Game Premise:

Fall settles over the charming mountain town of Golden Grove as the story begins. But it isn’t only glittering leaves that are changing. You and your mom leave behind everything you knew before when you move to a new home nestled right in the middle of a tight knit cul-de-sac. It’s there where a paper airplane lands at your feet and brings you to unanticipated crossroads.

Make your own path through life as you grow from childhood to adulthood with your two closest neighbors. Even in the chilly autumn weather, it’ll be a truly heartwarming time.

Demo Features:

A 75,000-word script and dozens of choices to make

Design your own MC in terms of appearance, identity, personality, and preferences

Make a personalized bio image for your MC that can be saved and shared

Develop your own custom dynamic with the two leads

Customize the font style and textbox arrangement to suit your preferences

Enjoy a music room to listen to the OST at your leisure

Thanks again for waiting for the update. It’s been great seeing how excited people are to spend more time in the town of Golden Grove. I hope you have a wonderful afternoon there in these new scenes!

[The beta build you can get on Tier 2 and up of the Patreon has an additional script section not in the public demo.]

announcing...

Lost Lune is an action fantasy visual novel set in a post apocalyptic future where a foreign god has descended upon earth, wreaking havoc in its wake and casting the planet into an eternal night.

A decade has passed since the foreign god’s appearance, filling it with madness and destroying over a quarter of humanity within the first few months. Humanity has fought back but is still on its last legs against anomalous humanoid creatures with logic-defying powers. One of these fighters, Herber, loses their partner in a recent attack and has to fight to get them back against all odds.

Play as Herber Weiss (they/them), a Scavenging leader for one of the last strongholds of humanity as they fight against the hordes.

The full project is estimated to be around 50k words with 2 endings (and several dead endings). The Winter Visual Novel Jam version will be a demo of the project, around a third of the project’s full size.

Here's a sneak peek of who I've been working on lately!

Meet our darling Gabi, Haru's older sister!

She's the star of the swimming club and is a secret crush of someone in the game...

I hope you like her as much as I enjoyed designing her.

Gabi is a character from the horror otome game, Eye Can See You

Wrapped With A Kiss, our Christmas themed otome game, has received a major update! 

This new version features grammar and bug fixes, a new ending scene on Christmas day, and an easier time reaching the true love ending. 

After losing her job and being blacklisted from the business world, Noel has no choice but to sell everything in her apartment and move away from the big city. Lucky for her, Noel’s older sister offers the woman a place to stay during the holiday season. The only problem? The insurmountable pressure of her father’s expectations, being a good aunt, and trying to find something meaningful to do with her time may just shatter Noel’s world. Unless of course, the winter town’s cute local carpenter has a say in it!

Get the game on Steam or Itch.io.

I had my partner watch The Last Unicorn recently, and I still love this movie and this book.
