A fantasy romance visual novel. Safe travels.
Visual Novel

a short game that I enjoyed so thoroughly.

the romance was great, but what I really appreciated was the  somewhat mundane premise and the way it created space for great writing. I loved the relationship between the three party members, the slow build up of trust and friendship in both platonic and romantic relationships, and the PC's ability to support their companions as they developed as characters.

Discover secrets, unravel mysteries, and find love in a magical Library.
Visual Novel

loved the dev's previous projects. i'm ready to see their take on political intrigue and eager to uncover more world building aspects!

What the hell happened to Mr. Host? Solve the mystery and maybe find love along the way.
Visual Novel

genuinely invested in solving the murder mystery at this point! really hoping that the logical elements remain pretty tight :)

May we rest in kindred.

perhaps the most unusual worldbuilding/setting I've encountered in an IF so far. high stakes and intriguing mysteries! appreciate that I can also build relationships w what seem to be nonromanceable characters, with said relationships convincingly feeling like they might affect future events

Slaying the dragon? Easy. Collecting your pay? Not so much.

when I say I pursued no romance option and was perfectly happy, I meant it. incredibly charming.
