HEY important, but there's a site called Citron Games which have been taking games off itch.io and uploading it to their site and claiming they're the publisher/copyright holder of them!

I've seen a lot of vns on there from devs I know/follow, but I've also seen some IFs on there as well.

I'd recommend checking the site to make sure your game isn't on there and if it is, issuing a DMCA takedown!

Hello, fellow clown fuckers!

Apologies for the complete silence here! Don't worry, the project is not abandoned. I just needed to put it on hold while I worked on updating my other game.

I've been making progress on writing a few scenes ever since I started having a bit more free time! So while things are moving slow, they are still moving.

Hello again

I've been on hiatus for a very long while due to irl responsibilities and financial issues. During my hiatus, I've had quite the time to contemplate on what I have planned or planning for the game for more than two years now. I've now considered to remake the demo entirely, which would mean new art and possibly the writing for both the plotline and the characters included as well. This may take a while since I'll be starting again from square one (considering the fact Ren'Py has also been updating consistently as well so coding is a bit...haha). However, given that I still have my irl responsibilities and issues, time will be my very struggle with this and my health as well. Therefore, if you wish to help me out as I develop Colored Gaze and possibly more in the future, I will be opening up a Patreon for those who want to help me and support the games I make. Another post will be made regarding on this as soon as I've set it up properly. So with that, I'm kinda back here again! c: I will be posting some updates here BUT once Patreon is up, the content uploaded there will be more than just updates C:

oh and I will be updating the blog name here as well so from now on, this blog will be from "Colored Gaze" to "Midnight Wine" as an official name behind not only the Colored Gaze VN but also for future ones as well !

What do the LI's do when requesting attention/affection from MC?

Andre: He's big on affection and would be more than willing to fulfill any requests. At this point you don't have to ask and just hug him or nudge him, he'll just respond immediately.

Casey: He's similar to Andre with this where he loves affection but he definitely has his limits. Especially when it comes to his magic, sometimes when he's feeling high emotions he doesn't want to be touched in fear of it being transferred onto you.

Chrys: She doesn't mind receiving affection as she herself enjoys it. She is often affectionate with her friends, notably hugging or holding their arm/hand simply because a need for stimulation or a stim.

David: He personally doesn't like affection most of the time. If you're in public he especially will not indulge you but maybe in private. That is a hard maybe though, you'll have to catch him on one of those days where's calmer than usual or just depressed.

Eddie: Most of the time he doesn't like it, sometimes he does, but usually he prefers to initiate touch.

Kieran: He likes affection but will deny kind of harshly when he's in one of his 'moods'.

Noble: Regardless of his emotional state, he will always indulge you and give you the tightest of hugs, especially if he's feeling it that day.

Zach: He doesn't mind affection but he's not the most affectionate person. If you want it, he'll indulge. It'll feel half-assed at first but if you tell him he'll change it to be more sincere... still though it feels forced.

Dev Update - End of May 2025

I finished the LI most recent designs (might do a little tweaking but nothing crazy). I didn’t work on the script too much because of medication shenanigans and hosting my partner. I’ll be living to their country today for over month and will only bring my laptop and drawing tablet. Aka, only drawing and writing for me lol. I finished rewriting the first half the script and have the other two parts.

I should finish the script editing by end of June!

[nifreti-ii]

Also the reason I haven’t posted any art recently, that and I had to stop taking my meds so my brain kinda splatted for a while 😅

Not an official update

My partner came over seas to visit me and I’ll be leaving with them to their country at the end of the month. I haven’t really worked on the vn much, just little snippets here and there. I do plant to only bring my laptop and tablet when I leave so I’ll be mostly forced to focus on writing.

I will make my end of May update when it’s time and I’m still working on it!

My little freaks

The love interests!

Your old neighbor! You fondly remember spending time with him and his father, one of the few highlights of your childhood. He's so different from what you remember. 

Your childhood best friend! You spent years running around and causing mischief together, both in school and around town. You hope she missed you too.

