It gets so lonely here

About this game

You are running through a forest.

It is late at night and the sky is as black as pitch.

The trees which surround you, jutting out of the earth like eerie monuments to a foreign god, are blotting out most of the moonlight.

You do not know where you are going.

You have no map; no route; no plan.

You have no desire, as you run, save to escape.

You cannot let yourself be caught.

All you can do is run, on and on and on...

But, despite all of your hard work, your best efforts will, invariably, be in vain. It’s already too late for you. After all...

You’ll never be able to escape from me.

  Cute yuri visual novel The Demon Queen's Dire Dilemma has been released!

  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 https://clan.fastly.steamstatic.com/images/33024327/8c7bc12b2eab3bef9daef66ecc7745e9527655af.png You can find the visual novel on Steam here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3446430/The_Demon_Queens_Dire_Dilemma/ This VN also takes place in the same universe as my previously released BL visual novel My Confounding Cat is Criminally Cute, so you might want to check them both out if you want to spot some of the cameos and references. Both Demon Queen and Confounding Cat are standalone stories, however, so you don't need to read them both to enjoy the other. Still, if you want to read Confounding Cat, you can do so here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2685600/My_Confounding_Cat_is_Criminally_Cute/ - ebi x

  The Demon Queen's Dire Dilemma will be released soon!

  Hi everyone, I'm making a quick announcement to let you know that I'll be releasing a shiny new yuri visual novel, The Demon Queen's Dire Dilemma, on Steam Soon™! https://clan.fastly.steamstatic.com/images/33024327/37fb10716fa2eca80cc70f781b6dc41ee2f51d80.png The Demon Queen's Dire Dilemma is a short comedy story about a failgirl demon queen who's trying (and failing) to get her ditzy human maid to fear her. 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 just needs another round of quality checking, and then it can be released! I'm not sure when the QC will be finished, but I'm hoping to release the VN either late Feb or early March. If you want to be notified when the VN is out, you can wishlist it here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3446430/The_Demon_Queens_Dire_Dilemma/ And Demon Queen actually takes place in the same universe as my cutesy all ages BL visual novel, My Confounding Cat is Criminally Cute. If you want to check that out, you can do so here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2685600/My_Confounding_Cat_is_Criminally_Cute/ As always, thank you for the support over the years! It's appreciated! I'll keep working hard to make stories that people can enjoy! - ebi x

  Cute yuri visual novel Out of the Ocean has been released!

  ​Hello everyone, I'm making an announcement to let you know that my cute yuri visual novel, ​Out of the Ocean​, has been released! 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 150k and it has multiple choices/endings, so that's exciting hehe :) If you like this sort of format, please let me know. I've been thinking about making some more long yuri visual novels with multiple heroines, choices, and branching, so if this visual novel does well, I might create other VNs like this in the future with longer, more detailed routes. You can find the visual novel here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3616970/Out_of_the_Ocean/ ​ Thank you, as always, for your support! It's appreciated!​ I'll keep doing my best to create more stories that people can enjoy! - ebi x

  Out of the Ocean demo has been updated!

  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 sure if I'll need to push back the estimated release date until January 2026. I did upload a shiny new demo of the visual novel to Steam, however, which is a little longer than the older demo. In addition to have a few extra scenes, the new demo is a little more polished in terms of visual effects and music placement, and there's an early 'bad ending' you can unlock if you make certain choices. https://clan.fastly.steamstatic.com/images/33024327/0b3018c6468c6a8fa3d2b9144c20503ddb1ae336.png I hope you enjoy the new demo, and I hope you're looking forward to the final release! I'll keep working hard to make the visual novel as polished as it can be! If you're interested, you can check out the demo (and wislist the VN) on Steam here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3616970/Out_of_the_Ocean As always, thank you all for your support!
