Let me convince you to play my clown romance visual novel Harlequinade in just 20 seconds 💖

1. You can customize the player character / MC by picking their design, their name, and pronouns. You can even play as a set female protagonist with her own backstory, if you want the classic otome game feel!
2. Your love interests are the confident Harlequin Lynn and the shy Pierrot Giles! Each route has multiple endings depending on your choices and how much you trust the love interests.
3. There's a free demo for Harlequinade to play on Steam & itchio that lets you meet the love interests and see the beginning of the game~

If you like horror romance visual novels, commedia dell'arte, and cute clowns then check it out!

Happy Fall! ✨️ Finally out of summer and into my favorite season of the year, autumn~ It's finally getting cooler outside and actually feels like October is just around the corner.
For October I have a lot of exciting things to work on, namely Harlequinade! The demo works great on Steam Deck, as you can see here. October is the perfect month for carnivals and clowns, don't you agree? I'm planning on finishing my Pierrot Giles' route in the next few days and then working on the Harlequin Lynn's route. Several bad ends for Giles' route have already been written, so all thats left is pretty much just his true ending epilogue. A lot of people seem to like him more than Lynn, so I hope you'll enjoy his route! He's a sweet boy and just needs someone by his side who believes in him and can help show him how to speak up for himself. Will that be you~?

New art timelapse! Here's one of the CGs for Harlequinade, featuring our Harlequin Lynn 💖
This scene will be added to the updated demo soon that's on Steam and itchio! I wanted to make a sort of whimsical feeling cutscene for both Lynn and Giles when they're performing, to make things feel even more fun~

I will always love physical media and turning my art & games into physical media & merch 💕 releasing games digitally is easy but turning it into something you can hold in your hands is a different feeling altogether.
these are some of the physical copies of my romance visual novels & otome games as well as my boys love and otome game merch, all available on my Kofi~

help me design a side character in my clown romance visual novel Harlequinade! this is Polly, a side performer at the carnival who's based on Pulcinella in commedia dell'arte. Pulcinella has a simple design with whites and reds, so I wanted to incorporate other themes into her outfit while keeping a similar color scheme. I think the red / deep pink hair is pretty cute, but what do you think? should she have some blonde or brown highlights, or maybe make the dress red?
you'll be able to meet her in the updated demo for Harlequinade later this year~ you can already try it on Steam & itchio!

We're back from a small break! Progress on Harlequinade is going smoothly—our sweet Pierrot Giles' route is almost completely written, and we now have some new artwork of him 💜
We will be doing a Kickstarter to help fund the rest of the game soon as well as do a small demo update in the next couple of months, to show off more of the carnival and cast of characters in the full visual novel! If you haven't already, try the Harlequinade demo out on Steam & itchio if you like clowns and romance visual novels~
