Unlike Me

About Unlike Me

Evelyn's settled life provides the starting point for this adult visual novel by VdY. Her phone is the entire frame for the story, bringing family conversations, friendships and unfamiliar contacts into view. Choices influence her words, actions and trust as she considers moving beyond established habits.

The interactive phone includes messaging, a photo library, a bank app and a music player with 10 tracks. An in-game social feed adds profiles, posts, comments and stories to the narrative. These different screens let you follow Evelyn through both direct conversations and the material shared around her.

Version 0.2 adds more than 2,500 messages and introduces Android support alongside Windows and macOS. It also supplies unread message counters, revised calendar alerts and the ability to save images from direct messages and stories into the phone's Photos app. Interface fixes accompany these additions.

Built in Godot and available in English, Unlike Me remains in development, with version 0.2 identified as its second public release. Existing practical features include saving and loading, daily autosaves, audio controls and display modes. Further story and phone interactions are plans, not a finished content list.

A closer look

Unlike Me places a familiar personal device at the centre of its storytelling: every part of Evelyn's life that the player encounters is presented through her smartphone. She is a 37-year-old wife and mother whose established routine begins to change as new contacts and experiences enter the picture. Conversations with family and friends sit alongside these newer connections, giving the premise a social context rather than isolating her from her existing life. The official description makes choices part of that development, including what Evelyn says, how she acts and whom she trusts or grows close to. The central question is how those decisions alter her sense of herself. This is an adult relationship narrative framed around curiosity, personal boundaries and the consequences of ordinary decisions.

The phone format gives the narrative several distinct ways to present information. Direct conversations carry exchanges between Evelyn and her contacts, while the in-game social app includes a feed, profiles, posts, stories, comments, likes and followers. Posts and stories are integrated into the narrative rather than described only as decorative screens. A Photos app provides another place to view images, and the wider interface includes a functional banking app and a music player containing 10 tracks. Together, these apps make the device the setting for interaction as well as the means of reading the story. Moving between conversations and shared material exposes different sides of Evelyn's social life, with both individual exchanges and feed-based updates contributing to the presentation.

The documented release history shows how the phone interface has expanded alongside the written material. The initial version contained more than 1,500 messages across its messaging and direct-message functions; version 0.2 lists over 2,500 new messages. The second release also adds unread counters, providing a visible indication of conversations with unseen content. Images received in direct messages or displayed in stories can now be saved into the in-game Photos app, linking those parts of the device more closely. Calendar notifications receive sound and visual improvements, while broader interface adjustments and bug fixes accompany the content update. These additions develop the same phone-centred format, combining more conversations with tools for keeping track of incoming material.

Unlike Me is a Godot project by solo developer VdY, with English listed as its language and version 0.2 described as the second public release. Windows and macOS support appeared in the initial release, followed by Android in the second. Practical controls already documented include a save/load system, daily autosaves, settings and audio adjustment. The release notes also list windowed, borderless and fullscreen display modes, giving desktop presentation options alongside the simulated phone layout. The project remains ongoing: the developer intends to extend Evelyn's story, relationships and interactions with the device in later updates. Those intentions describe the direction of development, while the existing releases establish the apps, conversations and interface tools currently documented.

Installation & requirements

For an archive distribution, extract the archive before opening the game. If macOS blocks a trusted copy, review System Settings → Privacy & Security to allow it. On Android, use the APK package. The supplied update instructions say to install the new APK over the existing version rather than uninstalling first to retain save data; they do not establish compatibility for every package.

Windows, macOS and Android; English language.

Minimum operating-system versions, hardware specifications and storage requirements are not provided.

Before updating, back up your saves and read the developer’s release notes. Save compatibility is not guaranteed unless the developer confirms it for your version.
