About Free Use App ~Stories of Hinomori~
Free Use App ~Stories of Hinomori~ is an adult narrative dating sim by shinkuDev, built in Unity with animated AI CG art. It is set in a quiet town where an invite-only app changes how intimacy works. You play a male protagonist with little romantic experience; your childhood friend installs the app on your phone and guides the first setup. After she accepts, you can follow app rules to escalate and test limits with different girls, whose boundaries vary. The game uses map exploration, conversation, and dating choices, with lust and stress rising over evenings that may end close or distant.
The current build is v0.2.1, released September 30, 2026, and development is ongoing. It runs on Windows and Android, with English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Russian text; there is no censorship. The latest update adds Akari and her date, with 28 animations, found by running in the park. It also adds earning money from retail jobs on Shopping Street and Academy tutoring, item purchases and use, a perk system, and skills such as Fitness and Street Smarts. UI, quality-of-life fixes, and balance changes are included.
Developer's description
Free Use App is an adult narrative dating sim set in a quiet town where a secret, invite-only app rewrites the rules of intimacy. You’re not smooth. You’ve never had a girlfriend. Your childhood friend is tired of watching you waste chances — so she puts the app on your phone and walks you through the first steps herself. Once both sides are set up and she accepts, the agreement is simple: within the app’s rules, you can act. Touch. Escalate. Push limits. Different girls mean different boundaries. Read the room, or watch the moment fall apart. Explore the map, talk your way into meetings, and spend evenings that start with conversation and end however far you’re willing to go. Lust builds, stress climbs. Some nights she stays close, some nights she needs space.
