365 Days Before Us: Week 1
Happy New Year, everyone! May 2026 be a great year for each and every one of you!
To celebrate, here is your very first week with Emma, with version 0.2 of 365 Days Before Us.
As a reminder, this is a relaxing side project I'm using to clear my mind between two working sessions on Netorase Phone, or when I'm having issues finding inspiration for Laura's adventures. Because it's a relaxing project, that lets me do anything I want without having to think too much, I've often found myself writing Emma to relax instead of playing a video game or reading a book. The writing process is also faster, as it's a completely linear story.
I'm sharing it as a small bonus to thank you all for your support, but don't expect any form of release schedule, as I want to keep this story as a relaxing outlet. ;)
365 Days Before Us is a deliberately non-serious story, trying to emulate the mood of some manga series that rely on stupid plots to justify funny situations. It's a story written for my very own enjoyment, without caring for what other people might enjoy. To say it crudely: if you like it, good, if you don't, too bad. =D
That being said, I'm 100% open to suggestions for future storylines, as there is absolutely nothing set in stone, and I'm going to write whatever feels right in the moment. So, feel free to share your ideas!
I hope you'll enjoy spending time with Emma as much as I enjoyed writing her.

Netorase Phone version 0.32: Claimed public version?
Hey Le Stag <3 So far two issues with 365 Days. Choosing Woman Emma calls you a boy and you don't get he option to say you do or don't have a boyfriend instead of the annoying gender swap "girlfriend" - because the assumption is the person playing is a guy. Which I'm not. And sadly for unrealizing guys out there "gay" isn't the natural condition of actual women. I like boys. So I'd prefer to have that option when she asks what my relationship status is. Plus from one dev to another on this subject, me having a boyfriend opens a whole new and unique path no other game really has. Getting involved with Emma while having an unknowing or knowing boyfriend. NTR isn't a guy thing. It doesn't care what gender you are. Messing around with Emma while I have a boyfriend... and having the choice to tell him or not... involve him or not... or having Emma straight up steal me from him... that right there would be NTR, love. I hope you had an amazing New Year! <3
Hello! You're right, I added the gender option after having written the dialogues, and forgot to change the "girlfriend" part. It will be fixed for next version. For your next point, you're right, it could offer nice story moments, and good opportunities. That being said, it would also make the story a bit more complicated, and I'm deliberately writing the most simple story possible, to keep it relaxing. So, I won't add that. I'm keeping it in mind though, as it's an interesting angle. ;)
Nice✨👌
This has a lot of potential, and it's really fun to play 🥰
Cool
Love this so far :) , just noticed one inconsistency: playing as a female mc, in first convo Emma says "I dumped my girlfriend a month ago", then next day she says "You're my very first girlfriend too! I've only ever been with men before" It's really not important, just thought I'd report. Love your work so much, you're one of my favourite devs, maybe even #1
I quite like this, however images are not being sent to the gallery, so once a pic has been seen it can't be accessed again.
Yeah, I'm a fan. It's like dating Ashley lol
Well DAMN. She is fun. I liked that! (Just got to play, did one run, love it!)
I am definitely gonna continue my support at this point I like this Nice little side project and it feels like there is a definitive end to look forward to based on it's name and the premise
In short version : I liked a lot this fresh new start. Long version : I'm more a slow burn person, it goes a bit too fast imo, but it's a side projet so i get that it's less polished and the storie might be shorter The dialog need a few polish (she call us "guy" even if we play a girl. Having the choice to play a girl or a boy is awesome. Like James said, it would be more realistif to have MC sending back photo too, even if no render is made.
Yeah, this story isn't really going to be a slow burn. I corrected a few "guy" already, I'll try to make sure I haven't missed more. As I said to James, I kinda like that she doesn't even get a single picture from the player.
Great idea. And a lovely character from the start.
I really liked the second chapter!
Enjoying it so far but the gallery is broken.
How so?
Nice idea, like it so far. Especially like that it seems to be more fast paced than netorase phone. I understand it's a side game so won't be as deep, but i hope there's some extra dialogue if you reluctantly accepted her sleeping around. Maybe add in some dialogue about MC sending her pics. Even if we don't see them. Seems odd if it's one-way imho.
I kinda like the very one-sided thing, with the player not sending even a single picture, even not off-screen. I feel that it emphasizes the way Emma latched on you instantly, without a proper actual reason, and without even needing one, on top of increasing the focus on her.
I like it😁, nice idea with long distance relationship👍.
