Unfortunately, the release date for Distant Oceanic Getaway has been pushed to early 2026. We want to bring you all the best version of our game, and nothing less. We hope you'll forgive us, and we'll see you on the cruise next year!

We released a new short visual novel for the Winter VN Jam 2025, A Curse of Snow!

Meet an alluring Snow Queen after running away from your wedding. As far as you know, this is the first you’ve met, but her tone is all-too familiar.

physical video games are an important part of media preservation in today's digital-only-dominant climate.

this is why i've made physical copies of my game/ vn, parfum nostalgique!

an array of circular usb cards on a greu gingham background. the usb drives are adorned with a picture of a vampire with long blond wavy hair, a teal blue tassel, and a backing card shaped like a bottle of shalimar perfume, which has a diatinctive seashell shape for the body and cap. it is a physical copy of the visual novel series parfum nostalgique

Merry Christmas, fateful friends! Ɛ:}
This image is the typical NDM title screen, featuring the main cast standing in a forest changing from autumn to spring, except Robin has thrown a bag of flour (to mimic snow) across the screen. Robin, donning a Santa hat, wishes everyone 'Merry Christmas'. Everyone wonders what the fuck a Christmas is (as they are all Tuatha Dé Danann, from the fairy Otherworld) while Shae asks if Robin stole their flour.

Season's Greetings from VC Games

With apologies to Arrapso for poorly messing with her sprites once again.

Santa John ushers out the old year and Angel Meissa, to whom John is passing the torch, ushers in the new. Hope you all have a lovely holiday/day off and we'll be seeing you in 2026!
Made Marion characters Meissa and John stand in the Nottingham Great Hall, which has been festively decorated for a feast. Meissa's sprite has been color swapped so they have bright white robes and glowing yellow hair. John is wearing a red shirt and is wrapped in tinsel.

Got a bunch of new followers recently, so hello! I'm Milo, a queer game dev making queer romance VNs 🌈

I tend to write about mischievous thieves falling in love. If you like banter, you might like my work.

Here's where you can find 'em:
Steam
Itch
(and consoles!)

Check out my site for more info!
A screenshot of a zoomed in CG. Wrapped in a red cloak, Flora rests her head on Connor's shoulder. She is looking up at him and blushing. In the textbox, she says "Huh...?" A screenshot from my game Pirated Code. Two comms portraits on a space background show seren (an AI copilot) looking confused, and Dex (a space smuggler) pouting. The textbox reads- Dex: (in small text) "And please don't lock me out of the ship. It's where I sleep..." A screenshot from my game Red-Handed Robin. In it, a ghostly woman with glowing red eyes stands in a dark forest. The textbox reads- Maiden: "It seems such a small price to pay..." A screenshot from my visual novel Fetch Re;Quest. It shows the main character, Flora, looking happy. Next to her, a close up of a phone is open on a group chat. The chat reads: Flora: "I know what you mean though. My schedule is jam packed!" Todd: "With what?" Flora: "Secrets!"

VN devs, let's share our works together! quote this with 4 screenshots from your game and a link to it 🌸

Killer Trait is my upcoming crime thriller VN where the MC teams up with a vigilante serial killer to get revenge.

Demo: prikarin.itch.io/killer-trait
New update coming around February 2026!
A screenshot showing the MC's apartment. It has many game and anime posters, particularly "Bokemon" and "Ace Lawyer". The bed has a big apple pillow and there's also a desk with a computer and a comfy computer chair. The screen shows Fawna, the canon protagonist, with 2 choices: "Play as Fawna" or "Play as an invisible MC" A screenshot of Oz glaring at the protagonist. A screenshot of the protagonist's office: The Criminal Investigations Department. Aslan, the protagonist's boss, is saying: "And I'd consider catching a serial killer who's been a pain in our asses for the last few months to be a good cause, no?" A screenshot of the inside of Cub of Coffee, Arthur's cafe, during the evening. Arthur is glaring at Oz and saying: "Why do you never EVER think about the consequences of your actions?"
