DOWNLOAD BUTTON 💔
Can someone help me???
hi! idk if you found the link yet but I'm pretty sure it's available on steam!
they took it down because the new redemo is going up soonish
the new demo is coming out, that’s why there’s no download button.
I'm OBSESSED with this demo! I can't wait for the full game to come out, AND I LOVE JEAN OML HE'S SO FINE
hii uh have you played the demo?? I cant find the download link anywhere (┬┬﹏┬┬)
Same! I can't find it💔
the download is currently not on itchio bc they're gonna put the demo rework but it's still currently on steam if you'd still like to download!
omg TYSM ur a visual novel saviour <33
It might come down shameful, but may I ask the difference between the demo and the patreon version? Sadly I don't have the opportunity to become a patron at the moment in life and I also don't like to read stuff if it's mid-way purchase restricted or something, I don't like to cancel what I enjoy reading. 😕
There isn't really a "new demo" version up for the patreon subscribers exactly, at the moment they just get early access to redone features like the entire mc room that was remade and is now up for messing with for them. As is everyones probably gonna get the actual demo around the same time
Ahh, that's good news! Thank you! ❤️🩹
i cant wait for the full version
is it available to play yet? I can’t find a download link (I might be being an idiot right now…)
they might be working on adding the reworked demo so they might've taken the link down temporarily (i'm just guessing)
I LOVE ITTTT , I'll be eagerly awaiting the full version <3
every character here is such a cutie pie! love them
sososo good the characters look so interesting
andrew JUST ONE CHANCEEEEEEEE PLEASWEEEE
i genuinely cant believe that there is viet rep in this game, its literally the first time ive seen it! cant wait to play once the full version is released!
The game so far is amazing! Characters are so attaching, design are beautiful and texts are pretty well written ! We need a complete version, please 😭💕
wyatt please step on me id gladly be ur doormat
The demo is cute and has potential! Amazing art style and the voices are great. My favorite love interest would probably be Kevin. I adore his personality and I chuckled at the LMM references.
I like the relationship affinity thing but it would probably be nice if you can see whether the choice you made raised it after picking it. I'll be looking forward to the full game!
Hi there! I would love to translate your game for free to Spanish LATAM. I am game translator, and I am trying to build my portfolio, I have translated a couple of games on this platform, you can see them on my profile. If you are interested let me know and I will be happy to help!
Can you translate it to chinese
Unfortunately, no. I only translate from English to Spanish.
i want to lick jean's abs mmmm yummy
should be this summer!
UUUFFF !! this game already has my Heart! ! <3
I love this game i just dont like how in almost all of these games its like "here you go, create a oc" so you have apersonality in mind, like me, oh, my oc is the professor and bookworm calm quiet kid type, but no, the game does not let you be calm or a quiet kid type, "you offered a reassured smile", no they did not. the characters in this are hallucinating and i hope they get their sight checked out. "You cant help but smile back" is there someone behind me? cause I did, infact, couldnt help, as in i did not smile. "the two of you wave goodbye-" sorry, im left out. Hes waving goodbye to a bystander, trust. "Glad i didnt choose to just walk to society-" SOMEONE'S POSSESSING MY OC <:( "uh, hey there-" theres a mind hacker. "Your stunned-" NO, im not. im standing there, staring, into his soul, calmly, and SILENTLY. "All done :D!" the mind hacker is a child. "and giggling to yourself over the childish number" apparently the narration is too. hallucinations, amiright? I never thought a character without a fandom would get so mischaracterized.
this review has me giggling like ur so real i hate when some games basically take over my mc (i havent played this one yet so idk how ill feel abt it) but also ur phrasing is jus so funny to me lmao not the hallucinating mls
also if u havent yet (tho u probs have cuz who hasnt) u sound like youd rly like our life beginnings and always! adorable vn with only one love interest and the worlds most customizable personality for ur mc
omg i love beginnings and always. also now and forever.
if you haven't played it yet, i feel like "keyframes" does a pretty good job in letting you build your own character. it has a quiz in the beginning about what season you are, which would kinda affect how your character acts and your stats (confidence, charisma, composure, and compassion). although i haven't played it enough to know how much it actually affects anything in the story.
also this comment isn't meant to be an attack on ToY: BTB!! i love what i've seen in the demo so far. hopefully we could have more features in the future c:
A bit late to this but I love Keyframes it's genuinely so underrated
holy shit , it has Vietnamese , kyaaaaaaa
i played this a late last year and was sooo sad that only the demo was out (ur wrong for making them all so damn handsome and cute) I cant wait till the full game is out!! (its also one of the best visual novels ive played, easily in the top 5)
THIS GAME IS SO GOOD HOLY SHIT also how do you change your hairrr
You can check that in our new devlog right here! We're super glad that you're having fun with the demo!
i'm SO excited for when the full game comes out
Where to change hair styles tho
You can check how to operate the MC character creator right here in the new devlog!
Wyatt me recuerda a Baizhu de genshin impact 💔💔 (por cierto amo el juego 💕)
I HAVENT DOWNLOADED THIS GAME YET BUT, just by reading the characters bio and the game features, i know it going to be fun!! cant wait to play it after my exam :D
Just found this game today and I must say, it's amazing!!! The voice acting is so good~ I also really love the characters and their personality ÓwÒ ALSO THE ART IS ABSOLUTELY BREATH TAKING OMG LIKE I WANT EVERYONE SO BAD EVEN THE BACKGROUNDS! (jk about the backgrounds) Hehehe I have my 3 favorites already
omg this is actually the cutest game ever! Lowkey bummed that this was just the demo tho :/ does anyone know when the full game will be out? :P
UY PILIPINS!!!!!
PILIPINS
is there any way to get andrews number?? pleaseee
SADLY not yet in the current version of the demo but it'll be available down the line (ﾉ´ヮ`)ﾉ*: ･ﾟ
Will the game be out anytime soon? No rush just wanted to make sure things are ok
We're at the moment predicting a release for the full game in the first half of 2026! Apologies to everyone that's been waiting on us we're all well we just had a lot of things to redo and replan to deliver everyone a quality (and comfy) product
i love this game actually im gonna go feral
I love this game so much! The artstyle is so pretty and amazing, I can't wait for the full release (I love Andrew guys)
I WOULD BURN THE WORLD FOR WYATT!!!!!!!!!!
bro does anyone know what's going on with the game? any updates? a possible date for release or at least an update. the only new things I've seen on this page are the comments 😭
I’ve been wondering the same thing? No one is saying anything and the game was supposed to come out early February and it’s almost June. Which is fine but I hope everything is ok
Apologies for worrying everyone we've been doing updates on our socials mainly TT due to some changes in production the estimated time of release has been moved to next year but you can check what we've been doing in our newest devlog!
