I Need to Be in Love

Version 1.6.4 - Early Access - July 14, 2026 Version 1.6.4 is an update between the big ones — new story moments, stats that finally matter, and a pile of fixes and quality-of-life touches. Here's what's new: Story & World Click to expand... • Two new neighbors have moved into your building — Alice and Stefanie now have their own rooms in the Moon Resident apartments. • Ask either of them "Where do you live?" in conversation to unlock the door to their room. • Visit in the evening or at night and you might catch them at an... unplanned moment. Handle it carefully — you'll be asked to keep it a secret. • New collectible art unlocked in the Gallery for both scenes. Characters Click to expand... • Charlotte now hangs out at the gym every sunset — you can meet her there directly, no need to go through Dante first. • (Training with her and asking her out still requires becoming a gym trainer through Dante, same as before.) • Kim now shows up at the office too, with a brand-new conversation. Phone & Apps Click to expand... • New Stock Trading app — buy and sell 6 different assets (KM, Times, Velvet, Blue Sky, Agro, Transit) as prices move throughout the day. • Pick your own name-color for the player character in Settings. • The Gallery keeps growing with new unlockable art, plus a red notification dot the moment new art unlocks. • Save slots can now hold your own notes, so you always remember what's going on in each save. ️ World & UI Click to expand... • Hover over any location on the map to instantly see which characters are there right now. • Home has fully become the "Moon Resident" apartment building — bump into more neighbors in the halls. Systems & Stats Click to expand... • Intelligence and Charm finally do something! Clear the gauge completely in any Office minigame for +1 Intelligence, or land a perfect shift at the Cafe for +1 Charm. • Every minigame now tells you exactly how much stat and money you earned the moment your shift ends. Bug Fixes Click to expand... • Nami no longer refuses to talk after the Coffee Incident — sleep one night and she's back to normal. • Fixed missing contact photos for Ethan, John, and Nami. • Yuri no longer appears at Meadowfield while you're playing as her. • Fixed the trigger for meeting Yuri at the club for the first time. • Fixed overlapping tappable images on mobile sometimes registering the wrong tap. Improvements Click to expand... • Time Skip can no longer push your stats into negative numbers. • Hana's date quiz now displays correctly in English instead of Thai. • Sleeping no longer drains Intelligence or Charm — only Strength dips slightly now. • Toned down map brightness for easier viewing. • Added hover tooltips to the Time and Energy icons on your HUD. Localization Click to expand... • Minigame how-to-play instructions are now translated across all 13 supported languages. Thank you so much for playing and supporting the project. More is already cooking for the next big update. Version 1.6 - Early Access - June 20, 2026 New Features Added Dating System for Charlotte and Hana.

Major Features Added Quest System Note App Office Promotion Exams Office Minigame Club & Bar Shopping Calendar Improvements Translation Support (14 Languages) In-Game Dev Log 4 New Characters (Tom, Helen, Nami, Jun) Bug Fixes Fixed Message App not displaying messages. Fixed time changing to noon when entering the office. Fixed missing heart icons. Fixed calendar date inconsistencies. Fixed Charlotte’s birthday display. Fixed Jun portrait display issues. Developer Note Development should become more consistent going forward. I recently completed a full relationship chart for all major characters, which makes planning future story events, romance routes, quests, and character progression much easier. My current roadmap is to release content gradually through regular updates rather than saving everything for large patches. This allows development to stay flexible while still following the long-term direction planned for the game. Community feedback will continue to play an important role in shaping future systems, events, and features. Thank you for your support and feedback. ❤ Version 1.5a - Early Access - April 10, 2026 This patch focuses on improving and polishing the language (Spanish / Thai).
