AYKS (Canceled)
A downloadable AYKS for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Hello everyone! this is crystal, most of you may be wondering if AYKS will release and I am here to update that it wont be (at least for now). Quite a few months ago I had people mostly on twitter try to pry into my personal life and among threats of S/A, doxing and other horrible things because Gold was their favorite and I 'Ruined him' by making him manipulative and abusive. I have decided that It was a mistake to engage so closely with a community known to be extreme and very hostile and the reason I was gone for so long was because I was scared of such things, along with financial issues in my own life. Gold and the game itself has become a bad memory and I will not be working on it anymore. (Though i will probably re-use gold and the others as they all still belong to me) Now that I have returned and had more time to think over things, This is my attempt to set clear boundaries. I have deleted most socials and would not like to be contacted unless it is business related only. Any other reason, I will ignore. Do not solicit for money, friendship or anything else. I am not interested. I will keep AYKS for those of you who did like my character, but be aware I will not continue working on this game anymore. I will move on to a smaller project and will not be released until it has been finished (by my standards).
Thank you for reading - Crystal.

I just heard about what had happened and I'm so sorry that happened to you! This was one of my favorite games and while I knew it was on hiatus I was happy knowing the demo existed! It's a wonderful story just the way it is, and most importantly it's YOUR story and no one elses' to tell you how it should go. Do whatever makes you feel safe and comfortable, that is the most important thing of all! Don't let some literal garbage distract you from the people who do care about you!
so, I came back to check up for any updates and was shocked to not only find that the game had been cancelled, but that Twitter had done what Twitter seems to do best and had treated yet another incredibly talented VN dev like garbage, I don't know why people assume that just because they are attached to someones character, that it gives them the right to get angry or offended over how the creator decides to use that character, and to then respond in the way that they did, that's beyond unacceptable and you didn't deserve it, I will of course miss Gold, he was such a sweetheart, shame we never got to see more of his yandere like tendancies, that could have been exciting, but, whatever you decide to do in the future, I hope you're doing well at least :)
dude that's fucking crazy I am so sorry that happened to you. Just know I loved your game and if you ever do re-create anything your REAL people will love it. so sorry that happened to you.
just know you have a wonderful style and you did a good job on the game.
I'm so sorry these things happened to you. This is the second time I've witnessed a promising & talented VN creator get harassed into quitting & it breaks my heart. I hope that someday, you feel safe enough to continue & know that those who did love the demo & found comfort in it are here for you.
Horrible people ruining things for others once again, I'm sorry you went through this.
nah... bc thats insane, i am so sorry.
when will the full game will be released? bc i can't wait to see more of this game in the future! i do really love the story and the character! he was stole my heart and the story is sound so real and this is like a love yandere story! its not just a game but this is more than just a game!
The game was really fun to play, the backgrounds are nice too <3
I liked how the dialogue box was like a notebook with stickers on it, I wonder what gold meant by saying he'll fix me :0
Oh By the way is there anyway I can send you fanart of the game?
You can send me fanart through my main twitter and main tumblr!

I LOVE ITTTTTT, I got the Neutral ending on the first try! Inquisitive about Kanashi though. Looking forward to dive more into the story!
Mr Gold has quickly stolen my heart!! I am so intrigued by this story already and can't wait to find out whats really going on!!
Here is my playthrough, if you'd like to see it! I hope you enjoy it!
AAAA thank you sm <3
Omg I LOVE watching your videos!

GOLD MY BELOVED. I LOVE HIM SM. loved the game and storyline! cant wait for more! <3
I have no clue how to get the bad end am I a little stupid orrr

How interesting
That was quite an experience. You really made Gold endearing but when his face is shaded he's actually terrifying. The plot itself is actually quite interesting, I thought it followed the typical amnesiac plot but there was an interesting tidbit with both Gold and Kanashi. The one where you dance with Gold was really adorable and I love the addition of the music, it really helped with the immersion. Really looking forward to any updates! Especially when there seems to be more than what we initially see!
Very cute moments, plot makes you think and also heart thumping that I do see 18+ so I'm can't wait for more. Thank you for making this game.
Thank you so much :'D
I liked writing the story and hope that I can leave you surprised with the things that will happen :)
