| Cute yuri visual novel The Demon Queen's Dire Dilemma has been released! | 2026-02-26 | Hello everyone! I'm writing a quick post to let you all know that my cute comedic yuri visual, The Demon Queen's Dire Dilemma, has been released! It's a very silly and light-hearted story about an adorable- um, I mean, very scary and fierce demon queen, Lady Asmodeus, as she tries to make her ditzy human maid, Lisette, fear her. Will Asmodeus succeed, or will Lisette manage to get the better of her? You'll have to read the visual novel to find out 👀 https://clan.fastly.steamstatic.com/images/33024327/61836e899162ba60f8d75cd4fa842b6266949f77.png https://clan.fastly.steamstatic.com/images/33024327/694af8b7e1b08b4888a16f8fce26aa3a363907cd.png h |

Lady Asmodeus is supposed to be a terrifying, all-powerful despot, so why does Lisette enjoy doting on her so much?! What's going on?!?!?! The VN is mostly finished, and a near complete build has been approved for release by Steam. The VN |

It's a cute and wholesome story with two love interests (including a mermaid girl), a potential poly ending, and a whole load of adorable art! https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/33024327/101a1036a8881041766b69c821c39a136d67a925.png If you want to read something relaxing and light-hearted, then this is the visual novel for you. It's pretty sweet (though there is a little dash of drama), and I'm very happy with how it turned out! It's actually one of my longest yuri visual novels, since it sits at around 15 |
| Out of the Ocean demo has been updated! | 2025-12-08 | Hi everyone, I'm writing a quick post to let you know that I've been hard at work these last couple of months on my cute yuri visual novel feat. a mermaid girl, Out of the Ocean. The VN is very close to being finished, and it's been fully coded and edited save for one ending out of a possible five. https://clan.fastly.steamstatic.com/images/33024327/2bb30964d550ad45f8e1dd656c7c2f74b2e54d35.png I'm still waiting on one art asset and the finalised trailer, but other than that, the VN is done. I'm hoping I'll be able to release it some time in December, but as we're nearing the end of the year and the winter sales will soon be upon us, I'm not s |
| Her Love, Like Poison has been released! | 2025-07-28 | Hi everyone! I'm just making a quick post to let you know that my spooky yuri visual novel, Her Love, Like Poison, has been released! https://clan.fastly.steamstatic.com/images/33024327/468de97559b15a5487765facaaccdfa38150a8b6.png If you've read any of my other yuri VNs, then Her Love, Like Poison might look familiar. The character art is by the same artist of my previously released yandere yuri visual novel, It gets so lonely here, and the UI is in a similar style. I wrote Her Love, Like Poison pretty soon after finishing up Lonely (I must have been in the mood for more toxic yuri set in the woods), so while the two stories are unrelated, th |
| Cute BxG VN Maid For My Master has been released! | 2025-06-20 | Hello everyone! I'm writing a quick announcement to let you know that Maid For My Master has been released! https://clan.fastly.steamstatic.com/images/33024327/7131364d4479d6e0a44290a2203403e78c640c1a.png Maid For My Master is a cute romance visual novel about a young man who falls in love with a robot maid. The story is very light-hearted, and it was partially inspired by Chobits. The story contains a little bit of drama, but it does have a happy ending, and it doesn't contain any especially upsetting content. I think this would be a good story to read if you want something sweet and hopeful to cheer you up! https://clan.fastly.steamstatic.c |
| Cage of Roses has been released! | 2025-02-16 | Hello everyone! I'm writing a quick announcement to let you know that my newest VN, Cage of Roses, has finally been released! https://clan.fastly.steamstatic.com/images/33024327/341617e79554b0ba094ae0721a5f69a1dae11db3.png I say 'finally' because I wrote the script for this VN all the way back in early 2021. It took about 4 years for me to get this project pieced together, but I'm very glad that I stuck with it until the bitter end! I think the art by Rock CR and the music by Sarah Mancuso is especially lovely, and it really adds to the overall atmosphere of the story. They really went all-in on the pretty visuals and the ominous, eerie music |

It's a dour little VN set in the English countryside during the winter, so it'll be very bleak and cold and miserable! It's a story about a university student, Ethel, who's struggling to muster up the enthusiasm to work on her thesis while girlrotting in her parents' home in a teeny-tiny village. Stuck for inspiration, she goes for a |

I wrote the script back in 2021, and it took me a while to piece the whole story together. The Steam store page was up for over a year before I finally released it, so some people have been waiting on this one for a while haha It might have taken me some |
| My Lovey-Dovey Demon will be released soon! 💗 | 2023-12-14 | Hello everybody!

