there's a browser build you can play on mobile!
I'm trying to download a port to play without Internet cause my PC a little weak and crashes a lot at times
The art reminds me of PC98 visual novels. I love it
I love how the POV changes and the sprites move
Cute artwork and good background music. Well done!
The art and story for this short visual novel is so good, I love the characters sm. I hope to see more of them and incredibly massive appreciation to everyone who worked on this.
P.S.
If there is one, what's the chronological order for your Victorian gaymes? (I love that phrase, lol)
hi, thank you so much! there's no order for them as they're not in the same universe- they're just all gay visual novels set in fantasy Victorian-esque settings.
okay, so i got the ending where i become the snack, one where i leave with her and sleep for days, whats the third?
she leaves, may visit again for sweets
And, how would i create this scenario where im so boring she doesnt even want to feed on me
sorry I have no idea, I got 1 ending then left
"my camellia" LET'S FAWKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
it is fine i guess
Really cool little game!
how cute
Awww
Very impressive for a game made in such a short period of time! :D
Super atmospheric.
thank you!!
I genuinely hope that you do more with these characters and don't leave them. At the same time the shortness has a bittersweet effect to it, so it's not a completely bad thing if this is all the story these characters get. Also I liked the detail of adding a silhouette off centered and layered over a characters sprite when they are talking directly to each other. It's not something I've seen done too often, or this well.
thank you so much!!
Love the animations on the sprites, the character designs, and the choice of music. The writing is suitably atmospheric and feels a little old-fashioned too, which matches with the atmosphere.
The sprites also look so pretty against the moonlight window background, the lighting is lovely!
It's a really atmospheric little VN, I enjoyed it a lot!
thank you so much ebi!! ♥
Looks cool!
thank you!
