Off the Record
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
The latest version is: Episode 5 (v0.4.2)
If you liked the game, please consider supporting me on Patreon. It will help tremendously.
In Off the Record you take the role of a young adult. You have a beautiful girlfriend, you live your peaceful and ordinary life in a big house. Everything is fine... And yet you feel empty.
And so you decide to leave, to start from scratch. You move to a new city, rent a place to stay, meet new girls... But rather soon things take an unexpected turn.
This is my first "big" project in the AVN direction. I hope you would enjoy it as much as I do by creating it!

Dev might've died in Ukraine/ Russia War.
Hasn't Posted in 2 years.
Patreon is 'under review'.
Honestly, the dev might have died in Ukraine
But I hope not
another good dead game, baff what a shit.
So the game is abandoned?
Is this game abandoned?
the dev is russian and on his last update (september 22) he said there was a possibility he could be drafted to go to Ukraine... he then disappeared and hasn't posted or accessed his media since. we're not really sure what happened to him :/
Oh, well leaving my views on that conflict aside, that's not great for the continuation of this game.
When will the next update coming DEV??
His last update was September 30th of last year on Patreon. Gotta pay to see it, of course.

Not bad most realistic as far as body functions the ladies pussys behave like they should mostly while being messed with and its nice that they aren't all the same generic.... As far as story goes I kinda wish the almost killing the dancer was optional and avoidable as once the scene went that way I kinda wanted to avoid it bit turns out you can't but other than that one scene its fine well except the flashbacks those kinda suck especially because I am not really given enough information on the mc s girlfriend or rather ex girlfriend so I don't really care about her or her mom and I'd actually understand the reason he leaves best if she refuses to have sex with him. ... Anyway keep up the good work sweet game so far
This game is awesome ! The MC is such a womanizer but with style. The build up points system works great, you have to be smart to fit every girl personality in order to build up relationship points. Some girls might like you to check their ass, others don't. Its up to you to figure everything out.
Another strong point of the game is the graphics. Amazing graphics , kind of unique, very good looking characters. Graphics are not similar with other VNs out there, the graphics are stylized in a unique way. It fits the atmosphere perfectly.
Dialogues are good, linear, nothing vast or extremely funny... heading towards intercourse and don't strand around.
I can't figure out these 4 any help is appreciated
Might be a bit late but if you still don't have them here's how to get them.
1. Lose the money at the cafe, by not giving your name to the hobo and having sex in the backroom with crystal. This allows you to meet with the cafe owner and reenact what caused you to lose the money.
2-4 are really simple when asked to choose between the girls during the dare game, instead of saying all, pick each one individually and play out the rest of the dare game to get the scenes. Granted I don't know if there is any requirements on affection the girls should have, so go for the harem route and don't tank any of their stories before this point.
whats's the song that plays on Mi-sun's first sex scene?
Next Update Date ?
Deadbeat ~ You communicate with patrons mostly via comments on Itchio, right? Have you considered a dedicated DISCORD channel?
Are there any Walkthroughs done by the Developer? I found one by that Mejoress and it is awful (skips around, doesn't account for paths, etc.).....I have made a few runs through the game, but still have 3 scenes in the Gallery that are not playable for me (Gallery Scenes Row 8 Columns 1 and 2).
I haven't made a walkthrough myself and sadly I'm not aware of any others' walkthroughs. But my friend Zoey Raven makes a WT Mod for my game (https://www.patreon.com/posts/40690844)
It has all paths simultaneously unlocked, so you can see all the scenes.
Thanks DB!
can you make it downloadable in itch io?
second this, the app download doesnt work
Sadly, I can't upload packages over 2GB on itch. Try one of these links if Mega doesn't work for you:
PC
MAC
ANDROID
when next update?
Next month is very likely. Can't be more specific yet, sorry.
I don't know why the heck this is happening but I basically can't play any games made with renpy, it crashes instantly or almost instantly, I checked my ram to see if it was an OOC problem but no. Off the record specifically keeps crashing literally after I click once to see the next text line. I have no idea what's happening if someone here could give some tips I would appreciate it.
Sorry, can't think of anything in particular off the bat. Do you have any crash logs?
i got the log, but I'm not sure how to share it. I uninstalled and installed again but the problem persists.
oh wait, I didn't realize you meant the Android version. Sadly I don't know much about Android architecture and such, but I'm fairly certain that these crashes depend on the device. Since I haven't got any complaints whatsoever with the latest version.
Yeah, it's 100% my phone, I was hoping someone had a tip about it but I guess there was no luck, thx for replying though. I used to play your game on my last phone, the game is amazing, I guess I'll play it either when the problem somehow gets fixed or when I get a new phone.
any femdom in this game and character name, please?
or dominating personality female character name
is there another way besides mega? the transfer quota is very irritating

