After Hours

Lucid Synapse: After Hours is a choice-driven VN with mini-games, where ambitious new employees at a bleeding-edge megacorp get neural chips promising to reclaim 33% of their lives from sleep. Perks hit hard—sharper minds, killer bodies, ruthless edge—but what insidious price does a chipped brain pay?

After the group of friends plays a "seemingly harmless" drinking game, the night teeters perilously close to spiraling out of control: outfits degrade, loyalties shatter, buried desires claw free. Every filthy step is rationalized—"Just a little teasing," "Everyone's having fun"—yet whispers of doubt creep in: Are these escalating betrayals their own twisted cravings... or the chip hijacking their will?

Savor the slow unraveling of agency, identity, and sanity over 7 hypnotic nights. Will they rise above... or be corrupted and consumed?

Content Warning: This adult VN explores mature themes including psychological manipulation, corruption, jealousy, explicit sexual content, and non-consensual undertones. 18+ only.

Currently built solo with some AI-assisted assets (hey, beats my stick figures!), but your donations will directly fund a professional artist to bring the CGs, outfits, and intimate scenes to life. Let's elevate this together!
