Evaluation
The Warmth Between Us is a self-contained visual novel released on May 15, 2020 by solo indie developer "Nine." The store page describes a fixed, finished package: a 60,000-word story with 6+ hours of gameplay and over 10 CG artworks. There is no DLC, no season pass, and no roadmap for additional content.
The only developer news post of substance was a pre-launch announcement on April 19, 2020 confirming the May 15 release date. It also noted that an English localization was planned — but given the game launched in English and has been available as such since May 2020, that localization work was completed as part of the initial release. The remaining news posts are sales and discounts, carrying no development signal.
The developer's note on the store page expresses a personal aspiration to "continue to create more stories," but this is a general creative statement about future projects — not a commitment to add content to this specific game. With no post-launch updates, no announced DLC, and no developer communications suggesting ongoing work on this title since its May 2020 release, the game launched as a complete, finished product.

About this game
Story Background
It is late December in Taipei.The pavement glows like silver under the bone-chilling winter rain.
With the coming of the New Year, we met for the first time.
Our beginning was nothing special. It was ordinary, yet, so unaccounted for.
However, I couldn’t help but let myself drown in this warm but distant vibe.
Her shadow, her every move and sensation piques my curiosity.
The warmth between us has a certain comfort that I’ve never felt before…
About The Game
- A visual novel containing 60,000 words, with 6 hours of gameplay.
- 10+ beautifully-illustrated CG artwork
This is a story about the warmth between people.
It was a simple act that brought us together but became a life-defining moment, affecting the choices we make.
Our relationship cannot be described as friendship or love. Rather, it is built upon the support and warmth we share with each other.
It is...a simple act of intuition.
From the Developer
Hi, I’m Nine, an indie game developer from Taiwan.I’m slowly but steadily realizing my dream by creating more and more stories.
Along the way, there have been many obstacles,
and I’ve become confused by the road ahead of me.
However, that is why I can feel the warmth radiating from the people who have supported and helped me along the way.
That’s why I want to share these emotions with everyone.
I will continue to create more stories about ‘warmth’.
I hope that they can resonate with you.
If I’m able to do so, then I have fulfilled my purpose.
Are these done yet?
