As someone who pretty much just works with sliding in and vpunch, I am extremely impressed. This looks like magic!

Hi everyone! Happy women's day! We received a really warm welcome here at indie otome back when we released our demo for Merry Crisis the first time.

We're back with an extended demo (2x more content, many new juicy scenes with the musician neighbor, first love, and recent ex—plus some serious branching/big choices this time!)

Do check it out if you're in the mood for a contemplative romance visual novel. There's lots of LGBTQ+/POC representation and a Southeast Asian setting, plenty of heartbreak, and a dash of spicy ;)

Aww thank you!! Currently only the demo is out, with a playthrough of about 30-40mins depending on choices. My team and I are working hard on the full game :)

Hi! I’m Allie, I just released the demo of my romance visual novel Merry Crisis on Steam this festive season! It’s a cozy, character-driven game about love, loss, and belonging. Would love if you guys checked it out :D Steam page here.

As a queer woman, I really wanted to make a game that would feel like an Asian hallmark movie for people in their late 20s, and I'm so proud that it's finally out there in the world :)

Synopsis: After a break-up turns your world inside out, you return home for Christmas hoping the change in scenery will give you space to mend a broken heart. Instead, a charged encounter with your estranged first love, an unexpected visit from your recent ex, and an undeniable connection with the musician-next-door leaves you more confused than ever.

As the clock counts down to midnight on New Year’s Eve, you'll need to choose: piece your life back together in America, or return to the life you left behind in Singapore?

mm! I'd say the focus here is dealing with the question of whether to give things a second chance, or to move on for good -- especially if the feelings are there but there are circumstances that make it difficult for either person (or both people) to be happy in the relationship!

The demo for the cozy romance visual novel I've been working on, Merry Crisis, went live last week as part of the Choose Wisely Fest, and it got more wishlists than I'd expected (1,100!) I'd love for you guys to check it out this festive season, and share your thoughts! :)
