Demian's True Love (Part 2) Romance Route Released

Hello everybody,

We hope you all had a great Christmas. It is my pleasure to announce that the final part of Demian's True Love romance route, is now released.

We spent literally half a year to craft this story, and lots of blood + sweat + tears were put into making this game. Me and MadhattersTwin (the Kickstarter backer) spent months working on this, and we are extremely happy with the result. I only hope you will all enjoy playing it as much as we did making it.

Now we have the following 5 stories still left to create, all from the Kickstarter campaign we ran way back in 2019. They are:

  • Demian and Candice Romance Route
  • Prequel bonus story
  • Diane's Romance Route
  • Adeline's Romance Route
  • Candice's Romance Route

The 3 female romance routes will have 4 endings each, just like the 3 male romance routes (Aldo, Chris, Errol) but the prequel and Demian + Candice story will most likely be a little different, depending on what Sonya decides to do. They might be linear stories with no choices, so it'll be like a kinetic story, but since the goal is the finish all these stories by May 2022, we will do everything we can to meet this deadline.

Then, when the game is completely finished, we can finish the art book and add the digital artbook as a DLC to the Steam copy of the game. It won't be free unfortunately and we haven't decided on a price yet, but it will be the same as what the other Kickstarter backers paid for the digital artbook. Physical hardcover artbooks will only be sent out to Kickstarter backers who have pledged for $100 and up.

Some have also asked us whether or not we will include a CG gallery feature in the game. Unfortunately no, instead we have decided that we will include all the CG illustrations in a zip file available for download as a DLC, completely free, as long as you bought a copy of the game on Steam.

That's all I have for now, thanks for supporting this game, we hope you enjoy the finale to Demian's True Love!

Ciao~

Demian's True Love (Part 1) Romance Route Released

Hey y'all, today we are releasing Demian's True Love (Part 1) Romance Route!

This route is a special story for a Kickstarter backer who wanted her character to be Demian's soul mate in the Café Rouge story, so we crafted this special romance route for all the Demian fans out there who want to date Demian (but couldn't in the main story because well, it'd be weird for Isis, the MC, to date him) as well as create a new character named Niara to be Demian's one, and only, love of his life.

The synopsis of the story is:

After Isis and Antoine's joyous reunion, Demian comes to work, as usual, only to find the door mysteriously unlocked. As he ventures inside, he finds a young woman inside Café Rouge. Who could she be, and why was she at the café all alone at night?


Ever since the beginning of Summer, both Madhatter (the Kickstarter Backer) and I have been working hard to bring this new story to you guys. We decided to make it extra long because we wanted this story to be special, since many people want to get to know the character Demian more, so we put in a lot of hard work to bring a whole new romance route to you guys.

We sincerely hope that you enjoy this special treat we brought to all of you, and we will continue working on this story until we finish it on Christmas day 2021 to release the final part.

For how, please enjoy this first half of Demian's True Love's story. :)

Errol's Romance Route released

Heya guys/gals!

Errol's romance route was released this evening, so happy early Valentine's day!

All of the 6 available male love interests have been complete, so all that's left is the bonus side stories and the female romance routes.

Here is the list of stories left to complete:
  1. Diane's romance route
  2. Adeline's romance route
  3. Candice's romance route
  4. Demian's true love story
  5. Demian and Candice story
  6. Prequel bonus story

Unfortunately, our writer Kristi had to stop writing after finishing writing the 3 extra male love interests' routes (Aldo, Chris, Errol) so I (Sonya) will be taking over as writer again.

What this basically means is that the 6 stories left will take more time than originally planned, so it won't be until 2022 where we can start releasing the digital art book, and complete the whole game.

However, for now, please enjoy Errol's romance route! We hope you have fun reading his story :)

Chris's Romance Route released

Hey y'all, just letting you guys know that Chris's romance route is now released! Enjoy this new route!

Starting 2021, we will aim to release 1 route monthly, instead of two months intervals like we did Aldo and Chris's routes.

Anyway, enjoy Chris's romance route, Kristi and I worked really hard on it :D

Aldo's Romance Route Released

Hello everyone!

We have a big update. Many, many bugs were fixed, and we have finally updated the UI of the settings and load screens. Yes, we have proper UI now instead of using the CloudNovel defaults.

We also added a new CG to the main story, where Valen gives Isis his jacket, there is now a new CG.

Lastly and importantly, we have added the first Kickstarter stretch goal to the game, Aldo's romance route. His romance story is now added, and you can romance Aldo the chef. We will release Chris's side story next!

We hope you enjoy the new updates, and if anyone has anymore problems, let us know.

Have a happy Halloween everyone, and read up on some vampire romance this spooky week! >:D
