Living Together!
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
v0.37 alpha available now!
The Authentic Oniichan hentai experience where you live together with a person you affectionally call Imouto, and she refers to you as Oniichan ─ Living Together!
Meet your love interest (nameable). She’s referred to you all her life as Oniichan (relationship changeable). Affectionately, you also call her your little Sister (also changeable)!
You cohabitate in a small studio apartment. You’ll have to get along in this small area where you’ll spend a lot of time together. Through interacting with her, you build up a relationship that’s based on trust, friendship . . . and more! Talk to her and find out her favourite topics, play video games, and take her with you on day trips. Through your actions, she can come to trust you more, and, of course, you can also build her sexual attraction toward you. But be warned! You can also lose her trust in you.
Living Together! is a laid-back game intended to be played with one hand. Please enjoy this simple Oniichan game.

Key Features
- Believably beautiful Imouto, rendered in high-poly 3D. She could be real.
- Fully simulated Imouto, with more than 50 variable psychological metrics like interests, mood, lust, sexual interest, and more. She IS real.
- According to my estimates, Imouto can adopt more than 30,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (that’s 30 with 49 zeroes) possible personas. These personas are seeded so they remain believable.
- Build Trust and Attraction through a deep dialogue system and actions; lose her trust and sexual interest in you by messing things up.
- Spend leisurely days with your little sister, talking, flirting, bathing and potentially having sex with her (future update) — if she trusts you enough and is attracted to you.
- Get closer together, really…close…together.
- Be a creep and spy on her as she bathes or uses the toilet. Be careful; you might get caught!
- Beautiful “1K Apato” Apartment with day-night cycle.
- Energy, time, money, household management, and other systems were added and planned!

Game Mechanics (Implemented)
One-handed gaming ;)
Build Trust
Trust is the most critical aspect of this game. If she trusts you, she will be open to going further. Fail, and she might even decide to call Mom! Most of everything you do when you interact with her is also (co-)dependent on her trust in you. Even if she finds you highly sexually attractive, without trust, she will never dare to confess her feelings to you. The best way to build trust is to talk to her, do fun activities with her, and refrain from doing things she dislikes.
Build Attraction
She will only see you as a big brother or friend without attraction. With enough attraction to you, you may initiate sexual activities, and she won't reject you. Without lust for you, anything of a sexual nature will lead to a swift dismissal...and her losing her trust in you! Low trust, high attraction, and you're just a masturbatory fantasy for her. High trust, low lust, and you're friend-zoned. There is a middle ground you have to find. Building her desire for you can be done through flirting, talking about lewd topics and later by engaging in sexual activity that she finds pleasant.
Interest Matrix
She is modelled with a realistic, comprehensive psychological matrix that is randomised using a seed. This means her exact psychology and interests will differ from playthrough to playthrough! Seeded means it is neither completely random nor set in stone. Each of her over half a googol (10^100) of persona types is believable.
By interacting with her, you can discover her interests and even broaden or deepen her interests.
Discussion Topics
You can build trust by finding discussion topics that strike a chord with her, e.g., that are interesting to her. The higher the interest, the more trust you can build with her. You always get 1 Shared Interest that you can choose at the start of a game. You can find out other high-interest topics she likes by discussing with her regularly and on various topics. You get to discuss each topic once a day.
Story Events
You unlock Story Events, usually day or weekend trips, by building trust or attraction. These events can increase her trust, lust or mood for the better or the worse. By bonding with her during these events, you can increase her trust in you or desire for you.
Lewd Topics
Sexual interest and attraction can be built by discussing lewd topics. She will naturally be interested in these topics as she's of that age. But, being completely inexperienced, she will take time warming up to discuss these topics openly with Oniichan. Her having high trust in you is paramount, especially when you take those first careful steps.
Mood
Like everyone, Sister has emotions expressed in a general mood. This can be bad, normal, good, happy, embarrassed, etc. Unlike most modern women persons, Sister is well-adjusted, and generally, her mood is normal and stable. Even if she's on her period or not feeling well, her surface mood should be normal most of the time.
But anyone can have a bad day, and your actions can also sour her mood. Luckily, Oniichan can also try to lighten his little sister's mood with games or by cheering her up. Her mood will also influence the trust you can build up from other actions and how receptive she will be to sexual advances.
Menstrual Cycle
She has a menstrual cycle, going through 4 phases on a 21 to 25-day schedule. Her phase in the cycle will influence her mood and her sexual desire. It will also determine her chances of getting pregnant. Certain Oniichans can smell when she's on her period or ovulating. Other Oniichans can try to work out her schedule using the calendar in the room.
Customisable Oniichan
Choose your history with your little sister, each option giving you different advantages and disadvantages when you start a new game. Examples are knowing her favourite discussion topic, having higher trust or attraction, or even knowing when she's on her period.
Career path styles will influence how much money you have to spend and how much time you get to spend with her in the evenings. A student will be home when she's home, giving you maximum exposure time every evening. A part-timer will be home later but has more disposable income to spend on his little sister. Current career paths are:
- Student
- Part-Timer
- Full-Timer
- NEET
- Day Trader (subscribers)
Day - Night and Week Cycle
The game has a perpetual day/night and week cycle. During the days, you'll be at work or at school (or laze around in bed if you're a NEET!). You'll find yourself in her company at home during the evenings. That's when most of the interaction with her happens. Weekends work a little differently since you'll be together all day. That's also when you can enjoy each other's company outdoors and make happy memories together. These activities can cost money but are essential for bonding.
Depending on the scope of the activity, this features a visual novel story with potential extras. PLANNED: specific weekend activities based on specific interests she may have or develop.
Energy Management
Every action costs energy, and you have a finite pool of energy (indicated by your smartwatch battery). You can also regenerate energy through relaxing activities like drinking tea, soda, or bathing. Quality sleep at night is the best way to regenerate a chunk of energy.

