Development Update + Demo Release Date

Hi, I'm Lyyycaena, the solo creator of Your Crown is Mine.

Development Update:
Finished coding and writing one third of the game's content; planned the entire story. Still fixing bugs in the demo, testing / improving it, and adding more artwork. For new art/screenshots or to try the early prototype version, you can check my devlog posts. I have posted development updates there at least once a month and will continue to do so.

Frequently Asked Questions / FAQs:
Q: When will the game and demo be released?
Full game = 2026. Demo = July/August 2025. Demo may receive updates afterwards.

Q: How much will the game cost when it’s released?
Around $10 to 20 (USD). Steam will adjust this for different countries’ living costs. If you think this is too high/low, feel free to let me know.

Q: How many hours of content does the game and demo have?
Getting to one main ending takes 8-20 hours, depending on the route, your choices, and reading speed. You can do multiple play-throughs or replay from saved slots to see other endings/ choices, which would add more gameplay time. The demo will have 1-2 hours gameplay in total.

[Beta Test] Play the early prototype version for free now!

Hi, I’m the solo creator of the villainess life sim game, Your Crown is Mine. Big update today— you can play the early prototype version for free!

Warning: it is a very early, unfinished version. There will be mistakes and bugs, which I will fix later. I also have a lot to do to polish and improve it. It is very short (5-10 mins playtime). There are some placeholder images and text which will be changed later. I haven't added sound or music yet.

A better (and longer) free demo will be out this summer with everything improved on Steam, and the full release of the game will be even better.

Here are some new screenshots of the game (not all are in the prototype):


If you don’t want to play an unpolished prototype, then wait for the demo on Steam this summer! If you wishlisted or followed the game, then you'll be notified when the demo or full game is released.

If you are interested in testing this early unfinished version: Get the prototype version from my newsletter! You will get downloadable zip files for Windows/Mac/Linux. If you haven't already, subscribe to the newsletter for free so you can get updates/devlogs and bonus content. When you subscribe, I will also send the link to the prototype version for you to test. If that doesn't work, please email me!

Please share your feedback on the game by email at [email protected]. I appreciate it a lot :D Thank you for your support!

What's next:
I will be busy from now until June due to schoolwork and exams, but below are the important dates for the future. I've finished creating the base code and artwork for the game, so next, I need to write the script fully, draw more CGs, and write music. I am also planning to work with others for localisation (translation) into other languages. Currently, I want to do Chinese and Japanese, but more might be added too.

July/August 2025 = Release of a polished free demo on Steam
2026 = Release of the full game
