A neighbourhood to explore
An open map with apartments, the street, the grocery, the café, the woods and the mall. Every place changes with the day and the hour.
Version 0.4.2 — "A Full House"
Villa Nueva
A neighbourhood, a borrowed apartment and an empty shop down the block. A sandbox adult visual novel made in Buenos Aires.
What it's about
You arrive in a neighbourhood where you know nobody, with nothing but what you're carrying and an apartment that isn't yours. From there the game doesn't hold your hand: there's a map, there are schedules, there are people with their own routines, and you have to work it out.
You can work at the corner shop and put up with the owner's son. You can rent the empty place down the block and turn it into something of your own — paying the deposit, the rent and the bills, with the real risk of losing it if you fall behind. And there are the neighbours, who aren't icons with an affection bar: they're people who open the door to you or shut it, depending on how you treat them.
Not a translation. Villa Nueva was written in Rioplatense Spanish first — the characters swear, flirt and talk like people actually do in Buenos Aires. The full English version is included.

0.4.2 is out: "A Full House"
Camila's parents come back from the coast and the flat next door stops being hers: three acts — the warning, the arrival, and a house full of people who don't know you. Gladys, the nurse who decides who gets in and who waits in the hallway, comes with them. The NOX, the club on the avenue, opens on Fridays and Saturdays. Sofía from the grocery becomes a client at the shop. And a bug that could leave you stuck in the middle of a phone conversation is fixed.

I played the whole thing front to back, and bugs turned up
I sat down and played 0.4.1 the way a player does it, skipping nothing. Several bugs turned up and it took me a few days to fix them: the game now plays all the way through without getting stuck. That release goes out next week, and it isn't coming alone — it ships with new content.
August 20th, 2026
New character, and an open vote
The nurse who looks after Camila's parents is in. And the next scene is your call: ONE of two goes into 0.5, the other waits for 0.6. Vote below — no sign-up, no account.

