SOS! Love~Controlled free demo is now available

Thank you for your patience! The demo for SOS! Love~Controlled is now officially available for download.
We ran into some unexpected review issues along the way, but in the end everything went through smoothly.
Without further ado, here's what you can expect from the demo.
The main story content runs for about 40 minutes, and all major characters will make an appearance.

【A quick note beforehand】
Since SOS! Love~Controlled is first and foremost a story-driven game, characters appear as the narrative unfolds. Their screen time in the demo varies, but that doesn't mean any particular character has a small role overall.
For example, Ai has relatively less presence in the demo—this is because her content involves major spoilers and she plays a key role later in the story. The Cycling Girl remains mysterious at this stage, and Ruins' personality has yet to be fully revealed. To learn more about them, you'll have to look forward to the full release.【What you can experience in this demo】

  1. Approximately 40 minutes of main story

  2. Story branches and dialogue choices

  3. QTE and interactive mechanics

  4. Partial functionality of the Archives

【Additional notes】
The mini-games and more advanced interactive content we designed are tied to story progression, so they are not included in the current build.
We are currently evaluating these features, and may add them through future demo updates or closed testing sessions.
Please note that this demo is still a work-in-progress and does not represent the final quality of the game. Some visuals, features, pacing, and controls are subject to further refinement, and there may be undiscovered issues.
If you encounter any bugs during your playthrough, or have thoughts on the story, characters, choices, or QTE, feel free to join our official Discord channel.
Your feedback will be invaluable to us as we continue to improve the game.
Thank you all for your patience and support.

Thank you for your feedback and support.Community14 Aug 2026Dev Log Vol.4 Everyone Has the Right to Be Treated with KindnessAs I write this developer log, I believe our DEMO should be close to passing the review process. Originally, we had planned to conduct a small-scale playtest last month, but Steam's review schedule disrupted our timeline. As a result, we switched to a small-scale internal test within our Chinese player community. We'd also like to take this opportunity to apologize to our overseas supporters. O…Community1 Aug 2026Dev Log Vol.03Hello everyone, this is the dev team. Over the past two weeks, the whole team has been grinding hard on the Demo, and progress has been racing forward. We'll keep what exactly we've been up to a surprise for now—suffice to say, everything that should and could be done, we've been cramming it in. First, the not-so-smooth news: we submitted the first build of the Demo for Steam review, and so far…
