365 Days Before Us

Editorial Meh

365 Days Before Us is a phone-based visual novel about two strangers—an MC and a woman abroad for a year—who flirt, exchange pictures, and discuss their sex lives while maintaining no real romantic commitment. The game's appeal lies in its simplicity: no branching choices, no complex mechanics, just character-driven messaging and images. Community opinion splits sharply on the content itself. Some players appreciate it as a voyeuristic / exhibitionist dynamic with mutual benefit and no emotional entanglement—framing it as "OnlyFans without payment" or a realistic portrayal of consensual long-distance flirtation. Others find it hollow precisely because the characters lack connection, arguing it's less engaging than traditional NTR or romance and that the MC remains one-dimensional. A vocal minority criticizes the shallow character work and lack of meaningful player agency, though most acknowledge the developer can write—they're simply not investing that skill here. This is explicitly a side project, and updates are infrequent. Whether it lands depends entirely on your tolerance for low-stakes, emotionally detached exhibitionism: if that appeals, it delivers competently; if you want narrative depth or consequence, move on.
