A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

⟣  What's this?  ⟢

Just a simple something I had in mind for a Genshin otome game... I have 0 attention span, 0 time, and 0 knowledge to write and build a full-fledged 3D game with intricate stories, plot, and mechanics. This is just a simple visual novel with a streamlined plot and partial voices. You should be able to complete everything in like... 30 minutes long in total? Might be less, even.


⟣  Content tags  ⟢

The game will contain the following: established relationship, FLUFF, comfort, lots of pet names, suggestive themes, lots of kissy sounds on some routes, implications of violence (not towards player), a sprinkle of protective behavior


⟣  Who are the love interests?  ⟢

Zhongli, Xiao, Childe, Diluc, Kaeya, Itto, Kazuha

(Zhongli is selected by default because who doesn’t love geo daddy???)

No new characters will be added. This project is already marked as completed. If I ever make a second instalment with different characters, it will be a separate game altogether.


⟣  Who's this for?  ⟢

This is a very self-indulgent project, hence the dialogues were written with fem!player in mind. It will contain suggestive themes, so please be aware of that before downloading / playing.


⟣  Is this free to play?  ⟢

Yes, it's totally free - in fact, I do not accept payment.


⟣  How do I play the game?  ⟢

  1. Click the link to download the appropriate file based on your OS. Only Windows, Linux, and Mac are supported. No, I won't release it on other platforms.
  2. Open the game, and you’ll find that it’s pretty straightforward. Customize your profile, select your love interest, then start the game.
  3. There are no wrong answers and the love interest can be changed anytime (just go back to main menu and select the character’s picture on the right side).


⟣  Can I share this?  ⟢

You can personally send links to this post / the game’s itch.io page to your friends via DMs, but outside of that (e.g. reposting), NO. For example, posting about this on Reddit is prohibited.


⟣  I found an error / a bug!!!  ⟢

File a report here and hopefully I'll eventually get around to fixing the issue.


⟣  Anything else to note?  ⟢

  • This is a super casual project.
  • Scripts are not proofread. Probably lots of grammar mistakes.
  • Novel format without narration (full dialogs).
  • There are no actual sprites, just official art and something akin to a speech bubble to cater to the characters’ changes in ‘expression’.
  • There are voices, but only partial - mostly just grunts, chuckles, kisses, and stuff. I’m using JP voices EXCEPT for Itto because Max Mittelman is a gem. No, I will not add other languages' voice versions.
  • Sound cues and voices are quite important for this game so I recommend using headphones.
  • Depending on when you open the game (morning, afternoon, nighttime, midnight), your currently selected love interest might greet you differently.
  • To reiterate, there are no wrong answers.
  • Selecting all talk/act options for a character will unlock a small event where they'll give you unique gifts.
  • I lowkey have so many ideas on how to expand on this in terms of gameplay and options but let’s be real here it probably won’t happen lol why can’t my brain be this creative when it comes to work
  • Instructions to install can be found below.


⟣  Is this a virus?!???!!!!??!  ⟢

No... That said, anyone can literally say that. Please be responsible for your own actions.

I have also released other games on this itch.io profile, so this isn't my first rodeo. Feel free to check the reviews on those before making your decision if you're wary about downloading!


⟣  Any last words?  ⟢

hyv please don't sue me i gain 0 dollars for this and i just wanna simp in peace

I love it, Xiao stole my heart

This was so beautiful, charming and lovely. thank you so much for making it <3

Stumbled upon this by accident and out of curiosity decided to check it out. This was adorable!! Much doki-doki going on. I was impressed with how you managed to capture everyone's character so well. I know this is at least a year old, but after experiencing this little game, I can't help imagining what it would be like to date some of the other favored characters like Alhaitham, Albedo, Tighnari, Thoma, Heizou, Scaramouche, Cyno, and maybe even Gorou. And then of course Venti, Dainsleif and Ayato too. Bennett's growing on me as well... anyways. Overall, great work! Loved this to bits.

(1 edit) (+1)(-3)

idk really just like i go by she/they so that was the best way for me to describe it! sorry i didn't know how to say it lol

(-1)

oh ok i get it now !! sorry for being dumb lol

I played this last night and I had so much fun! The characters are very accurated, the dialogues are very cute and funny, I like it a lot and I hope you can make a sequel someday!

i need more of this pls

Interesting and love it and I just look beyond the grammar mistakes as I know I have them too. thank god for autocorrect. also english is not my main language.

(1 edit)

bro I was screeching playing all the routes no joke, my brother fr came into my room as I was playing this concerned of the noises I was making lmao, aANYWAYS this filled my thirst well enough, good job!