Planned Game Mechanics
I want to include this in the game before I call the Alpha done. This list may change in the exact details or by adding/scrapping ideas altogether.
- Night-time wholesome and lewd interaction (a major part of the game!)
- Nude bathing together with wholesome and lewd interaction (a major part of the game!)
- Additional weekend outdoor activities (an important part of the game).
- Weekend activities are based on her interests (long-term wishes).
- Good and Bad Endings: when she gets pregnant by you, the game ends, and there will be good and bad endings. Good endings involve high trust and having enough resources to make it work.
- New Game+ (either continue after an ending or indeed start over with some inherited benefits)

- Living Together! 0.36 Bug Report8 days ago

Log in with itch.io to leave a comment.
Ok so I was playing on 0.36. The most problematic thing is NEET type character is worthless. I don't understand his cons and pros, how are you supposed to play as NEET? You have multiple times more time but you can't use it any way that seems important.
NEET is somewhat of a meme and self-inflicted pain. 0.37 will make it slightly easier to maintain built-up Trust but you’ll still struggle financially and to maintain enough energy. The only redeeming quality right now is that playing video games restores the NEET’s energy instead of taking it.
In version 0.36 it was not working that way. It was restoring one energy to use it immediately.
Edit: I found that the error still exist but entry condition is something I don't understand. Sometimes by playing video games as neet you will gain some energy to finally have it less than before playing the games. It happens on 0.37 but I don't know how you can repeat the error. Maybe fiddle with playing the games and doing dishes, laundry etc.
So I found another error. Because you can sometimes have enough energy to spend so much time that it goes into another day example from Friday to Saturday when you go to sleep you will skip whole day. Even if it was 1 AM.
Does this only happen from Fridays to Saturdays and/or Saturdays to Sundays? There is a split between weekdays and the weekend, so something might go wrong there ^_^
I’ll investigate!
It can happen on any day. You only need to roll over 12 PM into next day. I guess intended behavior would be going to normal start hour of the day with energy penalty as you didn't sleep too much but it is to be thinker over as somebody can have full energy while going to sleep.
Taking Shaori on a date generates error.
Also English isn't added to her interest lists.
You’re like a pro bug hunter! I added it to the bug tracker.
You can overbuy PokeStick and Ice popsicle (there is no limit)
^_^’ I have a lot to do!
So next error. Save at start of the day when you can do the dishes, laundry etc. Next close game and load save. When you will do anything it will log this error:
Edit: also happens on any interaction menu that you can save and load game. Choosing anything will make this error show up.
I don't know if it is a bug but watching porn with her only gives you trust (lot of it). Also she can be very open to watching porn and yet she isn't interested in talking about soft erotic topic with player.
Last error I think. When you start the game mother is telling you that you need to clean the dishes do the laundry etc. But when you are playing part timer you don't need to do any of that. Number of days without doing it will always be lover than the maximum allowed.
Ok so I'm still founding some errors, when it is a weekend choose to play a video game with her (I had erotic)
And after that ignoring error I got information that "we came back from the mall".
Error outside of game but when you go to bug tracker and click on Report a Bug on itch IO it will lead you to https://advent-games.itch.io/living-together/devlog/695449/official-bug-tracker and it doesn't exist.
Special dinner isn't used. I had it for 2 weeks in game.
So when playing as neet you can have hour be after 16 example Monday 16:45 but then there will be option "wait for shiaori to come home". Using it will roll back time to 16:00.
Mostly to have it happen you must do the groceries.
The same is true for work as part timer as you start work on 12:00 you can use clever menagement of time and get to work on 13:45. It won't rollback time but it will still skip time to given hour like you normally go to work (no penalties for running rate).
I think I got them all categorised: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fbwUIPV7oLyHD8EyYmDWp3IU9MFUrFJGOMnBVaK_2WM/edit?usp=sharing
Will check tomorrow.
how do trigger the night play.
not sure if it's bugged for me but whenever i hit eye button it automatically skips to the ejaculation scene
This is a bug I’m working on fixing ASAP. Look out for an update soon. Thank you.
ok thought so, keep up the good work. liking the game so far
how do you raise attraction?
keeps going lower no matter what i try.
so 10/10 for realism i guess. just like real life.
Can I know which oniichan type you were (best friend, doctor, longing)?
i think i went for best friend. maybe i should try one of the others
Yea, Best Friend gets a daily attraction penalty for being ‘friendzoned’, so you’ll struggle more to build up that tension but its easier gaining trust.
That being said, I am working on a fundamental rebalance of how it works. Trust penalties from interactions will be more tied to her current mood and the attraction penalty for Best Friend specifically will be adjusted so you incur less minus points by the time you get to build her sexual interest.
