As summertime on the moon comes to a close, the residents of Crescent Vale know how to end with a bang "Emmett, are you sure that you should be that close?" "It's fine! I did this all the time as a kid and nothing bad ever happened!" #WtMBGame #indiegame #visualnovel #datingsim

A group of chibi-fied characters are seen enjoying a picnic by the beach at night. Several are lounging, while one seems to be about to light some sparklers

A large explosion of colour is seen behind one character in the foreground taking a selfie, implied to be a result of disastrous mistakes while lighting the sparkler

Introducing the love interests for 'The Narrator Says We're Meant to Be!', our upcoming amare visual novel! You can romance a pathetic prince, or... the game's own narrator!? Coming soon! #VNDev #amare #otome

Julian:
The hottest guy on campus, Julian is a princely man who everyone adores and a talented artist whose work is described as 'perfect.'

Is he really as put-together as he seems, though? Could there be cracks in this perfection...?

The voice that narrates your story. A stubborn man who insists his advice is TOTALLY just a professional thing. Nothing more.

It's not like he's interested in living a romance of his own or anything.
