It feels so special to be part of an event like this for the first time. I'm so glad I gave it my best despite how terribly busy I was haha. The comments people have shared with me have really brought me to tears 😭 It feels surreal. My dream has always been to move at least one single soul.

Chimériquement - nuit blanche; released! @chimeriquement.itch.io · 09/09/2026

two weeks since this released for #yaoijam, so let me share some feedback i got about the game: "wow, it was SO [SWEET], my [5-YO NEPHEW] loved it!!" "we [NEED] more [OPTIMISTIC] stories like that!!!!" "this game [FIXED ME]" "[HEARTFELT] story about a lad [LEARNING TO ACCEPT HIMSELF]" cozy times 🥰

A man named "Narcisse", visibly pissed, screaming "SHUT THE FUCK UP!"

A photography of three men.
The first one is covered with red scribbles, amongst which the following words: "ASSHOLE", "FUCK YOU"
The second one is covered with black scribbles, amongst which the word "TRASH"
The last one is surrounded by hearts; he looks uncomfortable and he's trembling

A man seen from the back; his body is all red, so are the stars behind him. A line under him: "What I need to do is to feel him in my ass."

Final work on my game!! #VN I figured out how to add in-engine lighting to the character sprites!! First pic is how it looked before. I'm so happy I had enough time to add this feature! A huge thanks to my partner, the one who coded the whole system based on my crazy idea. For #YaoiGameJam 2026!

Narration: "Of such scenes did the most beautiful of all cherubs dream."

Enoch: "Ah! That is well. The days are at their most bitter just now, and it is important that you keep yourself warm."

I love the part when my angelic beautiful mermaid boytoy decides in the VN writing room to turn into... whatever this is. #yaoijam is going amazing if you can't tell.

ellipsus snippet from "Dead // Dying Fish", reading:

Vetta “Pah! Enough of that! You may call me Vetta, savior of cute boys who like doing the exact opposite of skinny dipping."

“He puffs his chest out, boastful as he plants a hand over his breast.”

Vetta "I think that’s a worthwhile title."