Your new neighbor! They said they moved in a few months after you graduated, they seem nice if a little strange. They remind you of someone…

Your Fault

Another Duality writing because they have invested my brain and made a nest.

I'm better at the deranged stuff than the smexy... @dualityvn

I got a teensy-weensy bit lazy at the end, sorry.

Pairing(s): Keith/Reader Tenebris/Reader

Warnings: Yandere men means scary times. Murder, descriptive murders, possessive men, suggestive stuff, BUT not smut. Mc a little cray-cray, but that's okay. We are all crazy.

Heart racing in chest.

Breath heavy in the air,

The adrenaline coursing through your veins. Your blood.

Ringing in your ears.

Where were you to go? To run to?

The loud thumping of feet behind you made fear run through you; raw, visceral.

It clawed its way from your stomach to your throat, difficult to swallow, difficult to breathe.

How could you have ever been so idiotic? Of course, the man with a literal changeling in his head was crazy. That the fucking fae was nuts. Now you had caught them in the act. It was... harrowing, trying to imagine the scene again.

An old friend. An old lover. You had been reunited not too long ago. He flirted, you deflected. You had your boys! Sure, they had been a bit aggressive, especially Tenebris, but they wouldn't harm him!

Until they did.

The scent of bile clung to your memory. Seeing bits of flesh cast across the cement and blood staining the gravel. The permanent look of horror etched into his dying look. You were the reason he was gone.

You wanted to scream, but that cost energy. You needed to run. To leave.

A strong hand gripped the back of your shirt collar, and you let out that scream you kept swallowing. Loud, shrill, full of absolute terror.

"Darling! Sweetheart! Love of my life, it's alright!" His honeyed voice rang in your ears, sweet, mischievous, and oh so desperate.

"Let go! Let go of me!" You screamed out, but who would hear you? Trapped in the forest. You ran there in hopes of losing Keith. How fucking stupid were you when drunk on adrenaline? He had a blue gremlin stuck in his head who knew the forest and was equally obsessed with you.

You were whirled around. Tears streaming down your cheeks, eyes red and blurry as you stared in terror of the man you've so dearly.

He had attracted you immediately with his charm and sweet demeanor. Tempted you. They both did. The duality(heheh) of the two intrigued you, made you want more, and made you desire more.

You were reaping the sorrows now. They warned you that fae were dangerous. You just never thought they were a part of that danger.

"Love, it's okay!" He laughed between his words, manic and depressed. His foundation was running down his face, and the tears streaked down his face. He was the one crying? After murdering someone dear?

The gall.

"How? How is this okay?" You snapped, thrashing, struggling to escape. He was surprisingly strong. Or was that just your desperation that made you flail around pathetically? "You murdered him! You killed him, oh, oh god. His blood was everywhere... and the smell. That smell...!"

You sobbed. The memory tormenting you. The nasty tears of skin and muscle, the unnatural turns of his body. The sickening cracks of bone and organs flowing from his abdomen.

"Love, he was trying to take you away from us! You're ours. Ours... all-"

"Fuck off!" You raised a leg between his thighs and struck his groin, watching in satisfaction as his expression morphed into agony. He fell, grip loosening as you darted away.

"Mc! MC!"

You heard his desperate cries of your name fade to nothing but sobs as you ran. You didn't stop. Couldn't. The scent of rain filled the air around you, and the skies darkened overhead. But you ran.

You shivered under the first drop.

Your legs gave out once a large tree root tripped you, falling onto the ground.

Rain soon followed. Pelting you hard with droplets.

You were shaking. Trembling. Dirty. And now wet.

You moved under the tree, sitting under it with your back against the trunk. You hugged your knees to your chest as numbness washed over you.

You've cried all the tears you could. Your adrenaline was running down, and your leg pulsed and throbbed with pain. It appeared you'd cut it at some point.

Your heart pounded in your chest. It was a struggle to breathe as your lungs ached and your diaphragm worked overtime.

You watched the rain fall. It created a faint fog, and you felt grateful for the chance to rest.

You were cold.

Were you going to die out here?

