Overview

Yi Wai is a short visual novel that begins with something ordinary: classrooms, hallways, and after-school conversations. You spend time with a girl, and the days feel like a normal school life at first. Then the small oddities start to surface. Words that sound strangely familiar, reactions that arrive a beat too soon, and things she seems to remember that you have no memory of at all. What starts as a gentle romance slowly turns into a story about memory itself.

The game is developed and published by 奈貓 and sits in the Adventure and Indie categories, with Steam user tags pointing toward visual novel, story-rich, detective, and 2D presentation. It released on November 9, 2026, and currently lists Traditional Chinese as its supported language.

Highlights

  • A short visual novel that blends school romance with a mystery built around memory and recollection.
  • A MARK system lets you record lines during certain conversations, keeping track of moments that intrigue you as the story unfolds.
  • Reading, choices, and record-keeping work together, so paying attention to dialogue becomes part of how you grow closer to her.

Who It's For

This one is aimed at readers who enjoy quiet, character-driven stories and don't mind a slow build toward unease. If you like visual novels where the mystery lives in the details of conversation rather than in action set pieces, the premise should appeal. The short length also makes it easy to finish in a sitting or two. Players who prefer Traditional Chinese will find the text available in that language, and the single-player structure keeps the focus on your own reading pace.