^_^ look for updates, soon!
awesome thanks, i'll try a different start :)
great game so far. gonna keep a good eye out for the updates
Not sure where else I can leave feedback, so here I am. First of all I'm really pleased to see this type of game in this graphic style from who I think is a western dev? The Japanese devs have had a monopoly on this genre for a loooooong time now! So bravo to you! Now for the negative, I'll keep this as short and succinct as I can but, that's never simple with these kinds of things... My two main issues at the moment with the game are 1. The lack of filler ecchi content that is popular and typical of this genre e.g. upskirts, oniichan walking in on sister changing, finding her panties in the laundry, sister walking around in underwear, side boob/nipple peeks etc... Nothing ever really happens and it's quite boring and unrealistic in this genre. The time spent between each evening interaction just becomes a blur and monotonous... 2. I can't help but feel I should be able to do a lot more in the game based on the included instructions/manual and the impression your advertising of it gives, it feels like there is still a lot missing in terms of the basic interaction foundation. for example, head pats, hugs, body part poking/rubbing, skirt lifting and of course we can't forget the famous onii-chan dick flashing! Also gifting appears to missing too? While on the gifting topic I think it might be better to make the purchasable items at the mall usable rather than automatic... It really takes away the reward for your investment because you don't actively see or know when they take effect. Sure it might be convenient but, I think it takes away from the experience, it's nice to give gifts to our imouto right!? Anyway this is already getting quite long so, I wish you all the best with the development of the game and strongly recommend that more work be put into the foundation and making the players time spent throughout the whole day more interesting over flashy gimmicks or expanding the content further in terms of sex. I think it'd be wise to have foreplay included in upcoming releases but, I wouldn't say sex is a priority beyond that. Foundation and filler first for this type of game my friend :] (if you'd like further clarification on my points I'd be happy to elaborate)
Honestly, this is some of the best feedback I’ve gotten so far! Thank you. All of the fun stuff you mentioned is in my mind and will be added; “accidents”, rewards, headpats, gradually more lewd touches, and so on! It’s just that these mechanics all take a long time to develop for a single dev operation like this. It’s encouraging to find that you’re asking for exactly the kind of thing that’s of my mind, too.
Aside from Imouto interactions, I also plan on way more days out with her where you can unlock more romantic or lewd stuff. ^_^ Thank you for your great feedback and interest in Living Together! I hope you’ll stick around for the improvements and additions I have in mind.
You're welcome, happy to share my thoughts and feedback any time! One other thing I would like to add which i think is quite important. The watch should be made context sensitive if possible. It's tedious having to click it so many times to check info on the fly as it functions in a linear fashion. Best option here I Think is to have it automatically switch to the appropriate info based on the current screen menu. For example: If the player is on the top activity menu for any given time of day have it switch to show energy. If on a menu that involves changes to imouto's stats e.g. conversations or watch TV, have it switch to her trust and attraction levels. If at the mall, have it switch to show the account funds, so on, so forth. I think you get the point yes?
Hello you have a few tips I'm a bit confused what to do thank you
You can click on her when she’s sitting in the living room to interact. You build trust and attraction through these various interactions. From my own experience and what I heard from testers, the best strategy is to try one different topic in the casual topics list every day and see if her trust increases from that.
Once you found a topic that increases her trust, there is a good chance (~30% chance) that there is another topic in that same category that she will like. This gives you 2 additional topics every evening to discuss that will build her trust.
Happy hunting!
Wait. Her menstrual cycle is from 21-25 days? Do we have the option to take her to the doctor? Something is wrong with her reproductive system.
XD
Her entire cycle is 21 to 25 days. That includes bleed days and the fallopian and ovulation phases. If she bled for 25 days she’d need some serious surgery.
Yeah, but the female menstrual cycle is an average of 28 days. A woman with a 21 day cycle is still having medical issues.
True. But be glad I’m not throwing you a curve ball with irregular cycles…yet >8D
Go ahead and throw irregular cycles at me, just don't include the PMS patch! lmao
I'm already having enough trouble keeping her happy.
xD
Do you have a Simplified Chinese version
Hello, the external link in my country is unable to download your game
There is no filehost I can find that will work in China. The best way for you to download my content, and content from Western sites in general, is by using a VPN. Sorry.
Uploaded a hotfix to 0.36. There was a small bug which kept you from going to bed after 12AM. Links are updated! ^_^
I hope everyone enjoys my little game.
