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 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.

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.
i dont think i've ever played a vn before that had brain rot in it im actually in love
I am playing this on Steam and i am loving it so far but i can't scroll down to the other room customization options am i missing something?
There should be a little dog ear at the bottom of each page. Click it and it will turn to a new page with more options.
omg thank you sooo much i was trying to scroll on it for so long <3
ok i went to check and i do not see it
will this be available on android when the full game releases?
i´ve just played this game and i loved it I NEED MORE. Sorry if i wrote something english is not my first language .
I can´t wait for a future upgrade and i hope this game has a fandom because i need to see people talk about this.
Will this be available for Android one day?

frrrrr
bro literally same, I usually don't play a game that many times, but that had near unlimited customization
FR
im bi now. thanks
WYATT IS AN ABSOLUTE BADDIE 10 OUTTA 10 OH MY DAYS I LOVE THIS GAME
the plot is soooo cute <3
i loved this cant wait to see the game continued futher
THE DEMO IS SO GOOD WTH IM IN LOVE WITH THIS TT
I enjoyed the demo a lot! This visual novel has so much potential to become one of my favorites. I like the diversity of the cast.
Hopefully later in the game we get to see more options to establish our identity, likes, dislikes, etc, and see more drama between the love interests!
Out of all the characters, I'm most interested in Vince and Andrew. Vince's voice actor did a great job with showcasing his awkward charm <3 Also his design and personality reminds me so much of Sol from TKATB which may be why I have a soft spot for him lol!
I'd like to point out is that the voice for Kai wasn't clear enough for me. I get that he's the flirty type but I'm not entirely sure if its because he's meant to be soft spoken or if its the volume.
And for the next update if it's not too much of an ask, I think it would be better if the load and save button was somewhere on the text/dialogue than on the phone so that it's easier to access them.
The voice call with Wyatt was also hilarious lololol
Anyway, I'm really looking forward to the full version of this game! I will be sharing the demo to an Otome discord that I'm in. Once I get paid next month, I'll make sure to donate to the crowdfund ^_^
omggg Sol from TKATB mentioneddd!! I love him, I also have my eye on Vince, he's such a cutie, and I also agree with Kai's voice actor, it's not clear enough, and when compared to the rest of the characters, his voice just kind of sounds a bit muddled, hopefully they're improving on it with the full release.
This was really cuuute!! I hope the full game comes out soon <3
is this game still being updated?
Full version, when?
loved this!!!
I can't wait for the full version of the game! It has a really good story and character design. I loved it <3!
非常有趣的作品。我喜欢他的艺术风格,期待接下来更多有趣的内容。
Chris and I have the same birthday :D! (I loved the game btw and can't wait for the full release)
From what I've played of it, it seems really good! I really can't wait for the full release! :D When is the estimate release date for the full game? :>
2025-2026! although its most likely going to be released in 2026
Ahh!!! TYYY I'll keep on checking the updates!!! :DDD
NWS!!! it'll taje a while but i trust this will be worth it