How to unlock the scene of Ingrid's boss?
For this scene to happen you have to:
1) not to tell your name to the hobo in Ep2;
2) have fun with Crystal in the backroom in Ep3
In that case, you will have the scene in Ep4Pt1.
The game is really perfect i love this game. And i want to unlock all gallery but i can't can you help me for this?
Sure! Which scenes you couldn't unlock?
Ep.3 second scene on the gallery.
It's a different variation of the first scene. You need to get more affection points with Sia to go to sleep in bed with her, instead of a couch.
Good game, except that its dragged down by the 'dead prostitute/ blackmail' subplot. The game would be improved by excising that whole idea entirely. The characters and their relationships are interesting enough on their own.
Then make your own game, with your preference. Dont make someone else do it for you.
How do you unlock the last scene in version 0.4? I assume it's related to the truth and dare gamr
To get that scene, you need to choose all of the girls when you're asked by Ingrid, and you have to have enough affection points with every girl (Aurora 7+, Ingrid 8+, Sia 9+).
It's good game, great art, looking forward to more.
Thank you!
Hello. Any news on when the next update is coming?
Hi! The new update will be released this month.
IT is animated?
You mean does the game have animations? It does.
Yes.
The game is really good, a nice balance between the story and NSFW scenes.
This isn't really the place to ask, but I don't know where else I'd ask. I can't seem to get one gallery scene, 5th row, 3th column. Any help'd be appreciated!
Been trying for a while now, think i did all possible dialogue options that made sense and didnt get it either. Think its a bug at this point
For this scene to happen you have to:
1) not to tell your name to the hobo in Ep2;
2) have fun with Crystal in the backroom in Ep3
In that case, you will have the scene in Ep4Pt1.
Don't think that's the scene I'm referring to. It should be an Ep4 scene, the one after Aurora & Sia compare boobs. (5th row, 3th column)
My bad, I meant Ep4Pt1 in my last sentence. We both mean the same scene.
Thx!
Ik the dark type plots are very popular right now but bro, this made me creep out, like it's not raping, but still not far from it, and recording it too, I think you could have made it a less darker, some people (like me) get wierded or creeped out of things like this
I disagree. To each their own i guess.
You should enjoy your AVNs, but not all AVNs are for everyone. As a patron, I think it better to go with what I like, appreciate the effort that each Dev puts in his or her work, and I do not expect the Dev to change around my comfort levels. (For this reason, I do not watch Futa, for example.)
This project (Off the Record) is far from dark as a whole, It deals with real life issue of MC asking is "this all that there is", and "how do I know X is the one", among other issues. There is only one element/path that is slightly dark (SIA/Trixie/Club), and that path is FAR from rape (in fact multiple scenes/ dialogues go to great lengths to state that rape is not acceptable and that the MC cannot pursue that). Some scenes do include clever "mental intimidation", but none include rape.
It's just not fair to write a comment as you did. Imo. You might think this reply harsh on you, but, consider for a moment that such comments as yours can cause unmerited grief (from the hosting platform, other patrons, etc.) for a Developer.
Peace, Do you, and enjoy. let the Dev be him/her-self and be fair.
FUCKING GREAT GAME!!!!
The dialog is good, the characters are amazing, lovely and have depth to them. And I like the story, can't wait for the next update.
Fucking amazing work dude!
Thank you mate <3
Really great game so far! Keep up the good work and I am looking forward to more.
Why thank you!
I was enjoying it...until the club scene. That bullshit and blackmail shit completely killed the game for me.
Sorry for the delay, this update ended up a bit bigger than usual...
I give 99% that it will be available this week.
With Chelsea still being on the Girls Affection list I wonder if she'll end up making an appearance again at some point in the future.
I can't wait to see more, I'm really interested in seeing where things go in future updates
===== Spoilers below ======
Kinda sucks that what happens in the club is unavoidable. Was hoping my decision would make some difference there.
must ask if there is ntr or any big drama and if this can go harem rooute or not
There's no and won't be any NTR. There's one kind of dramatic moment in the very beginning starting things off, but overall it's not a make-you-sad kind of VN.
You can pursue almost every girl in the story, but there's no "harem" presented per se.
cool thanks and the drama i talk about is both sad and angry because i tend to get really pissed at characters in games and movies and so i avoid it
Great game so far! Keep up the good work! All lewd scenes are very well detailed and not rushed along with great position choices. Very interesting storyline so far too!
why thank you <3
How often are you going to be able to kick out updates? I know it takes time but I'm definitely intrigued in the storyline among other things lol.
I try to release updates every 1.5 months. So the next one should be available in mid-May.
I'll be looking forward to it! Played a lot of the games on here and so far this is in my top 5. Also will be signing up for your patreon to stay in loop. Lot of potential here!
Awesome! And thanks once again!
Love the game so far everything is well made.I hope that the future update will be more exciting that this
P.S.
The public link for the discord server doesn't have to invite me or something
Thank you! Hmm, all invite links seem to be active. Try this one? http://discord.gg/8rjwS73fqt
Thank you for the invite
This game is awesome man. Actually one of the best works I have seen here on itchio!!! Is the next update coming in 2 or 3 months?
Thank you, much appreciated!
Ep3 pt3 is available for patrons only on my Patreon page for now, but in a few days will go public. The next update should be in ~1.5 months.
the renders are so well made, and the world feels alive, not link other games that only focus on the protagonist and the girls and it looks like there's no one else on the earth, i really liked it, keep up the good job man!
Thanks mate! <3
hi just a note for is in feedback i have come across a large continuity error the second time with mi-sun when they are making out in the rest room the door open's in wards and even the first picture to the right show the error, but she say hold on the door ain't locked and the both fail out into the restroom the door opens outwards this would not happen because the hinges are on the inside on the inside and very little clearance between the door and the frame , for that to happen the hinges would have had to break or the wood to shatter to allow it to open outward i hope there is a easy fix like bother there weight pressed on the door popped the weak and short screw allowing the door to fail outwards !
but on a much more lighter and fun note am loving the V. N. and am playing it through with with mi-sun instead of the other route meeting he girl kicked out of the club and her comes home with you.
Many thanks, Mr GaTeZ.
Hey! Thanks for the note! I actually noticed this blunder as well... but forgot to do something about it lol. I'll point this moment out somehow in the next update.
tha'ts fine glad to be of some help in making it better for everyone !!!
Any update? Just finished it and it was GOOD!
Glad to hear! The next update will be in the second half of March.
Great stuff. High quality renders to match the quality of the story. Keep up the good work!
Thank you! Glad to hear!
