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

To that end I'm starting a new bundle to benefit a layoffs hardship fund. Game devs: please consider submitting your PAID games to the bundle, which will launch in July.

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.
