Hi everyone! I'm the solo dev behind Fate’s Masquerade, an otome game inspired by my unhealthy obsession with romance fantasy. 

You play as a rather unhinged fallen noble who enters the palace to uncover the truth of your past, where you can harass, I mean impress, a cold prince renowned for his military prowess. Or play with fire by engaging with a scheming prince who is just as likely to fall in love with you as he is to kill you… Or maybe he’ll do both. At the same time. 😨😏

The game is completely wholesome… if you ignore all the bloody deaths, gaslighting, backstabbing (you can even engage in some of your own stabby stab 🔪), and mature themes. Every choice matters, and there are currently 8 (and counting) true endings, with many, many more untimely early deaths/endings.

And yes, I would love to make full spicy scenes as DLC for any thirsty ladies out there like myself if there’s enough demand.

In terms of animation, the characters are rigged using Live2D, so they blink, breathe, and move between poses and expressions (it's hard to describe, you’ll need to check it out for yourself).

The free demo on Steam has just been updated with new art, story, background, music, and 7 brand new early death/endings to explore.

If you like the vibe, please consider adding it to your wishlist, and if you enjoyed the demo, please leave the demo a review. Your support will directly supercharge my determination towards finishing the game ❤️!

Just sharing a key art of meeting the main love interest in the otome I'm illustrating.

Hi everyone!

We released a new Saintess of the Golden Bow demo for Otome Games Celebration 2026. A lot has happened to the game since Kickstarter in 2025, and we were able to make significant improvements to the writing, art, music and sound in the game.

The new demo features:

• 50 percent rewritten and smoothed content
• New backgrounds
• New side character sprites
• The Affection System - now you will be able to see what influence your choices have on the affection of Noah, Levi and Elijah
• New music including character themes from Marek Domagała
• New sound effects for the demons the party fights
• 3 endings, depending on your affection levels

Hope you enjoy the new demo if you decide to pick it up for the first time or revisit the game to see the changes we made.

If you like the demo, we would greatly appreciate it if you wishlisted us on Steam.

Also My Wife is a Spy?! demo is back up if you haven't tried that yet. Nothing new there besides some typo fixes and improvements to the graphical user interface.

Hey everyone!

Some of you might remember my V1.3 demo update post here a few months ago, I'm back with another progress update, because Petting Lover has hit a few new milestones and we're also entering the final week of our Kickstarter campaign 🌸

Short recap: Petting Lover is an indie kemonomimi otome / VN set in a veterinary university. You play a new student tangled up with three boys: Dane (loyal dog senior 🐶), Ark (rabbit professor, gentle & brainy 🐰), and a cat LI 🐱, each connected to a different animal, each carrying something they're not ready to tell you yet.

🌸 What's been happening since V1.3

Demo V1.35 (live now):

• Chinese voice acting added for Dane and Frey
• Mac build alongside Windows
• General polish pass on the prologue

Demo V1.4 (in active development, this is the big one):

• First chapter that includes the actual Petting System — the touch-interactive CG mechanic the game is named after
• Currently testing the first interactive CG scenes: where you touch, how long you linger, and when you do it all shape how the LI responds
• One leans into your hand. One pretends he doesn't notice. One bites.

Honestly this part has been the hardest and most personal part of development. The whole reason I started teaching myself Ren'Py was to build a VN where intimacy isn't just narrated, it's something the player actually does. Watching the first version of it come together in code has been surreal.

🐾 Kickstarter — final week

We're currently at around 85% funded with 117 backers, heading into the final 6 days. The funding is what unlocks the rest of voice acting, the remaining CGs, and the budget I need to keep developing instead of stopping to take freelance.

💭 Feedback I'd love

• For fellow Otome devs: How did you handle the moment when a new core mechanic first transitions from "concept" to "actual playable build"? V1.4 is my first time integrating a mechanic this central into the existing demo flow and I'd love to hear what other devs experienced.
• For anyone who's played the demo: If you've tried V1.35 and have any thoughts on what you'd want from the Petting System chapters, what kinds of interactions would feel meaningful to you? I'm still tuning the design.

Thanks for letting me share the journey here as always 🐾

Всем добрый, делаем проект с тёплым вайбом, секретиками и юмором.

После окончания школы Кирсу отправляют жить к родному дяде, хозяину общежития.

Прибыв, девушка узнаёт, что её любимый постаревший и пристрастившийся к пиву дядя страдает от потерь памяти и сдаёт комнаты не людям, а самым разным сверхъествественным существам, которые пытаются ужиться друг с другом под одной крышей и слиться с человеческим обществом.

Мир, который Кирса начинает познавать, оказывается куда сложнее, чем она думала. И теперь ей предстоит узнать, какие же секреты хранит её дядя и их необычные соседи.

Уже готово демо на 2+ часов, сейчас занимаемся разработкой 1-гой главы.
Особенности:

• Игра включает 21 день, которые будут разделены на 4 большие главы. По мере развития основного сюжета, игроки будут проходить арки персонажей (в количестве 6-ти штук), которые все переплетутся между собой в конце.
• Не смотря на сюжетную направленность, в игре есть романтическая составляющая в выборе 4-х партнёров.
• Мини-игры для погружения в атмосферу.
• Полностью отрисованная человеком графика.
• Полностью созданная человеком музыка специально для проекта (для демо 13 треков, для 1-ой главы уже больше 18)

Буду рада фидбеку~

Hello r/ IndieOtome. I'm not sure if this is allowed, but if it's against your sub rules, I apologize, and mods, feel free to remove the post (I'm not affiliated with this event, but just want to share with the community).

I just found out about the Otome Games Celebration Festival on Steam, but sadly there's only a few days left until it's finished (May 11).

Link to the Steam Festival: https://store.steampowered.com/developer/crystalgameworks/sale/otomegamescelebration2026 (you can still visit after the fest is finished to find otome games)

Here's the link to their youtube showcase (it's about 30 min long): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRVCCt5u5sc

Happy shopping, everyone!🌻

The update includes...

• 2-3 hrs of route progression
• Choices that could lead to early exit bad endings
• 4 new CGs and menu art
• Social media gameplay (bad ends are in, so be careful!)

It is one of the goals of my otome and yuri visual novel, The Community Notes Are Wrong, to show how biphobia impacts the female protagonist in a way that's not just misogyny and homophobia.

Two people stood on the bridge. They smiled and looked into each other's eyes. Suddenly, the boy whispered.

"I know everything."

The girl shuddered with terror. A third participant in the drama entered the scene - a knife. The corpse fell and disappeared into the raging river.

But that's for the last day. As of right now.......

Features:

* 6 unique endings.

* >19 CG

* Walkthrough: 40-50 minutes
