About this game
Trapped in an Evolving Death Game, he chooses to rebel.
You awaken in a mysterious luxury bar, the Golden Jack, alongside nine strangers, and are forced to play a game by The Owner. Each player represents one of the game's rules. You can disobey your own rule, and that rule will disappear if you die. Only three players can survive...unless you find another way.
Beyond R: Rule Ripper is a visual novel with some light gameplay elements, inspired by series such as Zero Escape, Danganronpa, and Ace Attorney, as well as anime like Death Parade and Kaiji. Mixing suspense, drama, and mystery, with a seasoning of comedy.
Defy the death game by gaining the trust of its players and confronting them in the game's Councils, a face-off between all players where anyone can kill through a vote. Can you tame this wild variety of players before it's too late or will the pressure of death drown you?
Make your voice heard and prevent the discussion from falling into chaos through an imagined game of pool. When do you strike and who?
Featuring...
About 30 hours of story content with 25 different endings along the way to the True End.
A diverse cast of 10 strangers whose lives you’ll need to unravel in order to survive, like hotheaded Poker, eccentric wordsmith Lime, grumpy yet humorous Vodka, and cold Coffee.
Character profiles and the in-story interactive BARMAN, a tablet holding all the rules and ways to interact with the game, both updating as you play.
A jazzy soundtrack with more than 25 unique songs, 40+ in total.
Perhaps something hiding beyond...

Summer ends, but the death game doesn't. We have another 10-day sale 30% off starting now!The game is about to hit 400 sales! Still a humble number, but I'm proud of how far it has come without a publisher or any sort of marketing agency. Let's see how far it can go!I swear the start date is a coincidence, I just wanted to start it on a Friday...Read full article on Community Announcements (Tohriv)AnnouncementsOfficial
Streamer mode added
Hello! The game has been updated with a new special setting for streamers and content creators, plus miscellaneous fixes.If you're a content creator interested in playing the game, first of all, thank you! But second, you should know that although the handful of non-original songs in the game are copyright free, I've been notified by a few people that some are flagged for demonetization. If you want to avoid that, you can now turn on Streamer mode at the very bottom of the settings page, in the Audio section. This will replace the five songs that have been hit. Don't worry, there are still nine songs available in the Jukebox.If any of the other songs give you any trouble, please contact me through here, social media, or the Discord server and I'll add them to the banned list!For everyone else, the other changes are small. Basically, I'm still polishing the game to fix every bug and typo I can! And an important content update is on its way, before the end of the year!Read full article on Community Announcements (Tohriv)AnnouncementsOfficial
Summer sale returns!
Hello! The summer sale last month went very well, thanks to everyone who bought the game and spread the word!But summer isn't over yet, so it's time for a second round.

End of sale update
Hello! The sale has ended. Thanks to everyone who bought the game, I hope you enjoy it!Although there wasn't an update planned, there were some errors found on one of the post-game extras that needed to be fixed ASAP. Music was missing for two sections and character expressions were set incorrectly in one section, among other more minor issues. Though they had somehow gone unnoticed until now, or at least unreported, I'm sorry.Besides that, this update also introduces one coding change to the Jukebox system to improve performance. This should reduce load times in some scenes and reduce memory use at the low cost of some songs taking an extra half a second to load.My testing hasn't found any issues, but if you find any, or any other bug, please report them in the Steam forum or our Discord server, I'll respond as soon as I see them!Read full article on Community Announcements (Tohriv)AnnouncementsOfficial
