About this game
Adashima Haru was born in the lap of luxury. He lives with his mother in the heart of Kyoto, in a spacious home with servants to tend to his every need. Haru has everything a young man could ever want…
At a glance, at least.
In actuality, however, Haru’s life isn’t so perfect.
Haru’s mother is stern and controlling, and she dictates every facet of Haru’s life. She is adamant that Haru should dress like a woman, and she constantly berates him for not behaving like a young lady.
Haru's life is dull and uninteresting... until he runs into a thief, Kishou, during a rare shopping excursion.
After discovering that Haru is a young man, not a young woman, Kishou breaks into Haru’s home in the dead of night in an attempt to blackmail him – and, in so doing, Kishou’s destiny becomes irrevocably entwined with Haru’s.
On that fateful night, Haru and Kishou are set a task: to travel the country slaying monsters, so that they might break a centuries-old curse that has plagued Haru’s family for generations.

Extra Chapter of BL VN All Scars and Starlight has been released!
Hello everyone! I've been working on this project for a while, and I'm proud to announce that I've released some DLC for my grimdark boys 'love' visual novel, All Scars and Starlight. https://clan.fastly.steamstatic.com/images/33024327/1ee7b35019a5a9402a2d6188f4c7c4960cb361b2.png Scars is a BL story about a king whose throne was stolen from him in a coup, and the romance(?) which unfolds between the deposed king and his captor. As one might expect from the premise, it's rather grim, the characters have an incredibly unhealthy relationship dynamic, and there's a lot of drama. This is also an r18 visual novel with a fair amount of explicit scenes, so it is not appopriate for anybody under the age of 18. https://clan.fastly.steamstatic.com/images/33024327/fb5691e059eba55c88397ffab76e1f78b1914f81.png The DLC adds about 80,000 words extra to the story, and it takes place one year after the 'good' and 'true' endings, but before the timeskip to the epilogues of both endings. To read the bonus chapter, you need to update the base game, buy the DLC, then read through either the 'good' or 'true' ending. You should be able to access the DLC after that. Please note: you will need to clear these two endings again, even if you achieved them once already, because I had to edit the code of the game a little to allow for the DLC to unlock. You can find the base game here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2827190/All_Scars_and_Starlight/ And the DLC here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4279090/All_Scars_and_Starlight__Extra_chapter/ I hope you enjoy it, if miserable anime boys crying a lot are your thing! I know they're mine! You should heed the content warnings for this VN carefully, though, since there's some dark stuff here. - ebi xRead full article on Community Announcements (ebihime)AnnouncementsOfficial
Cute BL VN Where the Heart Rests has been released!
Hi everyone, Quick post to let you know that my cute new BL visual novel Where the Heart Rests has been released. It's a wholesome slice of life story inspired by the anime Usagi Drop. It's about a couple of men who adopt a young child. There's a lot of domestic fluff here, and some yearning between the two adult leads. The romantic relationship is a bit of a slowburn, and it's kind of lowkey. There's also a fair bit of hurt/comfort here because I think it's cute! This should be a nice read for people who like cosy and cute romance stories with relatively low stakes and some light drama. https://clan.fastly.steamstatic.com/images/33024327/b42dabbf4075a2c61a31bbea295c85d2329bfea6.png https://clan.fastly.steamstatic.com/images/33024327/55e0748c4d06143f246b1749b7c484d0ada9496a.png You can buy the VN here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4099090/ But please read the mature content warning. There is no r18 content in this visual novel, but it might contain some themes which would upset people. - ebi xRead full article on Community Announcements (ebihime)AnnouncementsOfficial
Beneath the Bleeding Moon has been released!
Hello everybody, I'm making an announcement to let you know that Beneath the Bleeding Moon has (finally) been released! https://clan.fastly.steamstatic.com/images/33024327/70b21da0c6eb39cb7c621a16a085042789719102.png I first showed off the demo of this VN 2 years ago, so getting it across the finish line was a bit of a challenge haha ;; I persevered, however, and now the full visual novel is out! Bleeding Moon is a historical boys' love visual novel set in Japan. Follow Haru, a cross-dressing young man, as he goes on a journey with the devious thief, Kishou, to break an ancient curse. Bleeding Moon is a little different from my usual visual novels in that it's less of a character drama and more of an adventure story. There's quite a few fight scenes, and it's (generally) light-hearted in tone, though there are a few darker moments. https://clan.fastly.steamstatic.com/images/33024327/58a3b3f6c751b8dc76294c111b49a75b8e9c367a.png There's also an r18 patch for anybody who wants it, which adds about 20k more words to the story and several animated(!!!) r18 scenes. This is the first time I've added animated adult CGs into any of my VNs, so I hope people enjoy it. You can check the VN out here if you're curious: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2553080 Thank you for all of your support over the years! It's appreciated! I'll keep working hard to make more visual novels that people will enjoy! - ebi xRead full article on Community Announcements (ebihime)
