Hey!

We usually share our updates on social media, but we decided to let you know about our progress here as well. Since we’re a small team, things sometimes take a bit longer, but every step forward is something we’re genuinely proud of.

So here’s a quick recap of what’s already done, what’s currently in progress, and what you can expect to see in the first demo, which is coming soon :)

Characters. Eva, Lilith, and…?

A fact we mention whenever we can: all of our characters are created completely from scratch, no AI.

You’ve already met Eva on our Steam page, and during the first few months we focused heavily on refining her look and personality. What we love about her is that she doesn’t feel like just a “pretty girl asset”. And we truly hope you’ll feel and appreciate that when you experience the game yourself.

Lilith is the second romanceable character in the game. Working on her definitely took more than just a day as well. Her influence on the story would be a spoiler, so for now we are simply admiring her dangerous beauty, which also took a lot of effort <3

But would a modern visual novel really give you a choice of only two girls?... More is coming soon 🖤

Locations

At the moment, we’ve completed almost all of the locations. Here are four of them that we’d love to share with you:

The city street

The town center

The train

And of course, player's apartaments…

We still need to polish and, of course, show you a few more key places. But we are really trying to keep the quality bar high with our new art style <3
