The Programmer

Your first year at university. A world of new possibilities. And an AI that might change everything.

The Programmer is an adult visual novel blending college life, romance, comedy, and science fiction, with a story centered around relationships, personal growth, and the unexpected consequences of advanced artificial intelligence.

THE STORY

Meet Scott, a brilliant but socially inexperienced computer science student starting a new chapter of his life at university.

While most students are worried about classes, friendships, and finding their place, Scott has something rather unusual up his sleeve.

Astra.

An advanced artificial intelligence of his own creation, integrated into a pair of smart glasses. Intelligent, resourceful, and always ready to offer advice, Astra might just be the ultimate companion for navigating university life.

But even with an extraordinary AI by his side, understanding people—especially when romance gets involved—isn't quite as simple as writing code.

As Scott reconnects with familiar faces and meets new people, he'll discover that university life has plenty of surprises waiting for him.

And perhaps Astra has a few surprises of its own...
