Overview
In My Element is a 3D dating sim for players who want a fantasy harem story with a horror undercurrent. The tone mixes school-life warmth with an uneasy sense that something is wrong beneath the surface.
Story
Max has just enrolled at Aether Academy, a school for magic, though he has no memory of applying. Tuition is free and all his closest friends were accepted alongside him, a coincidence that feels less coincidental the longer he stays. As he settles into academy life, he starts uncovering secrets about the school and the city he grew up in, pulling him toward a conspiracy tied to his own identity and origins.
Gameplay
Play unfolds as a mix of slice-of-life school scenes and dating-sim choices, as Max spends time with the people around him and builds closer bonds with the women in his circle. Alongside the romance, the player follows mystery threads tied to the academy and city, gradually piecing together what is really going on. Progress comes from balancing daily academy life with the pull of the darker plot underneath it.
Features

Changelog
v0.2
- Added a Love Stat link to the bottom menu on the game page. This gives total love points for each of the potential main girls! Since mods add this feature to games sometimes I thought I would save people the trouble and just have it baked in.
- There are 3 total fonts to choose from now! Thunderman(the one I had in version 0.1), Prata and Lora. The last two are straightforward and easy to read.
- The amount of content should be more than doubled from 0.1.
- To give people some idea of what to expect in the future there 6-8 main girls, depending on your choices. You are somewhat free to sample the buffet with the girls as the story progresses and you will be asked to make a final decision about who you want to be with near the end. There will be solo love endings with your favorite girl or you can go the harem route. There will be several variations on harem endings but doing every single combination is beyond the scope of what I want to try for my first AVN. I'll try to pick the ones that would make the most sense story wise however. Whether you want to pursue certain girls or not they will remain around you in a friendship capacity at least in order to fit the story.
- I have included love points for girls when you spend time with them. If you don't want to spend time with a girl or have a scene with her just ignore the option to spend time with her when selections come up. The requirements for having an ending with a girl or the harem will be point based but the requirements will not be very steep. If you want the harem ending then spend a least a little time with each girl so you have some history and romantic connection with each girl. If you want an ending with one girl you can ignore the other girls for the most part although it wont hurt if you want to see other girls scenes along the way, as long as you have enough with your main girl.
- I'll probably add a gallery in the next update or two as well.
About tags:
- No ntr (unless it was some scenario where MC takes someone else's girl but I don't see that being a scenario at the moment, and nobody except MC will ever touch his own girls)
- Female Domination/Male domination: Some people were concerned about this so I'll tell you my plans. This is mostly a romance based game and I just added those tags to be thorough even though what will be in here probably barely qualifies for the tag. There will be a couple girls who will take the lead a bit more in the bedroom but it will always have a feel of MC and the LI having strong feelings for each other and I want all the sex scenes to feel romance based. So this is more of a "girl taking the lead" scenario. There will never be anything extreme like strap-ons, stepping on balls or any of that stuff.
- MC is the only guy in the game that's having sex.
- There will be some recurring side girls and one-time girls that you can have some fun with.
- There is a file in the main folder that has a list of all the royalty free music and sound effects I used and links to where I found them.
