Orli Anticia (Can be renamed)

Originally working as a detective at the Clark's Detective Agency in the city, she temporarily moved to Usodar town due to a sudden and mysterious commission. She has a cheerful and kind personality, with strong powers of observation and intuition.

She has a difficult childhood shadow that cannot be erased.

Dane Godioby

CV: Nick Chang

A resident of Usodar Town. He is the new landlord of MC and runs a pet café downstairs from her office. Dane is a gentle big brother next door, and makes world-class delicious coffee. He takes great care of MC and is always the first to come to her aid whenever she's in danger. It seems that he knows everything about MC, even to the point of being a little obsessive.

Luke Errahwin

CV: John Patneaude

A spy investigator who came from out of town a few months ago.

Exuding an air of idleness and nonchalance. He quickly won over the hearts of the locals with his charming demeanor and warm personality. Little did they know, he had a hidden agenda. It seems that a certain trait of MC has caught his attention, and he keeps watching her like a hawk.

No prey can ever escape from him.

Enox HarvardAff

CV: Corey Wilder

A resident of Usodar town. He claims to be a chemist, but his identity and occupation are mysterious.

For some reason, he had almost no contact with anyone until he met the Mc, who had just arrived in town. The Mc has turned his life upside down. He has a love-and-hate relationship feeling on Mc.

Sid Whiteknight

CV: Logan Fletcher

MC’s childhood friend. He is another detective at the Clark’s Detective Agency who is absent 80% of the time as a phantom employee but always quickly completes assignments. Sid is an excellent detective, although his background is a mystery.

Despite often ignoring MC, he actually cares about her a lot.

G#

CV: Harold Ingram

He is the lead vocalist of the famous indie heavy metal band SOUL, with a lively and energetic personality. He often sticks to MC and flirts with her, craving her attention. Although he appears to have a good relationship with Dane, the two seem to have some resentment towards each other in private.


Clark Marbury

CV: Brandon P Jenkins

The owner of Clark's Detective Agency and MC's boss. He used to be a police officer. After the MC’s parents were murdered when she was a child, he always protect her on behind.

He has known Dane for a long time.

On the surface, he seems unreliable, but in reality, he is very serious and will stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

This is so refreshing to see, I absolutely loved this game!!! 10/10 We need more nsfw otome games. GO TEAM DANE!!!!

I love this game, 5/5 stars. I love that it's voiced and I'm really enjoying the story, characters and darker yandere theme (the mature rating is a cherry on top since I get tired sometimes of the "too tamed" visual novel with only a kiss at the end). I also enjoy the pace. I look forward to whatever you come up with next!

So i completed the full game last night and i have to say 10/10! (no spoilers)

each character is unique and well written, especially MC who displays both vulnerability and strength in heaps. the use of music to set the tone is immaculate, the art style is perfection, and i literally cannot fault a single thing!
my favourite routes were sid's and g#'s (i literally cried. a lot, for them both) but overall my favourite part the game is the adorable little chibis sprinkled throughout i want to squish their little cheeks :3

could not recommend this game more for fans of otome, dark romance, cosmic horror and mystery! i will be patiently awaiting clark's route... and by patiently i mean i'll be frothing at the mouth gnawing at the bars of my enclosure <333

I created an itch.io account just to comment on this game. This game fits my taste PERFECTLY. I LOVE IT. I only played the first 3 routes (Enox, Luke and Dane...) and ugh it only gets better and better. If you ever do another game like this, mystery yandere and 18+?!?!?! please.. PLEASE. I WILL BE THE FIRST TO PAY AND PLAY.

Got it on Patreon (I share my Steam account with my little sister so I didn't want to get it there, lol)! I love Enox! I played through all of his endings. Haven't played the other routes yet but I got the game specifically for him. I played your Christmas game so I knew to expect lots of lore here as well!

Hi there, I have played the full game on steam and I'm absolutely LOVE this omgggggg. I hope you making more games in the future cuz this is so peak, especially Sid route. Sid route truly touched my heart and made me cried so bad, he's an amazing developed character. I just want to say that I hope both of your pillow are cold and your life will become lucky, you bless my eyes so much!!! This is the first ever visual novel that made me feel like this!! 

ahhhhhh thank you 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🥺🥺🥺

Do you have this game on Steam?

yes!

(+3)

i'm a man with a mustache so this is basically body horror for me.

(+3)(-2)

Please make an Android version 😭😭😭😭

(+1)

The demo was so good I went ahead and bought the full game on steam!! Currently on the Enox route and I'm totally hooked on the mystery part of the game.  THANK YOU!!

Got this game on steam and Have fallen for G# lol About to get to the last character sid.  The voice acting is amazing too! Same with the art.

thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

In his sweet end Clark's name is spelled Carter in one of the sentences then we go back to calling him Clark right after. Also play Luck's right now and in chapter 3 there is in is a part where we are say add an L to Luke name. (LLuke) 

Video Gameplay -- https://youtu.be/pB0qS-0BDe4

Hello, I just purchased your game on steam, and I was wondering if the full game has the SFW mode feature? I can't seem to find it. Thank you in advance!

The full game only have nsfw version!

Ah I see, thank you!

