Asphodelium
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
Hazel is an ex-adventurer who's settled down with some of his previous guildmates after the adventure of a lifetime--taking down a doomsday cult that tried to end the world, but at the cost of killing their former guild leader who turned against them. Despite their adventure still haunting him months later, he's tried to move on.
That is until a man with the same face as their guild leader approaches him.
Asphodelium is a melancholic slice of life boys love story about your past confronting you. It's a story about what makes you, you. If you're not yourself, but you have your face, your memories, your mannerisms, then what is "you"?

this was such a wonderful game, i was really taken by the world and the characters' perspectives, the relationships between all of them, and i really enjoyed playing from hazel's pov! <3333
i couldn't figure out a way to get alternate ending, sadly, and i was wondering if there were any tips for that :,0 other than that though, this was one of my favorite vns <3 thank you for such a great experience!
thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it!! the current two endings are pretty similar, basically depending on if you take Aster's side in situations or not. I'd like to add more endings to it when I get the chance.
Any plans for an Android build?
It's just i loved A pinch of Magic, and i heard such good things about this game 😭
just added an android port, thanks for asking!
Ooh Awesome! Thanks a bunch for letting me know!
My only complaint is that I wanted even MORE! :P
Loved the premise, the characters, everything.
thank you for playing!!
That was very good!
I was immediately pulled into the world and kept wanting to know what would happen next. The art, writing, and storytelling are all *chef's kiss*. And I loved the premise of the game! It was a unique concept to explore Aster's feelings toward Cyrus, his past, and his relationships with the other characters. I think you executed it all really well. 😊
The only thing I would've liked to see would be a feel-good epilogue scene after a bit of a time skip because the ending felt a bit abrupt. But other than that, it was an excellent story and I enjoyed it a lot. 👌
thank you so much!!
What kind of transgender does this game contain? Is it mtf or is it ftm?
The main character is a trans man
Thank you for your reply!
