Sihai's Legacy
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
Though it sprung up as if from nowhere, Sihai Industries has quickly taken the world by storm, driven forward by its charismatic founder Long Shen. It has always existed since as long as you can remember- and now, you've been given the chance to begin work there... after you make your choice.
Will you work alongside the awkward boar who works alone in his lab? Perhaps the shifty tanuki cleaning the windows catches your eye... but you can't ignore the friendly bull whose cooking makes you drool, nor could you even begin to forget that hamster whose every waking moment is spent ogling the theme park or... well, hot dads.
You can't forget a certain someone who's handing the job to you, either. Though the whole world claims to know him, what is his story...?
What choices will you choose? What men will you woo? In the end, who- or what- will be your story?
...And what does a legacy mean to you?
Secrets about not only others, but yourself as well await you behind the grand doors of Sihai's lobby. Countless cute men to look at and more, encounters both meaningful and fun, mysteries upon mysteries- all of these will pave the way for your journey through Sihai's Legacy!
For further-updated versions of the game, check out my Patreon! By becoming a patron, you get access to 3 whole days per route. Employee tiers get access to a CG gallery and a sprite glossary, where they can toy with the sprites, see them in a more full image, and read up on certain details about the characters that may not be demonstrated by the game's main event.
All writing and music is done by myself, as is most of the art (With the exception of some backgrounds).
This game is very much a work in progress. Feel free to leave feedback, and I'll try and reply the best I can!
As an added note for clarification- there's 3 marks in the game-
: This leads to generally horny dialogue or a fruity ah scene. I mostly have it so that, if you want to avoid doing the horny options, then you can!
: Options with this on them give you a "Dad End" flag. Not every dad end is implemented at the moment, but there should be 3 of these choices per route.
(Currently, Dad Ends exist in Jehu and Paul's routes. Some routes actually reduce dad end points by being too friendly with or discouraging your date from being interested in Richard. Future dad ends will be implemented at a later date.)
: Options with the spinning gears are important. These options are very important for getting the true ending and will often steer the story in a different direction- sometimes largely, sometimes more subtly. Ordinarily I'd make the true endings not so obvious to get, but... you'll see!
Options that are in RED are warnings- whatever follows when you click on it is not going to be pretty. Be careful!
In addition to these, many options do actually set flags of their own so they can be referenced later. Sometimes picking the "horny" options sets a flag for a later sexy scene. Sometimes determining your preference will lead to a more tailored encounter later. Sometimes you get alternate dialogue based on what you've said and done earlier in the story.
(As an added note, if I did it correctly then your old saves likely no longer exist in this version of the game. This is by design, since any old saves would instantly break the game! Sorry about that /o\ )
Thank you for your time and attention, and enjoy!

i didn't think it would get any better but it did. Victory is mine Jehu is finally mine and i get to see other scenes HEHEHEHEHE
whoops
LMAO I finally got the pun!!!! I’m such a pothead! Edit: Enji is probably the best character I’ve seen thus far thanks for the laughs
The scene where Jehu and the MC “Get a snack”… I’ve never related to someone more than I do to Jehu in that moment 😔 those words he says about himself… I feel them way too deeply 😢
huh, I'm... not sure, actually. I'll try to look into that
(And thank you!)
Toma seems like a dangerous man.
...I want him. 😳
Loved the vn so far, my opinion about the characters were good some other or a hustler hated that part on my opinion, but i love alan he is such a generous man and a gentleman, literally I've fallen since he is so good to alex💘
The next update is gonna be delayed on account of birthday, broken keyboard, and a hurricane (relief, I wasn't actually hit by it but I spent days helping people recover). In order to keep things consistent, I'm moving the next update to December 1st. /o\ I'm very sorry!
It's okay! Take your time -- no need to rush! Focus on getting everything together. 😌
so... i think shen doesn't appear in club lilac anymore
Yeaaaa I goofed up and accidentally kicked him out of the club (poor shen)
He'll be back next time I upload a build \o/
This situation becomes even funnier if you remember some horny conversations from his route.
i can't seem to be able to unlock the new gloryhole secene T>T
If it helps, you can hit the "go again" button after seeing someone's GHole scene and skip through until you get the one you're looking for
ok jk I goofed up, I'm gonna re-upload soon with the build that actually contains the new gloryhole scene orz
Thanks a lot!
did something happen to the "dad ends"? for some reason i wasnt able to unlock any of them in my recent playthrough
At the moment they're only in Jehu and Paul's route, I want to add them retroactively to other routes, though
I started playing for the big bellies but stayed for the lore and especially Shen <3
Can't wait for the next update
You're so real for this. 🫡🫡🫡
Love this VN, very engaging with the amount of choices and really gets the gears working since it's far from being linear. Had to find every CG and could use more save slots since I had to save in every choice with how each one impacts the route. Also need it to look back on information.