这里的话什么时候能上完整版本呢

不會上呢,因為目前itch不可以賣18+遊戲,除非他放寛了

希望有机会能在dlsite上发布,steam锁区555,非常想玩了!

(1 edit) (-1)

因為沒有日文,在DLsite發售會有點困難🥲

但可以在Patreon直接購買喔!只要註冊帳號就可以購買!

https://www.patreon.com/c/ricelovecoffee/shop

hello! I’m here after the release announcement. First of all congratulations! I wanted to know if the game will be available on itch or Patreon it’s sadly not in my region on steam 

hi! The game will be available on patreon too! (But not itch)

Do you have a set price estimate for it on steam? Will it be the same as the $15 when it was in development or possibly more?

will be 20.99 usd

Yay. I'll put that aside then. Thanks

我玩过的我最喜欢的女性向游戏,嘎嘎嘎,配音都太好听了 ,真的很自然很苏,不像那种一听就是配音味道很重的配音。剧情我也打满分,喜欢喜欢!非常和我的口味。每个人都好好,我要摇摆不定了。

Will there be an option to switch between the Chinese VA and English VA? I'm thinking of something like Tears of Themsis where the text was still english but you could switch the voice acting to different langauges. 

(+1)

sorry! There are only English VA cuz I don’t have that much budget to do another language 

Please make an Android ver I'm begging you🫠

期待发售正式版,不管是itch还是steam港区还是dlsite,放马过来(*^▽^*)

或许在这里也会贩售吗QAQ大陆地区似乎在steam上买不了

遊戲大概9-10期間月發售!但目前itch很大機會不允許販賣18+遊戲😭 要視乎當時的情況,Steam的話可以用轉港區的方式購買(另外我也在考慮放在Dlsite發佈😭💦)

Will you be releasing the Before the War DLC on Steam too? Please do it...

I plan to buy the game on Steam, but it's very inconvenient to have the DLC on a separate store. Not to mention itch's situation...

(+1)

Yes I will!

Please gives us ending where we marry with Dane 🙏

this is so peak. genuinely let out a scream when i saw lukes route wasnt available yet. will let out another one when full version is out

(+1)

I ABSOLUTELY ADORE THIS, BUT I BEG OF YOU MORE ENOX CONTENT!!!!!!! <3333

(+2)

I love this game so much. I'll be honest and say, I was extremely skeptical of seeing so many English speaking VAs. As well as looking at their Twitter and seeing their bio. I thought, "Would they even be able to pull these lines off? Would every sound convincing as a Yandere man or bresi the immersion?", as I'm used to games being strictly Mandarin or Japanese speaking VA 

There's so many new things I've been surprised with and been way off the mark with. The creator of this Otome, poured her heart and soul into this game! Thank you for a wonderful game. 🖤🖤. I can't wait for the finished product.

(+3)

I love this game so much!! its so underrated and i cant wait for the full version! imo best yandere otome game ever !

(+1)

This game is something beautiful and I can't wait for the full version to be released, I'm keeping my fingers crossed and my wallet ready lol, regards!

(+2)

I love this!! I am so grateful that it wasn't abandoned :')

(+4)

Enox is so bae

steam上好像不对中国地区开放 ,原文显示:您所在的地区目前不提供此物品,这种情况应该怎么解决?而且有个确切的发布时间吗?我真的等不及了呜呜呜呜呜呜呜

因為R18的作品不能在中國地區販售,不過轉港區可以😖💦抱歉🙏大概會在9月到10月期間發佈

好的,非常感谢,发行必买,我可太吃这一套了

(1 edit) (+4)

Loved playing through all the extra chapters in the beta. <3

Will be a day 1 buy for me for sure when it releases! :) 

(+3)

yeah i think i MIGHT be inlove with Enox :') i almost cried when i saw that i can't choose him in the demo RIP cant wait for full release!!

I am curious, Usodar town is described as being in the south, is there a specific country that it was intended to be set in?

I'm curious, if you pay to download the current version on Patreon, will you then have to pay again once it is released on Steam? just pondering on if it's best to wait, because I'd love to spend some more time with the guys :)

Yes! The current version is still the beta test, it’s different from the final version


Thank you for loving the game❤️

No problem, so if purchasing the current Patreon version, I'm assuming that you'd need to pay again for each updated Patreon version, and for the final release on steam? 😊 

I don't know if it's a different cat or not, but in the main story, at the beginning, we find an orange cat in our room, Dane calls him Ryan, and thanks us for finding him, but in Dane's main route  Ryan's art shows he is black and white?

(5 edits) (+1)

oh damn! I don't know how much has been added to the game in the last year, but I downloaded it again to check out the content for Dane (dunno if there's anything added anywhere else or not)


Possible Spoilers?





Dane was initially my least favourite character when I first played through, but he has became my favourite, what is he?! like I am so curious! he almost reminds me of something eldritch just by his appearance alone in the NSFW CG, I absolutely cannot wait for the rest of his route :)

(+1)

Just wanted to say, may your pillows always be cold on each side, favourite manga never go on hiatus and every Otome game is released quickly. Thank you for being a decent human being and doing a proper spoiler warning. 😭🖤

(1 edit) (+1)

in the name of all that is holy WHAT THE FUCK IS DANE?!?!?!??!

but on a more serious note i love the game and i am very exited for the full release
