Just Bros

v2.31 Returning: Tutoring Feng Massaging with Reuben If you’re not interested in these, you can skip them and instead gain boosted affection with your roommates (only if your affection is low enough). New fun event: To unlock it normally, you would need to: Have been attending this event whenever the opportunity appears Have made a specific “niche” choice back in Chapter 23 (hint: who did you give the gummy to?) For this update, don’t worry, the second requirement is temporarily disabled, so the game will assume you made the correct choice. As always, all requirements will revert to their intended values in the next update. ️Changes to previous chapters: Chapter 29 – Exit Illusion Minigame Temporarily disabled The story will continue without it Currently being revamped Chapter 30 – Statue Illusion (Score Requirements Adjusted) Part 2: 70 → 60 Part 3: 85 → 75 v2.30 The Final Hours at Alderic Mansion First of all, I’m really sorry for the wait. This was probably one of the most taxing updates I’ve worked on so far. One thing about the different arcs in Just Bros is that they let me experiment with different storytelling styles, tones, and presentation. They give me room to take risks and try out new ways to tell the story—and I think this update reflects that quite a bit. I’m honestly not sure whether it’ll be a hit or miss for everyone, but I genuinely did my best to create something that feels fresh, different, and memorable . Since this is the closing part of the supernatural arc , I felt like I really had to lean into the weirdness, chaos, and wackiness of it all. That said, this update is also very story-focused . It wraps up a lot of lingering questions and plot threads you may have had, while also pushing forward some very important story progression for a certain character. I’m also trying to put more emphasis on depth , especially when it comes to the main romance routes , so things will naturally begin progressing beyond just surface-level crushes and attraction. After this arc, Just Bros will be returning to more grounded storylines again , so this update is very much the final big supernatural detour before things settle back into the more character-driven, everyday drama and romance. I really can’t wait for you all to experience the final stretch of the Alderic Mansion arc . Important Notes The final part of this chapter is not part of the fun event but requires very high affection to view. For this update, the affection requirement for this part has been greatly reduced so more players can access it. This will revert back to normal in the next update , so take this as a temporary accessibility adjustment for now. UI Changes A few small UI improvements have also been added: Week / Day and your Money ($$$) will now be displayed during gameplay The relationship status screen is revamped Music credits will now appear at the bottom-right of the screen. Please Note The Chapter 29 minigames will be reworked in the future. For now, the Counting Bibs minigame has been completely removed as a temporary fix. The entire sequence in Chapter 29 will be remade eventually, including both Minigame 1 and Minigame 2 . v2.29 Hi everyone! The January 2026 VN update is finally here and live! Entering Alderic Estate This chapter follows the boys as they finally step into the Alderic's compound … but things don’t go as planned ( duh... ) and things start to go realll bad (as they do duhh) A Quick Heads-Up: Minigames This chapter includes minigames , and I want to apologize in advance if they feel challenging. They require visual accuracy , which can be especially tough on mobile , and even on PC they may take a few tries. Please take your time (or you can use the guide). This remake does introduce more supernatural elements . This opens up a lot of creative possibilities, new events, unusual situations, genre-mixing, and yes… fun scenarios for the MC That said, Just Bros is still first and foremost a grounded story . The core themes remain rooted in realistic issues, emotions, and relationships. Most of the main romances do not permanently cross that boundary . Even when things do cross over (especially in this arc), the story will return to its status quo . ( I’ll leave the details to the arc itself so you can experience how that unfolds ) 2026-01-09 Added Bonus Episode v2.28 N/A v1.30 Chapter 30 I’ve been working on fixing bugs, recoding chunk of messy badly written codes, and polishing some things for Just Bros VN this month. First off, I want to apologize for the delay—the upcoming update will now be released tomorrow . For anyone subscribed this month but not planning to renew next month, don’t worry! You can still request access to the VN once it’s live. Now for the proper news: Just Bros is getting a slight overhaul, starting with new added screens: Relationship and Stats status screen You’ll no longer need to slowly click through the message box to check your stats. A new screen will appear at the end of each chapter, allowing you to easily view all the points you’ve accumulated. Letting you see stats only at the end of the chapter is designed so you can't keep checking what increases after each dialogue option, especially when backing up during events is still allowed. This feature still allows you to replay a chapter if you realize you've lost points with characters you really like and want to try again. This should give you more control over your decisions without the need for endless backtracking Hopefully now it is clearer and easier to view the progress you have done Chapter and Day Announcement Another small changes is adding screens for Chapter and Day Announcement. So you know exactly when the event is taking place Helpful hints All information and hints will also be transferred to Screens Remember the mess that is in the Treasure Hunt Arc? All clues will now display nicely and neatly on screens for easy viewing instead of