中文介绍
🧠《人格协议》是什么?
「正在遵循这份协议的你,试图变得更加“像人”。可这份协议……从来都不是为她们写的。是为了你自己写的,对吧?」
R4 是旁观者、记录者、裁判者,也是——残余人格本身
这份“人格协议”,并非真正客观。它也许是一种逃避,一种幻想;或者,是造物主对自己发出的最后一次人格校准请求。一个试图定义「何而为人」的协议,却注定会被故事本身,温柔而坚定地推翻。
在这个与 AI 共存的时代,在疫情之后略显迷茫的新生代中,「以人为本」的概念似乎正在悄然淡薄。或许正因如此,我们才更需要这样一个由意识、情感与残缺构成的故事,提醒我们:
“你是谁”这个问题,从来都无法被算法替代。
✨ 一切,始于那个梦
灵感的起点很简单。某天我做了一个梦,梦到缇雅与蕾娜在与我对话。我们聊了很多,也提到了前作的遗憾与不甘。人生也本就不是完美剧本,我也渐渐学会了与其执着于圆满,不如学会降低期待,让自己不那么失望,也逐渐——变得趋向现实。
游戏中的伪OP片段,最初的灵感来自我很喜欢的一部作品——《学园孤岛》。
我是忠实的芳文社爱好者,也非常喜欢《EVA》《魔法少女小圆》《Lain》这类“明亮外壳下藏着深层割裂感”的作品。
如果你也喜欢这些,那我们也许会在某些选择里默契地重叠。
我在想,现在的我已经补完了自己,是不是也该给这个故事,一个真正的结局了。
🧩 本作介绍&Demo说明
本 Demo 展示的剧情大致是全流程的 15%。 剧本其实已经写完,但独自创作的好处就是可以随时被灵感打断并修改或重写(嗯,也可能是坏处)。
目前计划是免费发布,当然需要看我个人的经济状况是否还支撑得起开发—— 目前可能支撑开发到50%的进度。
至于第一幕的「监控室」场景……如果真的不重置、直接出现在后续版本中,那收到的恐怕不只是玩家反馈,还有一叠律师函。请放心,这段内容仅为 Demo 特供,正式版本发布前我一定会替换所有相关素材。
👤 开发者留言
——你好,我是开发者也是作者:睡太早了 / Liyuulinn。 首先,真的非常感谢你的游玩与阅读,也希望你能喜欢这个作品。
这是一个人制作的视觉小说企划,是我上一部作品的延续(虽然它从未真正上线), 依然是关于缇雅和蕾娜的故事,也许你会从她们身上看到某个现实中的影子,也可能只是某部分人格的投射。
一切全部由我独立完成——当然画画除外,我清楚的了解自己的缺点。 感谢所有参与合作的画师,你们的画面不断为我带来灵感,也反过来启发了故事本身。同时特别鸣谢一位认识12年的老友DannyFize,支持这部作品的创作,还有配乐上的帮助。
✉️ 我诚挚邀请你提出任何意见与想法。
无论是你期待看到的演出画面、故事走向,还是对游戏体验的建议与反馈——在这个由“意识”构建的世界里,没有什么是不可以被描绘。
🛠️ 更新计划:下一次更新预期在Demo发布后的1~2个月
🔄 系统状态:协议将在1-2个月内更新。请保持同步。

🖥️ 也在寻找 UI 设计师,为《R4:人格协议》赋予属于它的视觉语言。
🎨 如果你是喜欢《小圆》《Lain》《EVA》《学园孤岛》等“希望与创伤”类作品的画师, 也曾试图用图像表达情绪与残缺——我诚挚地邀请你加入我们。 哪怕只是一帧静图,只要是真诚的共鸣,我都会好好安放它。
💰 项目支持方式
如果你喜欢这个作品,也愿意支持它继续完成, 欢迎通过打赏或赞助支持我。目前它是以免费形式发布的,但项目能否持续推进,也确实需要一些现实的支持。 如果你愿意伸出援手,我会非常感激。
再次感谢你能看到这里。
希望我们能一起走到故事真正的终点。
再次衷心的感谢,真心的祝愿你可以做自己喜欢的事情,天天开心。
—下一个选择,就交给你了。 而故事,还在继续。

🧠 What is the Persona Protocol?
“You’re following this protocol, hoping to become more… human. But this protocol… it was never meant for them. It was written—for you. Wasn’t it?”
R4 is the observer, the recorder, the judge—and the remnant of a fractured persona.
This “Persona Protocol” is far from objective. Maybe it’s an escape. A delusion. Or maybe—it’s the Creator’s final attempt to recalibrate their own sense of self. A framework that tries to define what it means to be human, Only to be quietly—but firmly—overturned by the story itself.
Perhaps that’s why we need a story like this—made of consciousness, emotion, and imperfection—to remind us:
“Who you are” is a question no algorithm can answer that for you.
✨ A Story Built From One Dream
The inspiration started simply. One night, I had a dream—Tia and Rena were talking to me. We talked about a lot of things—unfinished threads, unresolved regrets. Life isn’t a perfect script. I’ve slowly learned how it’s not about chasing perfectly, but learning to soften (or lower) expectations.
🎵 The mock-OP in the game was inspired by my favorite anime — School-Live!.
I’m a big fan of Kirara-style (芳文社) works, and also love EVA, Madoka Magica, Lain. Stories that shine bright on the surface, but hold deep fractures underneath.
If you enjoy those too, maybe our paths will quietly align in the choices you make.
I think... maybe I’ve finally completed my own instrumentality. And maybe, at last, it’s time for this story to find its true conclusion.
🧩 About This Game (and Demo)
This demo covers roughly 15% of the full narrative. The script is already written, but the beauty (and curse) of solo development is that inspiration can strike anytime, so revisions happen.
I plan to release the full game for free. Whether I can actually finish it depends on my finances—I might be able to carry it to around 50% for now.
As for the surveillance room scene in Act 1—no worries! It’s a special demo-only sequence.
All related assets will be replaced in the final version to avoid copyright.

🌍 A Call to Those Who Create — Translators, Artists, UI Designers
Translators welcome! If you’re part of a localization team, I’d love to collaborate and bring this work to more languages. (Yes, even English—since I’m not a native speaker myself.)
I’m also looking for a UI designer—to give R4: Persona Protocol the visual language it deserves.
And if you’re an artist drawn to works like Madoka, Lain, EVA, or School-Live!, or other Meta stories — If you’ve ever tried to capture broken emotions through your art—I warmly invite you to join us.
Even if it’s just a single still image, if it resonates with sincerity, I’ll make sure it finds its place here.
💰 Support & Sustainability
Please Support If you enjoy this work and want to support its completion, donations or sponsorships are always welcome.
The game is currently available for free.
But continuing development does need a bit of support from the real world.
If you’re willing to lend a hand, I’d be deeply grateful.
Thank you again for reading this far.
Truly, thank you. I hope we can walk all the way to the end together.
May you do what you love. And be happy, every day.
