VN Ren'Py Just Bros

The Final Hours at Alderic Mansion First of all, I’m really sorry for the wait. This was probably one of the most taxing updates I’ve worked on so far. One thing about the different arcs in Just Bros is that they let me experiment with different storytelling styles, tones, and presentation. They give me room to take risks and try out new ways to tell the story—and I think this update reflects that quite a bit. I’m honestly not sure whether it’ll be a hit or miss for everyone, but I genuinely did my best to create something that feels fresh, different, and memorable. Since this is the closing part of the supernatural arc, I felt like I really had to lean into the weirdness, chaos, and wackiness of it all. That said, this update is also very story-focused. It wraps up a lot of lingering questions and plot threads you may have had, while also pushing forward some very important story progression for a certain character. I’m also trying to put more emphasis on depth, especially when it comes to the main romance routes, so things will naturally begin progressing beyond just surface-level crushes and attraction. After this arc, Just Bros will be returning to more grounded storylines again, so this update is very much the final big supernatural detour before things settle back into the more character-driven, everyday drama and romance. I really can’t wait for you all to experience the final stretch of the Alderic Mansion arc. Important Notes The final part of this chapter is not part of the fun event but requires very high affection to view. For this update, the affection requirement for this part has been greatly reduced so more players can access it. This will revert back to normal in the next update, so take this as a temporary accessibility adjustment for now. UI Changes A few small UI improvements have also been added: Week / Day and your Money ($$$) will now be displayed during gameplay The relationship status screen is revamped Music credits will now appear at the bottom-right of the screen. Please Note The Chapter 29 minigames will be reworked in the future. For now, the Counting Bibs minigame has been completely removed as a temporary fix. The entire sequence in Chapter 29 will be remade eventually, including both Minigame 1 and Minigame 2.

Hi everyone! The January 2026 VN update is finally here and live! Entering Alderic Estate This chapter follows the boys as they finally step into the Alderic's compound… but things don’t go as planned ( duh... ) and things start to go realll bad (as they do duhh) A Quick Heads-Up: Minigames This chapter includes minigames, and I want to apologize in advance if they feel challenging. They require visual accuracy, which can be especially tough on mobile, and even on PC they may take a few tries. Please take your time (or you can use the guide). About the Supernatural Direction (No Spoilers) I usually avoid addressing things relating to spoilers, but I feel this is worth clarifying early. This remake does introduce more supernatural elements. This opens up a lot of creative possibilities, new events, unusual situations, genre-mixing, and yes… fun scenarios for the MC That said, Just Bros is still first and foremost a grounded story. The core themes remain rooted in realistic issues, emotions, and relationships. Most of the main romances do not permanently cross that boundary. Even when things do cross over (especially in this arc), the story will return to its status quo. ( I’ll leave the details to the arc itself so you can experience how that unfolds ) 2026-01-09 Added Bonus Episode

Chapter 30 I’ve been working on fixing bugs, recoding chunk of messy badly written codes, and polishing some things for Just Bros VN this month. First off, I want to apologize for the delay—the upcoming update will now be released tomorrow. For anyone subscribed this month but not planning to renew next month, don’t worry! You can still request access to the VN once it’s live. Now for the proper news: Just Bros is getting a slight overhaul, starting with new added screens: Relationship and Stats status screen You’ll no longer need to slowly click through the message box to check your stats. A new screen will appear at the end of each chapter, allowing you to easily view all the points you’ve accumulated. Letting you see stats only at the end of the chapter is designed so you can't keep checking what increases after each dialogue option, especially when backing up during events is still allowed. This feature still allows you to replay a chapter if you realize you've lost points with characters you really like and want to try again. This should give you more control over your decisions without the need for endless backtracking Hopefully now it is clearer and easier to view the progress you have done Chapter and Day Announcement Another small changes is adding screens for Chapter and Day Announcement. So you know exactly when the event is taking place Helpful hints All information and hints will also be transferred to Screens Remember the mess that is in the Treasure Hunt Arc? All clues will now display nicely and neatly on screens for easy viewing instead of scrolling through text box one by one. It will make the Treasure Hunt Arc and much more enjoyable experience. The upcoming update also includes some minor fixes, such as addressing issues with receiving more than two blue tickets and ensuring certain scenes trigger properly. Unfortunately, I didn't keep track of every fix as I was making them throughout the month, so I can't provide a full list. When do the changes take effect? The changes has been implemented starting from chapters 1 and 8, as well as the latest chapter 29 and the upcoming chapter 30. So you can safely continue from where you end to the upcoming chapter 30 with no issue. The older chapters will be updated gradually over the next update or two. If you're continuing from the latest update, the changes should not affect your save file. To be on the safe side, it's recommended to either load from the latest update or start fresh from the beginning. Loading saves from chapters in between may cause errors before they are updated.
