Hello, Cozy Gang!

I edited and uploaded my sixth Dexterous: Time to Steal VOD to my Youtube channel! We accidentally reset our home base so we had a little bit of a struggle as we tried to fight Hour 5. Not having the benefits from our base was difficult but we built a bit of it back up.

This puzzle focused game is a good mix in between Bejeweled and Slay the Spire with a fun cast of pixel art characters and environments! The game is available on Steam now so you can check it out for yourself!

This time-whimey RPG has really captured my attention and heart. I fell in love with Siffrin, Isabeau, Mirabelle, Odile, and Bonnie quickly.

Many lovely patrons come to visit and share their stories as they sip the freshly made tea. At night we try to chat with the quiet nurse and write some stanzas of our poem.

Hello, Cozy Gang!

I edited and uploaded my full playthrough of the Spell Candle Demo VOD to my Youtube channel! This video is from one of my Fall In Love Visual Novel Festival streams!

Dealing with grief can be difficult but also having to juggle four beguiling hotties while doing so can be fun! In Spell Candle, the player finds themself traveling to the Dread Festival with Latimor, the moody cutie general of their nation’s army. At the Festival they meet three Elven aspects: the jovial Terra, flirtatious Aqua, and the reserved Mors Mortis. The Festival is soon rocked by an explosion that leaves them as the lead investigator!

In this demo, the otome game introduces us to the city of Omnis and to the four main love interests. We get a good glimpse into the personality of each of them and to the politic environment. We even get to experience some of the interrogation scenes with each character as well. I feel like this is a good and thorough taste of what the game has to offer and I am intrigued. The art, music, and writing all weave an enticing tale that has the potential to captivate me for the ride! If you are interested, I highly recommend checking out the demo and the kickstarter for yourself!