Overall great vn, keep up the good work and thank you for making shen long, I wish to see more of him in the next few updates. My loverboy, my universe.
Thank you! C: So many Shen fans lately! It's so nice
Also can somebody tell me who tf the dragon was sleeping where we were sleeping and is he a paragon? Is he us? I CANT WAIT FOR THE UPDATES TO FIND OUT JUST WHO WE ARE REALLY AND WHAT THAT MARK MEANS
hi iglootheraptor, i was checking the sprite gallery, and notice this two details: on Barry's bio says that his eyes are blue (i think they are yellow), and also Icarus birthday is february 29th? (leap year).
you've made an amazing job on this update as allways... best of lucks.
-hugs-hugs-
edit: the story is starting to get really good so im reading everything
Yep! Both of those are true! And Barry isn't the only one to have somewhat contradictory information in the sprite gallery :3c
Hey so uh. I kinda accidentally overrode the save data folder location. To make it easier to upgrade and downgrade, though, I'll be keeping the new location consistent. That said, depending on which of these you're running...
Windows:
%APPDATA\RenPy\ "SihaiDatingSim[FREE/INTERN]-1561917752"
Macintosh:
$HOME/Library/RenPy/"SihaiDatingSim[FREE/INTERN]-1561917752"
Linux:
$HOME/.renpy/"SihaiDatingSim[FREE/INTERN]-1561917752"
Find that folder and move its contents into the
"SihaiDatingSimR-1561917752" folder
If you do that, you should have your saves from the last version intact.
I apologize for the inconvenience, this sort of thing won't happen again :x
Me he preguntado,cada ruta me puedes decir¿cuánto días serían en total o aproximado?
Tengo esa curiosidad,nosé si en futuro agregaras más digamos como la Paul que llego hasta el día 17 y que está en la última versión, según ustedes cuando sería el fin de su ruta.
Si no quieres decirlo no hay problema me gusta este juego estoy tratando de armar, como una cronología con todo las rutas de que se divide la historia y con los pequeños detalles que hay en cada una.
Gracias por traernos este juego 👍♥️
Each route ends on the 31st!
Paul better watch that fat ass if he's gonna keep showin it off...
Good - now I got that out of my system: really cool vn. Always love finding ones with fun energy that somehow managed to fly under my radar. I'll certainly be keeping an eye out for it now. Cheers!
I think Paul is too busy watching some other fat ass.
Thank you! :>
I just recently came across this VM and I have to say I really like it, especially the different emotions each character has especially jehu's, every single facial expression shows his personality very well especially how shy he is~
and jehu is also my favorite he would really be a perfect father and I wish he was even bigger~ ^^
Thank you! I agree that he'd be an awesome dad, as I would love to bear his kids. But that's just me :]c
Just finished Shen's route, but I'm a bit confused. Does the route only end on July 16th? Or did I make a mistake in choosing the option?
in the free version, Shen's and Jorge's routes end on July 16th at the moment. Jehu's, Paul's, and Alan's all end on the 17th. Next update will feature Shen's July 17th, then Jorge's July 17th. After that, I'll move on to the 18th for each route!
(The patreon build follows the same update structure, but with an extra three days per route. So, instead of currently ending on the 16th, it ends on the 19th!)
Love the update cant wait for more
ahhhhh this is my favorite vn oat! been following along for so long and everything has been so phenomenal! the relaunch only made things better than they already were! thank you for doing what youve done and thank you for this game!! :DD
Thank you! :D I'm glad to hear it!
I find this game to be an interesting mix of flippantness and esoterica pertaining to playing with perception (as either psychological or philosophical slants). In other words, to the viewpoint of the character, what's the difference between their own personal perception being altered manually, or reality being rewritten on a whim? (It's like it's a simulation, but I never go all in on a theory to keep the mystery interesting from the reader POV).
Oddly, I started playing this game on July 8th (today here), and thought it based the starting date on your computer's clock, which would have been interesting, but nothing wrong with that.
But also, and most importantly, the foreskins are beautiful, especially Jehu's!
the duality of that first paragraph and jehu's foreskin
truly, this is the epitome of Sihai
(And thank you!)
Is there any chance where we can date Shen? Because if there is I'm really looking forward for it!
Might consider checking their patreon then, every route has 3 more days there.
Shen is one of the 5 dateables yea :]
Do you have any plans for Alan and Jorge dads (Aquilo and Barry)? I'm in love with those two ☺️, ... Sr You have made an amazing work. The Best of lucks
As routes no, but I do have plans (and ideas that could become plans) for those two and more- like Rob too! Boy howdy do I love me some dads
(There's a rather specific reason why these 5 are getting routes and why I can't just add in other characters willy-nilly. You'll have to wait and see why that is, though!)
