I wish you all the best of luck and health and I look forward to playing John's route when it comes out!

P.S. I'm saving that meme format, it's perfect XD

They all sound like awesome ideas!! Good luck!!

Feel better soon and good luck!!! ^-^ 

This was such a fun and immersive experience, I was immediately hooked! I would LOVE to see more!!

i absolutely LOVED everything about this!!! I adored everyone, but if I had to pick favorites, Deiran and David had me smitten immediately XD (although Viktor is precious beyond words and BOB is the real dreamboat here loll)

From characters to CGs, humor to horror, retail to romance: this game has it all, including a heaping serving of heart and passion behind it! 

Thank you so so much for sharing such a  fun(ny), creative, and incredibly immersive and atmospheric game with us!! 

Forget a Day 2, I'm not kidding when I say I would play 365 Days  of this XD 

Good luck, take care, and I look forward to clocking in to my shift! ;)

I gasped out loud, cried my eyes out, and now I'm lying in bed at 3 am feeling like I've had my heart gutted in the best way...all that to say, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE UPDATE!!!!!!💕💕💕💕💕😭😭😭😭😭

It was so beyond everything I had hoped for (and I was hella excited for this too, I literally ended up writing myself a reminder on my online calendar 😂)

Take care, dear dev, and I can't wait for ch 5! 💜

Omg I LOVED your backgrounds for The Man of My Dreams!!! 

I'm so happy to hear you're planning on an extended version for this because I absolutely loved the experience and would love more!

Thank you for sharing the behind-the-scenes process, it was super interesting! Good luck to you and the rest of the team and may there be many amazing sandwiches in your future! XD

Just bought the paid version and I can't wait to play!!

Just wanted to let y'all know that the paid Mac version is unavailable! It's listed as Windows instead T^T

EDIT: Okay so, I couldn't download it on the itch.io app, BUT I could successfully download it via browser. I'm excited to play the new routes!!

That John and Marion CG is absolutely gorgeous!! 

It looks so soft and dreamlike...I love it and now I'm even more excited to play his route!

Good luck with all the writing, coding, and arting, and don't forget to take care of yourself! ^-^

I didn't expect this to make me emotional but it did TT 

Beautiful job!!!

OMG I'M SO HAPPY!!!!! I haven't been able to get this game out of my head ever since I first played it TT

I'm so excited to play!!!

When LUXE's debut date is your birthday XD 

Is this meant to be?

Thanks for sharing this with us!! I'm loving it thus far!!

Ahhh I'm so excited!!!

AHHHHHH WELCOME BACK!!!! YOU WERE MISSED!!! <3

i have so many fond memories of playing your games and excitedly ranting about the artwork and storylines with my best friend back in high school!

I can't wait to immerse myself in your absolutely wonderful work once more!!

Good luck with the kickstarter and with the rest of your exciting future endeavors!!

Take care and once again, WELCOME BACK!!!!!!

AHHHH CONGRATULATIONS!!! I am SO excited to play!! Will update this after I do! ^-^

Edit: OMG I LOVED THIS!!!! This chapter made me cry and laugh in that order and I admit I yelled at my screen multiple times while playing. THAT ENDINGGGGGGGG, LET'S GOOOOOOOO!!!! 

I'm so emotional, I love this so much T^T

I CAN'T WAIT FOR CH 5!!!

AHHHHHHH CONGRATS ON THE DEMO RELEASE!!!! 

I love this game to bits! I still remember how utterly obsessed I was with the og demo...I can't wait to play the new and improved one! 

Thanks for all of your hard work and dedication to this game, your passion truly shines through your work and I'm so very excited to see where you'll take this!

Good luck and take care!!

