I tried out Pre-Odyssey on Tuesday and ohhh my god, this game was such a fun time! We were able to fully finish the game and we chose to marry Odysseus (there's a friendship ending) and omfg. This Ody? 100% my type, 10/10~ Thank you again, @neoclassicgames.bsky.social for the game key!

Finished Pre-Odyssey: Love at First Quack, an indie otome made by a filo dev 💖 Really fun and I laughed a lot! (It has duck-related puns) I love both Penelope and Odysseus! They're both so cute (Odysseus is a lil menace but i love him, still)

Happy #InternationalAsexualityDay to all my fellow Aces!! 💜🤍🖤 Did you know that all of my games have AT LEAST 1 ace character? 👀 Aspen (Where Winter Crows Go), Fay (Reynard, Mystic Cipher) & Fawna (Killer Trait) are just a few of my ace OCs 🥰💖! I myself am gray ace! 🎉 Art: @antares252.bsky.social

A drawing of Aspen (from my game Where Winter Crows Go), Fay (from my game Reynard and upcoming game Mystic Cipher) and Fawna (from Killer Trait) holding flags!

Aspen, on the left, is holding a graysexual flag. They have red hair and are smiling with their mouth open and eyes closed.

Fay, in the middle, is holding an asexual flag. She has light brown hair and heterochromia (one eye is green and the other one is golden) and is smiling with her mouth closed.

Fawna, on the right, is holding a demisexual flag. She has pink hair and is smiling with her mouth open and her eyes closed.