0.4.1 fixes the map in English
A fix release, no new content. Playing in English, the place names on the map were still showing up in Spanish, so you couldn't tell where you were walking to. Relationship stages, skills and the shop notifications are in English now too. If you downloaded 0.4, get this one instead.
August 7th, 2026
0.4 is public
"The Shop" is out for everyone, free, on all four platforms. It's the biggest version so far: you rent a place, get it running, and Yanina shows up — she won't make it easy for you.
July 31st, 2026
Villa Nueva runs on your phone
First Android build, with the interface rebuilt for thumbs. If something breaks, there's a "Report a problem" button inside the game that reaches me directly.
July 27th, 2026
The whole game in English
The translation finished end to end, menus included, plus a language screen on first launch. The button used to be buried and people couldn't find it — that one was on me, and it's fixed.
Features
Your own shop
Rent an empty unit and turn it into a massage parlour. Buy the table, cover the rent, bring in clients. Miss the payments and you lose it.
Choices that cost
Doors open with trust, not with a button. What you do the first time changes everything that follows.
In-game phone
Contacts, messages that answer back, stats, and a gallery that keeps every scene you unlock.
English and Spanish
The whole game in both languages, switchable from the main menu.
PC, Mac, Linux and Android
With a touch-friendly interface on the mobile build.
The neighbourhood
Some of the people you'll run into.
CamilaThe neighbour from the next studio.
SofíaGoes running through the woods early.
ValeriaFrom the building, and she has a temper.
Screenshots
From the game, as it looks.
Downloads
Free. No sign-up, no surveys, no link shorteners.
Version 0.4.2 is out and it's free.
The next one, 0.5, goes to Patreon supporters a week early — that's what funds the development.
You can also grab it from the all-platforms folder or from itch.io. Want the next one first? Patreon.
Requirements
- PC / Mac / Linux — any machine from the last ten years. No graphics card needed.
- Android — 5.0 or newer, around 500 MB free.
- Engine — Ren'Py. No installer: unzip and run.
Vote which scene goes into 0.5
One of the two makes it in. The other waits for 0.6. Closes when 0.5 ships, end of the month.
Option A
Yanina closes the salon
Alone, her back wrecked, walking across to the shop at the hour when there's nobody left on the block. She never asks for anything twice.
Option B
Sofía comes back to the shop
The client who says she can't. That she's in a hurry. That "he" is waiting for her. She comes back anyway, and both times she leaves early.
To vote, leave a comment below with one letter: A or B. No account, no email needed. Tell me why if you feel like it — that counts for more than the vote.
What I'm working on
Version 0.5. No promised date — I hate moving dates.
0.5
Camila's parents come back
They come back from Mar del Plata for a while, and Gladys, the nurse, moves in with them. The bedroom that's been empty since 0.2 now has someone living in it, and Camila loses her room. The version ends the day she moves in with you: living together properly starts in 0.6.
0.5
The nightclub
A new location, on weekends. It's there for more than dancing: turn up badly dressed and you don't get in, so the clothes you buy finally matter. And you meet someone there you'll run into again at the university.
Patreon supporters get it a week before everyone else, and vote on what goes into the next ones.
Version history
Version 0.4.2 — "A Full House" · September 2026
- Camila's parents come back. The season on the coast is over and the flat next door stops being hers. Three acts: the warning on the phone, the arrival, and a house full of people who don't know you.
- Gladys, the nurse. She sleeps in Camila's room and decides who gets in and who waits in the hallway. She isn't mean, she's fed up — and she doesn't take money, she takes pastries from the grocery.
- The NOX. The club on the avenue opens Fridays and Saturdays, and Camila takes you. The doorman looks at your clothes: wear a shirt.
- Sofía on the massage table. The grocery owner is a client now, and she has her own story. With her, what works isn't what you say — it's what you don't.
- Matching sets at the shop. You buy two of the same one Yanina wears and hand them to clients in the changing room. They get dirty every two sessions.
- Phone chat fixed. It was drawn on top of the reply menu and swallowed your clicks: if it caught you mid-conversation, you were stuck and had to close the game.
- Report button fixed. On some machines the send was failing and the game said "couldn't send" even with a working connection. It goes through now, and if something fails it tells you why.
- Comic panels fixed. They were in the build but never declared, so they never showed up at all.
- The Journal and the goal notifications were still coming out in Spanish in the English version.
Version 0.4.1 — "The Shop" · August 2026
- English build fixed (0.4.1). The map was showing the place names in Spanish, so you couldn't tell where you were going. Same for relationship stages, skills and the shop notifications.
- The shop. Rent the empty unit down the block and get it running: deposit, rent, massage table, heater, oil and clients.
- Yanina, the hairdresser next door. Your first client, and the one who fills the place up if you treat her right.
- The massage session. No longer a menu of options: what you're playing is the conversation, and she either relaxes or gets up and leaves without paying.
- Sex shop and clothing store. What you buy gets given as a gift, and a gift is judged by when you give it, not by what it cost.
- Camila, all the way. Her story continues, including what happens if you stay the night.
- Android build. For the first time, with an interface built for thumbs.
- "Report a problem" button inside the game, reaching me directly.
- The full system menu is back: save, load, preferences and dialogue history.
Version 0.3 — "El Masiquiosco" · July 2026
- Maxi, the shop owner's son. The neighbourhood stops being friendly: you can stand your ground or keep your head down, and both carry permanent consequences. On the worst branch you lose the job.
- Camila's first date, which changes depending on how much money you're carrying when the bill arrives.
- Bosques de Palermo, with its own backgrounds, at night too.
- Favours for the Uncle, who is a good deal more than he appears.
- Language selection screen on first launch, and an "I already played v0.2" button.
- Redesigned diary, and the game moves to 1280x720 — the biggest visual jump since the start.
Versions 0.1 and 0.2 · June and July 2026
- The first public builds: the neighbourhood, the map with schedules, the corner shop, and the first routes for Camila and Valeria.