And thank you for your kind words!
"Boy howdy do I love me some dads"
Truer words were never spoken.
It'd be so cool if characters would sometimes appear next to mc on the main screen, kinda like they did on the old one.
i have plans for the main menu screen :] huehehe
Куда дели моего любимого белого медведя из прошлой сборки?(
Айзек это персонаж его друга если я правильно помню, так что из основного сюжета его решили убрать. Но, согласно словам разработчика, он должен будет позже появиться в Клубе Сирени.
Xou’ve done an EXCELLENT job with reimagining all the characters, but especially Jorge. He’s a welcomed change! 😁 His new species fits his personality in a way that his previous avian form seemed to lack in
And I really like anal- er, I mean… I really like Alan! 😏 He went from being my 2nd favourite to my best boy! 😋 Xou’ve put a lot of work into bringing the cast to life and it really shows
One thing I’d like to see is for the saves to have dates or times for when they were created. I kinda go crazy on save files and it’s a little hard to see which was last made in each route
I’d also like to applaud the decision to make the MC a fixed character. It was a really great idea getting to choose pronouns, and even more original being able to alter his appearance, but he feels more authentic without these options 😊
And one last thing… I’m loooving the story! 😁 Like, all these little hints about what’s REALLY going on and all the mystery, it’s just so enthralling~ 😌 I’m super excited to see where this story goes. Thank xou for all xour hard work on redoing this VN 💜
thank you so much!! It was a lot of work and then some in order to get it all put together, so it’s really nice to hear this!
When is the next update coming?? Me super excited
it’ll be a little bit, I can’t really start work on it until next month (currently abroad and I don’t get back until the end of this month)
Excluding this upcoming month, I’m going to shoot for a new update on the first of every month for now, starting on August 1st! Sorry for the small delay after all this time /o\
whats a dad end?
well, Richard is very charming and many of the boys think so too, so… a dad end is what happens if you let that flame grow :-) (…often at MC’s expense)
Is there a route thats already complete?
nope, all routes are being progressed on more or less equally. Under the patreon build, each route goes the same number of days past what’s in the free version (i want to say 3 days each)
loved the update, when will be the next?
i’m shooting for August 1st! I haven’t had any time to work on the next update due to being abroad atm
lomg shen is Chinese pinyin? If yes, does that mean you speak Chinese? We need Chinese!! I had to play through a translator, which was too difficult for me as my English was very poor. So I'm really looking forward to Chinese
i would LOVE to see Sihai translated, and especially into Chinese given how many characters are either chinese or have some sort of relation to China.
I myself only speak a small amount of mandarin unfortunately :x i couldn’t hope to learn and translate everything, especially with how much I already have to do.
So in the end, I’ll say- yeah, one day Sihai will get a translation. It’ll probably be when the game is finished, though, so it’ll be a long time until that gets made /o\
Thank you for your reply, I like your game very much, please come on, I believe in you (ૢ˃ꌂ˂⁎)
Not exactly a spoiler, but don't read before playing.
It might be a stretch, but it feels like marking bearers have died in the past and markings are just convincing bearers and world around them that it didn't happen.
I'm so happy I could cry and the best part you posted the update after my graduation best day ever 😭😭😭😭
congrats!!
YOUR AMAZING YAAAYYY 😭😭😂😂😄😄😄😄
thank you!!
OMG thank you so much for the update
I'm so happy
no problem o7
I'm loving this new update, though I must ask, will we be possibly getting Dad added to Club Lilac? I remember him being in the last build in the bathroom
He'll be added at a later date, yeah! The MC will, too, now that he's separated from the club lilac shenanigans.
In addition to those, every (bedonked) character will show up there to have a bit of fun, including some guest characters! For example, Isaac (a guest character of one of my friends) might have been removed from the overall plot, but he'll still show up at Club Lilac as a cameo.
(With the guest characters' owner's permission, of course)
Awesome! I really wanted to see more of the dad, so I can't wait for that.
Someone have obtain the "Dad End" with Paul ? Even taking all the "dad" choices and being the meanest I didn't manage to get it.
Let's see
July 13th - "Act Incredulously" -> "Ask him to elaborate" - "Not Really" (+1)
July 14th - "No, what?" (+1)
July 16th - "Deny it" (+1)
Make sure you don't say "You asked me on a date!" on July 15th and you'll get the dad end in just a bit!
(I forgot to put extra dad end markers on the 13th, but lowkey I kinda like that it's a little hidden? But I'm undecided. Maybe I'll leave it not super obvious, but whip up a guide at some point that shows the way)
Okay thank you !
I miss the birb.