Ooooh, that sounds absolutely lovely!!I'll be sure to check out jeanne en provence then! Sometimes I feel like a dragon with a hoard composed entirely of perfumes, but y'know what, that's the best kind of dragon to be 😤😎😂

Your pressed flower bookmarks sound beautiful...I want to try my hand at 'em now! XD

P.S. Funny you should say that about Tuberose Overdose bc the last time I wore it, it did give me a sliiight headache 😂 (Then again, I'm almost always "functioning" on a base level of slight-to-moderate sleep deprivation so it was probably that too tbh-)

I still wear it tho bc it just makes me feel way too gorgeous not to 😂

Hello again!! Ahhhh, these are such good perfumes!! I'm a sucker for a good rose scent (they've been my favorite flower since I was a wee lass), so thank you for the rec! 

As for favorite scents, hmmmmmm...

I spent my senior year of high school wearing Burberry Brit Sheer and absolutely loved it! I sprayed that bad boy on till it ran dry and got a bunch of compliments bc of it XD 

I get headaches if my perfume is too strong and/or cloying, but this was not that so it passed with flying colors for me! It's very much a fond favorite of mine that remains pretty high up there on my ranking list years later. 

Banana Republic's Tuberose Overdose is my academic dinner scent! If I wanna smell like an alluringly attractive professor, that's my go-to pick XD

CK One Shock for Her is my party scent! I wore it for prom and it did things to my brain chemistry that have yet to reverse themselves, 5+ years later. If I'm wearing this, I know there's a dance floor involved at some point and I'm not leaving it. 

And omg perfume oils!! Swiss Arabian's Layali and Layali Rouge are absolutely lovely!! Both are very fruity-floral, but Rouge is a lot more fresh imo, whereas Layali feels more rich. Neither are what I'd describe as light scents (they do have oud after all lol), but I tend to use Rouge as a daytime scent and Layali as a more nocturnal one. 

As for nostalgic perfumes, I have two: Dior's J'adore perfume and violet body spray from TJ Maxx. I associate the first with my mom (she LOVES perfumes and this is a favorite of hers she wore a lot when I was really small). The second is ALSO connected to my mom, if only because she bought it for me as a gift when I was in middle school. It came in this tall classic body spray bottle (think clear plastic and cylindrical with a matching cap) and was the prettiest lavender hue. It smelled SO good and made me feel like a Fae child in the best of ways. 

I can't wait to try the perfumes you've mentioned!! Take care and have a lovely day/night!

Ahhh, thank you so much for humoring me! 😂 

Spoilers just in case I let something slip 🤡

As expected, the 1850s tea (or should I say, soup? 👀 😉) is piping hot!! XD

Poor Sage (and MC, but that goes without saying-)

A Lifetimes dlc sounds like a dream come true! Take all the time you need and enjoy the journey, we'll still be interested so worry not! 🥰

I would LOVE to ramble on about ideas and I'd be honored if any of my 3 am stream of consciousness concepts inspire you!🥺😂

For example, MC sounds like they're from a pretty high-up family during the Ming dynasty timeline. Imo, a Chinese court drama is never complete wwithout a poisoning plot... 👀😂

Who gets poisoned, if anyone? Everyone? (I can actually see that happening tho lolll-)

This is a super fun concept with tons of potential and I'm so excited to follow along! 💕

Your wisdom knows no bounds, dear dev...Yasha may indeed be one crazy f*cker, but he's MY crazy f*cker XD 

This was such a chaotic ride from start to finish!! I absolutely loved him and Sage to bits!

Spoilers!!!

The overall concept of the game and the time loop mechanic is so fun, I wish there was more to play through! (I lowkey wish this was a series lolll-)

I find myself so incredibly curious about Yasha and MC's previous lives! From the Ming dynasty to the Black Death to the Victorian period, they've been THROUGH it lmao. I already know I'm gonna be thinking about these timelines for at least the next 3-5 business days  (Just think of the drama!!! The tragedy!!! The...eventual insanity!!! I can't help it T^T)

I have three endings left to complete the game, but before I resume my quest, I have one question for you that's haunted me ever since it first popped up in-game: 

What exactly went down in 1850?  (Bc I'm nosy-)

(Feel free not to answer if we're not meant to know!!)

