About IRYS
IRYS is a crime-focused sci-fi visual novel by 0xghost, built in Ren'Py with 3D CG presentation. It is set in Monet, a city-state that grew from displacement, isolation, and a quiet political compromise. Once a district meant to separate non-Americans from society, Monet is now a modern, efficient country with deep moral costs. You play as a Deimos Corporation employee, a tech company that drives the city's progress while hiding illegal experiments, psychological manipulation, and state-backed secrecy. Workplace politics, corporate strain, and fragile relationships guide you through lost memories, manufactured guilt, and hollow promotions. Romance, trust, and ambition collide when coworkers mirror your condition in a system built to control them.
The current build is Chapter 1 Part 2 v1.0.2, released March 29, 2026, and development is ongoing. It runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac in English, uncensored. The latest patch fixes a missing image error in Chapter 1 Part 1, corrects Julie's conference-room dialogue so it reflects earlier choices, and updates older images to match the current brand identity.
Developer's description
IRYS is a crime-driven sci-fi visual novel set in Monet , a city-state born from displacement, isolation, and quiet political compromise. Once a district created to separate non-Americans from society, Monet now stands as its own country—modern, efficient, and deeply compromised. You play as a corporate employee at Deimos Corporation , a technological powerhouse responsible for Monet’s rapid advancement. On the surface, Deimos represents progress: innovation, opportunity, and stability. Beneath it lies a network of illegal experimentation, psychological manipulation, and government-backed secrecy. Spoiler As you navigate office politics, corporate pressure, and fragile relationships, you begin to realize something is wrong—not just with the company, but with yourself. Lost memories resurface through dreams. Guilt feels manufactured. Promotions feel earned… yet hollow. Romance, trust, and ambition collide as coworkers become mirrors of your own condition—some complicit, some broken, some trying to survive in a system designed to control them. IRYS is a story about power disguised as professionalism, trauma rewritten as “growth,” and the cost of accepting blame for something you don’t remember doing.
