Hello everyone \o/ Im writing a quick post to let you know that Ive released a shiny VN, My Confounding Cat is Criminally Cute (thats such an extra title lmao)
Criminal Cat is a relatively short BL VN without any choices or branches. It follows a grumpy wizard, Aster, who lives a reclusive life deep in the woods and brews potions to get by. Aster is taciturn by nature, and he swears he isnt lonely! Hes perfectly fine keeping to himself, thank you very much Until a black cat tumbles down his chimney one day, throwing his whole life into disarray! After taking the black cat in, Aster soon discovers this clumsy kitten is no ordinary feline. He is, in actuality, a young man called Blaise, who has been cursed by a witch to assume the form of a cat during the sunlight hours but why? What did Blaise do to get cursed, and can Aster help him? Itll be a huge pain, but Aster will (reluctantly) do his best. Hell never be able to get rid of Blaise if he cant, and all Aster really wants is a quiet life. Its not like hes going to fall for his catboy companion or anything, right? Right?
Criminal Cat is a pretty sweet and light story, and it doesnt contain any explicit content. The steamiest thing youll find here are a handful of kiss scenes (well, how else are you supposed to break a curse?!) The adorable art is by Ekkoberry, who handled the character sprites, CGs, and the UI! I usually work with multiple artists per project, so having one person manage all of the art-related tasks was a pretty new experience for me. Im really happy with how this VN turned out: I think it looks very cute and cohesive! Please consider checking the VN out if you're interested! It's not that long, so it's pretty cheap! And, as always, feel free to leave a review to let me know what you think. Reviews are very helpful for small developers such as myself, as they help push my games to more people and can boost discoverability! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2685600 - ebi x

Hello everyone, I'm writing this announcement to let you know that the adult patch for Rain and the Wolf was finally approved for release on Steam. This patch adds 5 new scenes to the game, 6 new CGs, and about 8,000 words of new text. I submitted the patch to Steam on the 25th of July to be reviewed, so it took over 2 months for it to be approved haha... It was a very long and stressful process, but the patch was accepted without issue and I wasn't asked to edit any of the content. With the adult patch now available, it's possible to experience the whole VN on Steam. I hope you enjoy it, if you want to read the VN with the patch - though do note the art in the patch has mosaic censors to comply with Japanese laws. Thank you very much for your support, and I hope you can all enjoy this VN in its uncut glory! - ebi

Hi everyone! I'm writing a quick post to let you know that I've uploaded a new build of the game to fix a handful of typos which were pointed out by people on Steam and in my Discord server. The game should be a bit more polished now, and the reading experience should be more pleasant! As always, do let me know if you spot more bugs or typos, and I'll do my best to fix them within a reasonable timeframe. Thank you for supporting this game, and thank you for the typo reports; they're very helpful! - ebi x

Hello everyone! I'm writing a quick announcement to let you know that my latest VN, Rain and the Wolf, has been released!
Rain and the Wolf is a BL visual novel inspired by Little Red Riding Hood. The story follows Rain, an aloof young man, who works as an apothecary with his father. One day, Rain's father sends him into the woods to gather some herbs, but Rain finds himself entrenched in his childhood memories and wanders off the beaten path. While Rain is resting by the riverside, a sudden storm blows by and he gets caught up in a downpour. In the confusion, he falls and sprains his ankle, and passes out from the pain as the hour wears on. It seems inevitable that Rain will become food for the hungry wolves that prowl the woods, but fortune smiles on him. A passing young man, Zero, finds him, and takes Rain back to his home to recuperate but there's a catch. Zero is no ordinary man. He's a werewolf, and his designs on Rain might not be as innocent as it first seems.
This is a visual novel with choices and branches. Guide Rain, and try to unravel the truth behind Zero without being chomped on. Though (generally) good-natured, it's possible to antagonise Zero, which can result in a couple of pretty grim endings (including one Very Bad Ending). It's easy enough to avoid the bad endings if you don't want to see them, however. If you only read the good endings this story is relatively sweet and light. I would advise people to read the content warnings on the game's page carefully before deciding if they want to check it out, however, as I don't want to upset people by subjecting them to any content they might find upsetting. You can purchase the game on Steam here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3016500/Rain_and_the_Wolf/ I've also put my other BL VNs on sale to celebrate the release of this VN, yay You can check the sale out here if you're interested! - ebi x