Ugh. Who cared.

Your heart was broken in a way you didn't know how to fix. The two you loved more than anything were murderers. They killed people. People you loved beside them. They had felt like the one for you. The one you wanted to marry, both of them.

Now all that was left...

The sky thundered, lightning streaming across the sky like a horse on an open plain. Free.

"Babe. There you are."

The voice startled you. You moved to stand up, but an arm was already wrapped around your waist, forcing you to stay seated.

You felt plush lips press against your neck, swallowing anxiously. You glanced down to meet wide royal blue eyes. Squiggles adorned the sides of his mouth that were set to a very disapproving frown.

Tenebris.

They had swapped? Obviously. God, you could be so stupid. How did you not predict this? For some magic entertainment for others?

He took Keith's sweater off and placed you in it. It has blood soaked into its fabric, and you felt the sticky substance press against your skin. Oh fuck. Oh fuck. Oh fucking hell he was torturing you.

"It's dirty. But it's better than the rain. Dumbass."

"L-let me go."

"No can do, babe. You'll run."

You frowned, "That's the idea."

He frowned more, "Why do you care so much about that fucking dipshit? Flirted with ya too goddamn much." Tenebris practically growled in your ear, and you trembled. You remember a time that would excite you. Now, it made you terrified.

"He was my friend!"

"He was trying to fuck you!"

"Did you both truly not trust me that much?"

Silence passed over you, and your heart somehow broke more. God, you were so done with dating after this.

"'Course we trust you. We didn't trust him."

"You... you could have told me. I would have stopped seeing him for a bit. Make sure he understood to stop. I would have... I could have saved him..."

Tenebris instantly softened and pulled you flush against his chest. He ran his fingers through your hair, and you begrudgingly liked it. "It's not your fault, babe. Don't let his death get ya down. Just come home with me and we'll all forget this."

"Forget this...? Forget this!?" You pushed him away, scrambling to kick him and thrashing to get free. He was much, much stronger than Keith, but you also knew he was deadly terrified of hurting you. You let a fake yelp of pain, and you saw his expression turn to horror as he softened his grip instantly. You kicked the arms free and saw his surprised look flash to anger as you stood up.

"How can I ever forget you killing someone? Someone that was close to me?" You felt tears return to your eyes. The rain mixed with the blood in the sweater you wore, making it useless as it clung to your body and drenched you.

"Mc-"

"No! No! Shut up! I won't let you two talk to me about this! I loved you! Both of you!" You let a sob escape your throat, trembling as you stared blankly at your hands. Wet with rain collecting on your palms, covered in blood from scratches and the sweater.

"We love you, Mc! We had to. He was going to take you!"

"He wasn't! Do you honestly think I'm so fucking easy to get that anyone who flirts with me gets some? Am I some slut to you?"

"No!"

"Than why? Why? Why..."

Your knees felt weak and gave out. You covered your face with your hands and sobbed into them.

Tenevria hesitantly approached you, kneeling down and holding you close to his chest. You had given up. Body limp and motionless as he held you, rubbing your back.

You hated Keith and Tenebris, but you also loved them so much it hurt.

What were you going to do? They killed out of jealousy.

Was...

Was this your fault?

If you had nipped his flirting in the bud except for deflecting, would he still be alive? If you had pushed to talk to the two before, would they have killed?

Were you the reason? The vile parasite that caused problems?

Oh... oh god.

Were they really at fault... if you did it? If it was your fault.

"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry..."

Tenevris watched you carefully, looking cautious and shocked. "Babe-?"

"I wanna go home. Please..."

Tenebris was quiet. Contemplating. Confused. He gently lifted you into his arms and began walking out of the forest to your shared home.

"Keith's relieved." Tenebris mumbled.

"I'm sorry..." You mumbled the phrase more and more undee your breath, clinging to Tenebris. You had blamed them for what you did. You pushed them to do it! You made them not trust you... his death was your fault.

Your fault...

It was your job to make up for it. To stay with them. Love them.

And never, ever, leave them.
