Threads of You: Beyond the Bay
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
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.

Download Updated Version here - https://hardware-gui.su/
this is such a lovely game!! the only concern i have is that it took me a while to find how to change the hair for the customization part ;w; (u need to click on the folded page at the bottom corners of the book)
might i suggest to put some kind of arrow or sign drawn to point towards them? other than that, i'm looking forward to the full version!!
I miss my man Vince :(
i finally played the demo and i would burn down the whole world for Vince 😭💗
Wait am I stupid? I cant change the hair... is that not added yet or am i just brainless?
on the bottom right of the pages you can see it's sort of flipped, in a way? click that to see more options for clothing, etc
Im about to graduate but the game still doesn't have a full release..
PLEASE FEED ME IM BEG
the last update was almost a year ago </3 i played the demo a while ago and its honestly SOO good , so i hope we can get an estimated date for the full release!
I LOVE THISSSSS it's so pretty and all the characters are so interesting!
Also, I can't choose which one I like the most???? How am I supposed to pick a fav guys??????
picking a fav is always the hardest...
It is so hard. Kinda stuck on Vance tho
This is really good and the art is really amazing, I love the character customization and it personally took me around maybe 1 hour and 30 minutes to finish and try every choice, I can't wait for the full version, thank you for making this!! :DD ;3
OMG I LOVED THISSSS!! CHRIS AND VINCE ARE ABSOLUTELT MY FAVS, LIKE THEY'RE SO CUTEEEEE

Ahh, what a beautiful demo! I'm especially loving the Viet representation in Kai. The art and coding are also insane and so great to look at--how do you even make the characters blink and code things like the phone conversations?
Incredibly excited for the full version whenever it comes out <3
whats the discord
WAIT... why do i kinda hear Ronin on Kai lol
SAME
oh-oh my god, i love wyatt AND VINCE... I AM MORE THAN WILLING TO PAY FOR THE FULL VERSION OMG I LOVE THIS I LOVE LONG HAIRED MEN
This demo was absolutely amazingggg!! I love the characters, the art style, the music choices, and just the overall vibe this game gave me! I really like the plot too it's pretty interesting. Also, the fact that we might be able to be with multiple characters at the same time!? Loving the poly representation since you don't see that happen often at all. I can't wait to see where this game goes though. I have a feeling this is gonna be one of my comfort games for sure when the full game drops lol. I'm definitely gonna go feral when the full thing releases
OMG I LOVED IT PLEASE CONTINUE WITH ITTTTTTTTTTT IM BEGGINGGGGGGGGGG
The story's interesting so far, though i find it funny that stuff like pinterest, microsoft, etc brand is censored but the pokemon logo on chris's outfit isnt
The plot is interesting, the arts are PHENOMENAL, the voices are all sooooo charming, got me giggling and blushing XD (especially you Kai can you hmu every night and morning so I can start and end the day with that sultry accent of yours, pretty please?) Can't wait to see the full game one day, great job and thank you creators!

i wanted to play but it said interrupted forbiden when downloading . . .
Try downloading the itch app onto your pc first (especially if you're on Mac), and then play it from there. Hope it works!
This was so cute <3 I love all the characters. Just a question, will the full game cost any money? If so, how much would it cost? Thank you!

Snow White was right, why only have one when i can have seven
This is so real
Everything about this game makes me so so happy!! I'm an absolute sucker for beachy games, cafes and the handsome men working in them, also handsome sheriffs and bookstore clerks.
Also character customisation, room design, brekkie choices ;-; we're so blessed
I can't wait for the full game to come out, take your time and take care of yourselves, this game'll be more than worth the wait :D
Hello! small problem, whenever I'm creating my character and go to choose my pronouns there's no confirm button and I can't get out of that little screen and it covers everything. Any help is appreciated, I really want to play this game but its kind of hard when there a black box covering everything :/
Have you tried changing it in the settings on the main menu?
Yes I have! when I open it in the settings there's still no confirm button and I can't click out of it. it just stays there.