Easy to download and start up. I put it on my laptop for one of my younger sisters to play. (She's 18, so it's not weird or anything, although I was definitely glad the description was accurate and the game never became salacious, because she would have been suuuper unhappy if that happened.) Although I'm not interested in romance or, uh, the activities leading up to and/or including procreation, I gave the game a whirl after she finished playing everything, trying out the Diluc and Zhongli sections.

If this seems like the sort of game you might like, I think you should try it out. It won't take long to play, and it's well constructed for what it is.

While it's not a type of story I'm interested in, and the gameplay itself is simple, I was genuinely impressed with the technical level of this fan-game, especially one which was apparently made quite quickly! I've spent the last year working on a visual novel of my own, so I know a bit about Ren'Py, and I really liked this format.
—The screen where you click on which guy you want to talk to was great, I loved how the music changed based on which guy was selected.
—The method of using emoticons next to the image of the character you're talking to was simple but effective.
—I have no idea how you put the little bouncing image next to the dialogue to express to the player there's more dialogue to read. Very neat.
—Also, the way the game was set up so there was a separate section where the player could input her name was cool. I ended up putting it into my game itself instead of making it a separate section like this, but this method has some definite advantages if multiple people were to be passing the game around. 

As for the writing:
—As the creator said, there were a few typos in the sections for the two characters I looked at, but nothing which would impede the player's ability to understand what the characters are saying.
—I never interpreted Diluc's character as being so protective on a personal level. Yes, he protects Mondstadt, but that's different than being overly protective of a particular individual. That being said, I know some girls like that kind of behavior from a guy so it was probably smart to include it. (I would never date anyone, so I know I'm not the right woman to consult on these matters, but personally I wouldn't even be friends with someone who treated me like that. It's one thing if you know my ability level at various skills and keep me from getting in over my head, but to have someone constantly fussing over my safety like that seems more insulting than reassuring or flattering.)
—Zhongli had a very funny dialogue section, which I've included a screenshot of. I laughed over this contract line for a good two seconds.

girlie pop this is so good im so thirsty for genshin boyes it hurts so thank you and out of curiosity are you gonna maybe update to add other characters? 

regardless this is amazing thank you so much lol

Thank you for playing sweetie <3

No new characters will be added for this game!

Are you planning to add venti by any chance>?

No new characters will be added.

Oh okay

(+1)(-1)

Hiii I just downloaded it and haven't opened it but I'm just really curious, do you plan on making a similar game but for the women? And is it gonna be gn or fem centered?

(+3)(-1)

Hello! Most probably not, since I don't write for the fem characters (not to say that I don't like the characters themselves, but I just can't see them in the romantic sense, because I'm straight). For this game,  as written in the description, it's written for fem!MC. Please read through them before playing to make sure you fully understand what it offers!

(-1)

Are you planning to add other characters like Ayato and Thoma? <3 anyway i love this game once i saw this game.. i was like "I gotta have it!"

(+3)

If I ever feel like it I might release a second instalment.

I do want to maybe have Albedo, Ayato, Thoma, Heizou, Scaramouche, Al Haitham, Tighnari, and Cyno... But the assets gathering and testing is such a nightmare ;;;;

TLDR; perhaps, but nothing is set in stone for now!

I made an account just to comment and honestly, this is so good and I love how on-point the characters are!!

Reading Kaeya comforting me was really what I needed this week lol. Definitely looking forward to more of your work in the future!

(+1)

Being told that I got characterizations right always makes me so 🥺 happy aaaah So glad that Kaeya was able to comfort you <3

kaeya my beloved

He was so much fun to write for, hope you enjoyed his route <3

(1 edit)

I expected this to be 10x simpler than it is. Where did you even find those voice files! There are even graphics and game mechanics!! I don't even know all the characters because I've only played Genshin for like, a week, but your characterization and writing on the ones I know are on point. This is also a great format for an otome game, never seen it before outside of those mobile "waking up" simulators. Thanks for sharing the simping with us.

(+1)

Awhhh thank you!! <3 The voice files are either edited from the game or from these things called drama cds from the same voice actor who plays that character in genshin hehe

I hope you're having fun playing genshin! Take it at your own pace, enjoy the lore, and enjoy meeting all the eye candy new characters! 💗

Yay you're back!! or were you not ever gone? lol Gonna try out this one. 

I've played the full routes of Akechi and Akira from your Persona VN before, is that project on-hold? Would have loved to at least try Ann's route.

(+1)

I was never gone, just been hyperfixating on other things lol

I haven't worked on P5: VN in months (years?), unfortunately ;;; I've lost interest in P5 for now. I'm also not sure if the writers have a new chapter for me to code; I need to remember to contact Discord to retrieve my old account bc I lost it ;w; Ann's route isn't mine so that would depend on the writer in charge! I should probably recheck with the team but as of now, there's no real update for that game.

(+1)

Thanks for the reply. Yeap no worries, I had fun with them and just wanted to know. Looking forward to what you're making next :)))
