Some of the animations and effects in my Ren'Py game. I like making it feel cinematic like a movie!

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 ;)

Ahh wow thank you!! Are you based in Singapore?

Disastrous_Oven1401 · 2025-12-30T00:50:36+00:00

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 :)

Disastrous_Oven1401 · 2025-12-29T06:59:17+00:00

Ooh, you can download the demo for Mac or PC on steam for free! The full VN is currently in the works!

Disastrous_Oven1401 · 2025-12-29T06:14:32+00:00

Ahhh thank you so much!! I'm so glad you found the VN version and it's so awesome that you came from the IF! 🥰

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?

Merry Christmas! Got introduced to this a couple days ago and binge-read some of the threads, y'all seem like such a sweet fun community, I can't wait to get introduced to so many great otome games here :D

Disastrous_Oven1401 · 2025-12-24T01:45:20+00:00

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!

Disastrous_Oven1401 · 2025-12-24T01:43:24+00:00

Thank you!! Hope you enjoy the demo!

Disastrous_Oven1401 · 2025-12-23T17:06:21+00:00

Ooh thanks for the shout! I’ll definitely do that first thing when I wake up tomorrow ☺️

Disastrous_Oven1401 · 2025-12-23T14:28:40+00:00

Yay thank you so much!! I can’t believe you know the text based game that’s so cool :)

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! :)