Thanks for sharing such an awesome game with us!! Whether there is more in store for this title or not (in terms of sequels or dlcs, etc.), it has been an absolute pleasure to play! 

Take care and good luck with the full game!!

 I look forward to seeing what wonderful things you come up with next!

P.S. Yasha and Sage's voice actors knocked it out of the park! A standing ovation to the both of them (and u ofc) <3

I'm bookmarking that pre-order link XD

This is the perfect weekend plan for me, I'm off to restock my tea stash and get some candles stat! XD

While Val may not be able to take a bow with you, know that everyone who has ever played your game and felt something because of it is giving you an ocean of light (except instead of lightsticks, it's the light of our screens lollll)

I hope you have a lovely day/night and I can't wait to replay Parfum Nostalgique for years to come! ^-^

Your cousin Charles sounds absolutely awesome!!😂

I'm hugging all of your characters until they make a sqeaky toy sound (and giving my longest and most gentle hug to darling Lupine🥺)

Hope you're having a wonderful day/night, dear Priro! ^-^

The MC lore reveal was so good, I can't wait to find out more about them and how Veiss came to be!!

Veiss may be a mysterious and disconcerting hottie, but MC's the real enigma here imo lollll

Good luck with the full game!!!

Woooooo, congrats!!! I can't wait to play!!

Another devlog, wooooooo!!!! 

Val will forever be Dracula Smith to me from now on lolllll

Also, how can anyone look at 'em and not think of Oscar? The hair, the vibes, it's right there-

The Anne Rice slander was peak tho XD

I remember reading the Interview with the Vampire graphic novel in middle school and going all Scared Hamster.jpeg...Yeah, that was the beginning and the end of my time with Anne Rice, especially when paired with that fanfiction comment of hers. (I did end up keeping the novel tho bc I found the art pretty and pretty art was, is, and will forever be a weakness of mine lmao)

Terrifyingly human characters are the best! People forget that sometimes the most monstrous a monster can be is human. It's the humanity we glimpse from within them that can scare us, even if we can't quite put a finger on it. Most of all, human characters are complicated and I absolutely love me a complicated character. It's a reflection of the beauty and the horror of the human experience!

Anyways-

From fairies to living dolls to a comedy (yay!!!), your future vn ideas all sound so exciting! I'd love to see what you come up with, especially regarding the living doll idea! Reminds me of the adventures 6 yr old me would concoct for myself and my 3ft tall Barbie doll way back when XD

Good luck, take care, and good night!

Congrats on finishing Parfum Nostalgique!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Finishing things is such an awesome achievement, especially when it comes finishing something that clearly means so much to you! 

I'm so happy you had such an unforgettable journey with this and that it has left your life that much richer. I hope to find that same special journey in my life a as well! Sometime soon, I hope (ever impatient, as always lol), but the waiting is part of the journey too, no? 

Your devlogs are honestly so fun to read, so whether you write them like this or all Creatorly, I think you'll be fine! 😂

I can't wait to see what new vns you develop next!!!

Take care and have a lovely day/night!!💕💕💕

Congrats on getting past the writer's block!!🎉🎉🎉

I look forward to reading the update soon! :)

CONGRATS ON THE DAY 1 RELEASE!!! I am *running* to play this asap-

I'm so sorry you had to deal with that and I wish you the best! Good luck, take care, and I look forward to supporting on Patreon as soon as I am able!!💜

Congratulations on becoming an aunt!!! I hope you have a lovely time with your family and the new little one! 

Can't wait to play the new update!

Ahhhh they're absolutely lovely!! This game has such a special place in my heart <3

Much love and good luck with all that you do!!

Thank you so much!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊

This is awesome news, guys!! I'm excited to see what you guys do next! (And as someone who sheds a silent tear over all the amazing Japanese games I can't play bc of the language and access barriers, I will be keeping an eye on the Kaguya Project!)
