Hi! 

Hope everyone is doing well! We're in the final stretch of the kickstarter campaign. I can't believe time has flown so so fast. 

We finally set up our Tumblr!  (Needs polish but, it works for now!) If you'd like to send asks about the characters, I'll do my best to answer (while dodging spoilers, of course). You don't need an account to ask questions, but I think any spicier content may not show to people without an account.

Steam is undergoing processing still, they've asked for a minor change that hopefully should be fixed by our designer ASAP!

Here's the gorgeous charm art by Kurumi~ They're available as add ons, or if you'd also like to splurge on the rest of our selection too, in the Reaper CEO bundle and in the add-ons selection too.

Another stretch goal reached! Approaching the final 48 hours!! Let's go!! (And a picture of Aina's full body art!)

Thank you yet again for all of the support! I have faith that we can reach Malthus goal (with the addition of Backerkit), and as for Lucien I think we can look towards alternatives... Will discuss soon, but let's first see this campaign through with a strong finish! 

As mentioned before, Kickstarter backers will receive those DLCs as a gift for supporting us making this game a reality.

Sharing our page to your otome loving friends (and family) wherever you can, is super helpful to us, and we'd love it if you could! Reddit, discord, twitter, tumblr,  nextdoor, the local library, the boba shop with questionable boba quality...

We're almost there to the next goal already! We got this team!! 

1 week left!! Stretch goal 1 has been reached! (And a Malthus charm update)

We did it! We've unlocked the first stretch goal. Hurray! 

Currently working on getting the Steam page up so we can start collecting wishlists, and will hopefully be able to get our demo build on there too sometime in the next month after polishing some more and submitting for the review process. 

Also, here is what the Malthus charm will look like ^_^ Backerkit should open up the option for him post campaign for those who are currently unable to access add ons.

100% Funded! Oh my goodness!! (And a small snippet from Caym chapter 1, + Lineart of the Mal and Lucien Charms)

THANK YOU!!!

Wow! I said there would be no more pings until we got fully funded but. Here we are! 

Thank you so, so, so much! On behalf of everyone who has been working on this project, and from the bottom of my heart.

A special shoutout to our special cg tier backers too, as well as our design-a-room friend! I'll be getting into contact with everyone as soon as we end, but thank you so much for giving us the big boost to let us reach our goal! 

I've always wanted to make an otome game since I discovered those mobile games in high school (and even before that with the little dating sims on deviantart) and to think it's finally happening.

Stretch goals!

Now we aim for stretch goals! I've mentioned it in the last update, but if the stretch goal routes do end up getting created (and we don't happen to reach the amount during the kickstarter), they'll be free for all kickstarter backers as a gift for helping this game come alive. Of course, hoping that we can reach our goals, but just wanted to say it again once more.

(I have been informed that the digital tier does not allow add ons, but Backerkit should have all the add-ons be available for everyone, and all purchases through there also will immediately contribute towards stretch goals too!)

Here's the charm progress for the two boys!

Caym Chapter 1

And here's a rough snippet from Caym's chapter 1! Since we reached our full funding faster than expected, I'll let all backers get early access to it anyways, to celebrate! I'll lower the social media goal to 2k likes too, just because I'm so happy and I think it'll be a good way to keep up our momentum. (Although backers will still get earlier access than anyone else, and alpha access folks will get the earliest previews.)

Thank you once again!!
