No One But You
No One But You is a Visual Novel/Dating Sim about Hideaki, a high school student who has just returned to his hometown, Okutama.
Upon returning, Hideaki re-discovers a town he knew from childhood, meeting new friends and reuniting with those he had long forgotten. He resumes his high school life in the big city, quickly adapting to the change in pace, and before he knows it, Hideaki begins to think of this city as his home once more.
Hideaki’s life in Okutama is upbeat and fun, thanks to the many friends he makes, including Megumi, an energetic student council member; Chinatsu, a reserved senior in the literature club; Shiro, an unsociable music-lover; and Yui, an obstinate girl who rarely expresses herself honestly.
Surrounded by an interesting group of friends, Hideaki lives out his days without a care in the world, content to enjoy a normal high school life. Whether he’s going out with friends or studying for exams, his new life is truly peaceful.
But not for long.
As Hideaki’s stay in Okutama continues, ghosts from his past begin to come back, increasingly intruding on the new life he’s trying to build. As if that wasn’t bad enough, his new friends all have secrets of their own, and the more Hideaki involves himself with their daily lives, the deeper into mutual despair he sinks.
Will you be able to put to rest the evils of the past and finally live out the normal high school life you crave? Will you be able to put your friends’ minds at ease, erasing the trauma and misery ruining their otherwise peaceful lives?
Because whether you like it or not, for this very task it can be no one but you.

I received a free copy of the game as a curator connect offer in my Steam group Visual novel, JRPG, Anime, and bought the DLC with my own money. My playtime is shorter in this game as I skipped the entire story in the main game after reading through the 2016 version for 5 hours to see if the achievements are working, and the problems with unlocking the extra content are fixed.
No One But You is independent team Unwonted Studios' visual novel that is released in Steam in 2016, then removed and re-released sometime in 2020. The game features a male high school student Hideaki Naito who recently moved back to his hometown of Okutama where he may form a special relationship with one of his classmates (Chinatsu, Megumi, Shiro, Yui or Ryo), each with a troubled background, and the chance to ease their heart.
Summary
Short (<10 h playtime) romance, school drama, and supernatural visual novel with 5 routes, 9 endings as a re-release of the 2016 version. The No One But Us DLC adds two alternative routes (Chinatsu and Megumi with 2 more to be released in the future) and 4 endings. Uncensored patch available at developer's website, adding one straight H-scene near the end of three routes each, although there are no significant plot holes if the patch is not applied.
2016 and 2020 versions
I had trouble unlocking some BGMs and one of the heroine's after story in the 2016 version. They have been addressed in the 2020 version, although the limited Steam profile features preventing a player from showcasing the game or achievements on their profile might reduce its appeal, more so for players who owned the 2016 version that has normal Steam profile features.
DLC
I am glad to see the developer recently add alternative storylines and better endings for the love interests as I generally like happy endings in romance visual novels. It took me around 2 hours to read through both routes and see all the endings.
Overall thoughts
A good read with varied character personalities that saw me rooting for the MC in pursuing his chosen love interest, and healing their heart. With that said, I would have preferred the developer to continue support for the 2016 version and adding DLC(s) to it which has full Steam profile features to showcase on Steam profile. Hence, I recommend buying the main game with DLC at a discount to players who haven't read the 2016 version before, those who are interested to see the new routes in the DLC and to support the developer in producing additional visual novels with engaging storylines.
Pros
- Good BGM, artwork and engaging story
- Issues with unlocking extra content in 2016 version are fixed
- DLC adds a good ending
Cons
- Limited Steam profile features
- A little short to justify buying at full price

i loved this game get it for sure
i say that in a lot more words on my review for the dlc if you wan to read all that here it is ----
i want to say that i am no writer just a man who enjoys VNs but this game is one of the most beautiful piece of art i have gotten the honor of seeing it has done something no other VN has, brought me to tears. I enjoyed it when i played the base game and my only complaint was that there was not more content and like a angel sent from above you have delivered me a miracle i never thought i would see, more content for a game that's a decade old. I have high hopes that the rest of the content promised will be as high quality as the base game and the new route. now i might be wrong but there was no new CGs or BG for this and yes i would have loved some i can live with that if its the difference between new content and not i would happily take it, i understand how expensive art is i hope that you can flesh out this beautiful universe and maybe even make a 2nd game someday. you have made a lifelong fan of your company i will probably buy your other games someday and hope you keep making content.
Sorry for the crazy person rant and all the spelling and grammar mistakes that are probably in here i just really love this game (obviously look at all that text) and hope it gets the popularity it deserves
PS you make a Kickstarter for a second game ill definitely help out
