Hello everyone! We’re incredibly grateful for all your support and tough love throughout AI2U’s development journey these past three years! We've Sold Over 100,000 Copies Across All Platforms! ːcatgirlsmirkːThank you all for being our 🔑key🗝️ players in making this one-of-a-kind game as delightfully unhinged as it’s grown to be! As a little celebration, we’ve launched a FREE DLC! ! ! ːcatgirlloveːRemember Yandere AI Girlfriend Simulator? It's the early prototype of AI2U from 2023! It’s back with an updated version, now running 100% locally on your own PC! Available NOW! No internet connection, no API keys, no cloud servers, and no usage fees. Just you and catgirl, together until the end of the world~ :3This is still an experimental release! While local LLMs and TTS have come a long way, they still have some limitations. We’ve been gradually seeing promising progress for these technologies over the past few months, and wanted to share this experiment with you! For running this DLC as Local AI requires a certain amount of VRAM, it should be about 4GB VRAM for LLM only OR 10GB VRAM for both LLM and TTSYou can adjust the settings in the DLC to better suit your PC's hardware! This is where AI2U began, and we hope you’ll have fun revisiting this little piece of our history. Good luck getting her to open the door! 💕

AI2U: With You 'Til The End Exits Early Access with Version 1.0
What changed
Published on 12 August 2026, the Version 1.0 launch of AI2U: With You 'Til The End marks the game's formal exit from Early Access — more than three years after its origins as what the developer describes as "a strange little gameplay experiment."
According to the announcement, the scope of the game expanded considerably over that period. What began as one apartment and one character grew to include:
Additional locations: a Witch's Cabin, a Drifting Spaceship, a Siren's island, the Atrium, and a Final Level
Anomalies and phone calls
Multiple endings
New interactions: kisses, hugs, and gifts
Personality tags, songs, and secrets
A cast of characters including Eddie, Elysia, Estelle, and Eiona
The announcement, authored by DGSpitzer, credits the community extensively — noting contributions ranging from alpha testing and translation work to mods, fan art, guides, wikis, and bug reports.
The post does not detail specific mechanical changes introduced at 1.0, nor does it list pricing, a changelog, or new features exclusive to this build. The tone is retrospective and valedictory rather than technical.
For players who followed the project through Early Access, the 1.0 release represents the formal close of an iterative development period that, by the developer's own account, neither they nor the community could fully anticipate at the outset.