| Fragile Feelings released on Steam | 2023-10-12 | Hello everybody! \o/ I'm writing a post to let you know that I've released a shiny new yuri VN on Steam, Fragile Feelings! https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/33024327/a40cc7d58aa58e0ea60faba7ae19446517bb4650.png Fragile Feelings is a romance story about a shy young teacher and a gothic school nurse. It’s set in an isolated all-girls’ boarding school in the Japanese countryside and it has a relaxing, soothing atmosphere. The story does contain some serious moments, but it's generally positive in tone. Out of all of my previously released yuri VNs, it's probably the most similar to Blackberry Honey, even if the setting is pretty differe |
| Yuri VN The Fairy's Secret released on Steam | 2023-02-07 | Hi everyone! \o/ I’m writing this announcement to let you know that I've recently released a sequel to my cute yuri VN The Fairy’s Song called The Fairy’s Secret! The Fairy’s Secret is a linear visual novel set in modern day England which centres around the relationship between a grumpy goth and her medieval knight girlfriend. The story is of a similar length to the original Fairy’s Song and it has a similar tone. It’s quite a light-hearted story, for the most part, though there are some fantasy elements and a few moments of intrigue and mystery. The VN is available in both English and Simplified Chinese, and a German translation might happen |
| Yuri VN Dreamy Planet released on Steam | 2022-09-16 | Hi, everyone! I'm writing a post to let you know that my newest yuri VN, Dreamy Planet, has been released on Steam! https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33024327/1ba1a165e3cf69ff835d6d7765b82766941edf6f.png Dreamy Planet follows a troubled young woman called Haruka, who feels trapped in a loveless relationship with a man her parents introduced to her.

| Yuri VN 'My Dear Prince' released on Steam | 2021-05-03 | Hi everyone, I'm writing a quick post to let you know that my newest yuri VN, My Dear Prince, has been released on Steam! It's a cute, fluffy story with a focus on comedy and slice-of-life elements, set on a fictional Japanese island full of rabbits. The story details the developing relationship between the slightly neurotic lead, Momoka, and the cheery tomboy, Aoi. Tonally, it shares a lot of similarities with Strawberry Vinegar, so if you enjoyed this VN, there's a high chance you'll enjoy MDP too. I hope you like it, if you choose to check it out! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1288560/My_Dear_Prince/ - ebi x |
| Strawberry Vinegar Update | 2020-03-23 | Hi everyone, Just to let you know, I uploaded a new build of Strawberry Vinegar. This update changed a few things, including: slightly edited/updated UI a complete rework of the CG gallery code updated sound effects some small edits to the text (mostly rewording the odd sentence here and there I thought was awkward/stilted) and the sprites have blinking animations now. Amazing!!! I also compressed the sprites a bit, so now they take up less space. The game is about 500MB smaller because of it, so it should be quicker to download! These are all rather minor changes all around, but hopefully it adds some polish to this rather old release and br |
| Strawberry Vinegar update | 2018-11-22 | Hi guys, Just letting everyone know that I recently released an update for this VN. In this update, I... 1) Fixed a lot of typos and grammatical errors, as pointed out to me by a helpful proofreader 2) Edited a handful of scenes to make them 'flow' a bit better 3) Edited the animated fireworks effect, so it should no longer cause eye strain 4) Updated the game to the newest build of Ren'py, which should help it run more smoothly. Maybe? Well, the conversion certainly broke a bunch of my old code, which meant I had to redo it. Let's hope it was not in vain. If you find any more typos/bugs in this new build, be sure to let me know! I appreciate |
| A Winter's Daydream released on Steam! | 2018-10-16 | Hi everyone, I thought I'd let you know that my latest visual novel, A Winter's Daydream, has been released on Steam! A Winter's Daydream is a cute story about an elderly grandmother who magically transforms into a young girl! Wacky anime hijinks ensue. Like Strawberry Vinegar, A Winter's Daydream is a relatively light-hearted, relaxing story with some comedy elements. If you enjoyed one, you might enjoy the other! The story can be found here! https://store.steampowered.com/app/925340/A_Winters_Daydream/ - ebi x |
| AIdol released on Steam | 2018-04-26 | Hello everyone, I'm pleased to announce that my newest VN, AIdol, has been released on Steam! You can take a look at it here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/829210/AIdol/ It's rather cute and light-hearted in tone, and its interface is very pink, much like Strawberry Vinegar's. It's a mostly comedic slice of life story with some fluffy friendship scenes, so if you liked Strawberry Vinegar you might like this story too. I hope you check it out! - ebi x |
| Blackberry Honey now on Steam! | 2017-10-27 | Hi everyone, Just letting you know, my newest yuri visual novel, Blackberry Honey, has been released on Steam! And, despite the title, it's not really that similar to Strawberry Vinegar, haha ;;; (I'm just not good at titles). Blackberry Honey is set in the Victorian era in England, and it's about the love story between two lesbian maids. It has mature content and a happy ending, and it's a little longer than Strawberry Vinegar. The writing is also a little 'fancier'. You can check it out here, if you want! It's $12.99, with a 10% launch discount! http://store.steampowered.com/app/716340/Blackberry_Honey/ - ebi x |

These were pointed out a while ago, so I guess it's a bit bad I only got around to doing it now... But better late than never, I suppose...? In addition, I also added an option to change the textbox in the game. I got a few comments from people saying the textbox was too pale and it was hard to read the white text against it, so now there are five (a whole five!) different textboxes to choose from.
