Being Mia's Boyfriend is a Ren'Py text-based phone simulator by Jupi Games, with 2D and AI CG art. You play a male protagonist stuck at work while his girlfriend Mia is home alone, bored, and texting him. The story unfolds through messages, photos, and an Instalove feed, and each reply shapes Mia’s choices and her closeness to his best friend Noah. Players can try to pull her back, grow jealous, permit sharing, or push her away, with themes of romance, cheating, and netorare.
The current build is Ch.3 v0.4.0, released October 1, 2026, and development is ongoing. It supports Windows, Linux, Mac, and Android, with English and Turkish language options and no censorship. The latest update, Ch.3 Lights, covers two weeks from October 14 to October 27. It adds another week for Mia at Lena’s shop, her first proper photoshoot, route-specific shoot-day scenes, and paths labeled NTR, NTS, and Faithful. It also includes Kai’s vinyl night, a bigger offer that affects the next chapter, more Lena and Kai content, new Instalove posts, ten VIP images, undo last choice, and a route map on the Stats screen.
Developer's description
You're stuck at work again. Mia, your girlfriend, is home alone, bored, and texting you. Every reply you send changes who she becomes… and how close your best friend Noah gets.
The whole story is told through your phone: read her messages as they arrive, open the photos she sends you, scroll her Instalove feed and decide how you answer. Will you pull her back, get jealous… share her… or push her away?
Ch. 3 "Lights"
(two weeks, Oct 14 to Oct 27)
- Mia's second week at Lena's shop, her first real photoshoot, and a city that suddenly knows her name
- Saturday is shoot day, and every route gets its own version: closed set, couples set, or just the two of you after the crew leaves
- NTR: you know more than she thinks you know. A phone left face up, a door that buzzes open, a story that disappears
- NTS: a live stream, a trench coat at dinner, and a new rule for the bedroom door
- Faithful: the studio after hours, and a Sunday morning with no alarm
- Vinyl night: Kai is DJing, and he still has her earring
- A big offer at the end that changes the next chapter
- More Lena and Kai, new Instalove posts
- 10 new VIP images

It isn't ground breaking but it is above average for this style of game. Writing is to the point, related to the scene and moves the plot along. UI is decent with clear choices affecting paths / dialogue. Pictures are…

Hello, or o/ as I like to write it. I will do my best to express what I feel and give my point of view, but also look at things objectively to see whether this game is worth our time…
MorganFreemansToe2026-10-01★★★★★
Coded by AI, images are by AI, and maybe the game is written by a human but its so mind-numbingly boring that it feels like it was also written by AI. What is the developer even doing here to warrant…