scrolling through text box one by one. It will make the Treasure Hunt Arc and much more enjoyable experience. The upcoming update also includes some minor fixes, such as addressing issues with receiving more than two blue tickets and ensuring certain scenes trigger properly. Unfortunately, I didn't keep track of every fix as I was making them throughout the month, so I can't provide a full list. When do the changes take effect? The changes has been implemented starting from chapters 1 and 8, as well as the latest chapter 29 and the upcoming chapter 30. So you can safely continue from where you end to the upcoming chapter 30 with no issue. The older chapters will be updated gradually over the next update or two. If you're continuing from the latest update, the changes should not affect your save file. To be on the safe side, it's recommended to either load from the latest update or start fresh from the beginning. Loading saves from chapters in between may cause errors before they are updated. v1.29.2 Fix v1.29 Chapter 29 v1.28 Chapter 28 v1.27.2 Chapter 27 v1.26.2.2 N/A v1.26 Chapter 26 v1.25.2 Chapter 25 v1.24.2.2 Chapter 24 Part 2 v1.24.1.2 Chapter 24 Part 1 v1.23 This chapter fun scenes also come in 3 tiers, each hinging on the level of affection cultivated with the character. The initial tier demands minimal affection, ensuring an easy entry into the chapter's fun scenes for majority of the players. In keeping with the narrative's emphasis on a sense of 'realism', this chapter also ventures into uncharted territory by presenting it's first ever 'unrealistic CG' - an exclusive CG attainable only but unlocking tier 3 + Story progression for Jack Jasper Jorge & Mikhail + New characters images added including Yan / Ryder / Mikhail / Jack / Vinny / Jorge. v1.22.2 - The requirements for the 'tag-team' fun event has been made easier to achieve - Initially you need to pass a persuasion check and an affinity check to get the scene - But the first persuasion check will immediately lower your affinity before doing the affinity check. - This has been changed so that your affinity is only lowered after you completed the fun event, and not during the persuasion, allowing more patrons to hit the requirements v1.22.1 - This episode second 'fun scene' has the highest check requirements thus far! You you have to complete both a persuasion check as well as a high affinity check with the 'partner' to achieve this route. Not only that, this route will decrease your affinity with the 'partner' - This means it will jeopardize your ending if you wishes to pair up with this partner at the end. But if this partner is not your final choice, feel free to have fun with him if your affinity check with him is high enough. - Of course if you wish to do this route without affecting your relationship, you can always reload your save. So save often and save multiple slots! - And yes, the overall idea is you get to pick your final romance option at the finality of the game. - Due to feedbacks, the fun route is not as missible as previous chapter and the treasure hunt is simplified (but still requires a bit of thinking and talking around) - If you have good relationship with your friends, they will help you streamline the hunt even faster by providing you with direct answers/help (Do attempt the challenges without guide first or you may miss out a number of dialogues with your friends) - I have also redo characters images including Vinny / Rufus / Griff / Niall / Yan / Ryder. All other characters will receive this treatment. This is to standardized all characters images to reflect their sizes etc. Past chapters images will be *remaster* the same way once the game is completed or when I have the time - Please do save more with multiple save slots for different characters if you wish to explore different routes with each characters as the requirements for affinity checks will start getting higher~ v1.21.6 This episode contains a treasure hunt ! Yep have fun hunting for the treasure. I promise the clues are not very difficult to figure out but can be a bit tricky. If you need a lil help, there's always the guide for Vanilla patrons This episode fun event is also a little elusive. hint : Finding the treasure and getting the fun event is totally separate in this episode. You can get both, either one or none at all. v1.20.2 No Bro v1.9.1.2.4 This concludes the fight club arc. + This episode will branch out to 3 different routes, all routes have their own unique CGs. + Additional CGs is unlocked if your fighting skill is at level 2 + The ending section requires you to have save yan in previous chapter to unlock the happy ending for this chapter There are 32 new CGs in this chapter. - Fix Mikhail's dialogue showing up as Mia. - Added stats checking at the start of the chapter. There is an issue where fighting skill is not displayed during stats check. Your fighting skill will just be shown when you start the chapter instead. - A lot of players are confused where to increase your fighting skills to win the fight. There are 2 instances where you can train with Yan, in chapter 11 & chapter 13. You have to save Yan from Griff to unlock these training sessions too. This is to reward players who chose to train with Yan in the earlier chapters - Winning the fight will just show alternate CG where you win the fight duh & a bonus +5 affection with Yan. All CGs will sent to vanilla patrons in full HD next month Cheers Please note that all changes will only be in effect if you begin the chapter from the start. As usual thanks for reporting any issues and continue to feel free dm-ing me v1.19.1 The underground fight club is here and the boys are ready to rumble Yan is the man of the hour and as usual, you will need to accumulate a certain amount of affection with him these past chapters to see the naughtier route The event is has not ended yet and will continue in part 2 in the next update
