Rituals in the Dark News

Hi everyone,

I'm making a quick announcement to let you know that I'll be releasing a shiny new yuri visual novel, The Demon Queen's Dire Dilemma, on Steam Soon™!



The Demon Queen's Dire Dilemma is a short comedy story about a failgirl demon queen who's trying (and failing) to get her ditzy human maid to fear her. Lady Asmodeus is supposed to be a terrifying, all-powerful despot, so why does Lisette enjoy doting on her so much?! What's going on?!?!?!

The VN is mostly finished, and a near complete build has been approved for release by Steam. The VN just needs another round of quality checking, and then it can be released!
I'm not sure when the QC will be finished, but I'm hoping to release the VN either late Feb or early March.

If you want to be notified when the VN is out, you can wishlist it here:

And Demon Queen actually takes place in the same universe as my cutesy all ages BL visual novel, My Confounding Cat is Criminally Cute. If you want to check that out, you can do so here:

​Hello everyone,

I'm making an announcement to let you know that my cute yuri visual novel, ​Out of the Ocean​, has been released! It's a cute and wholesome story with two love interests (including a mermaid girl), a potential poly ending, and a whole load of adorable art!

​

If you want to read something relaxing and light-hearted, then this is the visual novel for you. It's pretty sweet (though there is a little dash of drama), and I'm very happy with how it turned out! It's actually one of my longest yuri visual novels, since it sits at around 150k and it has multiple choices/endings, so that's exciting hehe :)

If you like this sort of format, please let me know. I've been thinking about making some more long yuri visual novels with multiple heroines, choices, and branching, so if this visual novel does well, I might create other VNs like this in the future with longer, more detailed routes.

You can find the visual novel here:

Hi everyone,

I'm writing a quick post to let you know that I've been hard at work these last couple of months on my cute yuri visual novel feat. a mermaid girl, Out of the Ocean. The VN is very close to being finished, and it's been fully coded and edited save for one ending out of a possible five.



I'm still waiting on one art asset and the finalised trailer, but other than that, the VN is done. I'm hoping I'll be able to release it some time in December, but as we're nearing the end of the year and the winter sales will soon be upon us, I'm not sure if I'll need to push back the estimated release date until January 2026.

I did upload a shiny new demo of the visual novel to Steam, however, which is a little longer than the older demo. In addition to have a few extra scenes, the new demo is a little more polished in terms of visual effects and music placement, and there's an early 'bad ending' you can unlock if you make certain choices.



I hope you enjoy the new demo, and I hope you're looking forward to the final release! I'll keep working hard to make the visual novel as polished as it can be!

If you're interested, you can check out the demo (and wislist the VN) on Steam here:

Hi everyone! I'm just making a quick post to let you know that my spooky yuri visual novel, Her Love, Like Poison, has been released!



If you've read any of my other yuri VNs, then Her Love, Like Poison might look familiar. The character art is by the same artist of my previously released yandere yuri visual novel, It gets so lonely here, and the UI is in a similar style.

I wrote Her Love, Like Poison pretty soon after finishing up Lonely (I must have been in the mood for more toxic yuri set in the woods), so while the two stories are unrelated, they might be a little bit similar tone-wise.



In any case, I hope you enjoy the story if you do check it out! It's quite a short game, so it's priced accordingly (it's $6.99 with a 10% launch discount).

You can pick it up here if you're interested:

Hello everyone! I'm writing a quick announcement to let you know that my newest VN, Cage of Roses, has finally been released!



I say 'finally' because I wrote the script for this VN all the way back in early 2021. It took about 4 years for me to get this project pieced together, but I'm very glad that I stuck with it until the bitter end!

I think the art by Rock CR and the music by Sarah Mancuso is especially lovely, and it really adds to the overall atmosphere of the story. They really went all-in on the pretty visuals and the ominous, eerie music, and I think it all comes together really nicely!

It's been a dream of mine to write a spooky vampire story for over a decade, and I'm very happy I was finally able to do that. I hope I did the idea justice!



You can check out the VN here if you're interested:

Please let me know if you run into any bugs or typos, and I'll do my best to fix them within a reasonable timeframe.

Thank you, as always, for your support over the years. It's very much appreciated, and I hope you'll all enjoy my newest yuri story!
