Ethel Briggs is a shy, self-conscious girl in her final year of university. Though she should be working on her thesis about Romantic poetry, her well of inspiration has run dry. After a nasty break-up with her former girlfriend, Clementine, Ethel is feeling very blue - and it certainly doesn't help that she's spending the winter holidays in the depressingly drab village of Oxbury, while her family are off holidaying in sunny Australia.
Left to her own devices, Ethel struggles to finish her thesis while the cold, wintry wind blows outside and the days continue to get shorter and darker.
Staying inside proves to be unbearable, however, and Ethel escapes the confines of her family's home for a breath of fresh air. Going for a walk in the woods should be enough to invigorate her, and fill her with newfound passion for Romanticism.
That was Ethel's plan, at least - but she wasn't counting on meeting a mysterious, dark-haired beauty in the woods, who is much more than she seems.

Hi everyone,\r\n\r\nI\'m writing a quick post to let you know that I\'ve been hard at work these last couple of months on my cute yuri visual novel feat. a mermaid girl, Out of the Ocean. The VN is very close to being finished, and it\'s been fully coded and edited save for one ending out of a possible five.\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\nI\'m still waiting on one art asset and the finalised trailer, but other than that, the VN is done. I\'m hoping I\'ll be able to release it some time in December, but as we\'re nearing the end of the year and the winter sales will soon be upon us, I\'m not sure if I\'ll need to push back the estimated release date until January 2026.\r\n\r\nI did upload a shiny new demo of the visual novel to Steam, however, which is a little longer than the older demo. In addition to have a few extra scenes, the new demo is a little more polished in terms of visual effects and music placement, and there\'s an early \'bad ending\' you can unlock if you make certain choices.\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\nI hope you enjoy the new demo, and I hope you\'re looking forward to the final release! I\'ll keep working hard to make the visual novel as polished as it can be!\r\n\r\nIf you\'re interested, you can check out the demo (and wislist the VN) on Steam here:\r\nhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/3616970/Out_of_the_Ocean\r\n\r\nAs always, thank you all for your support! It\'s appreciated!\r\n\r\n- ebi x
Hello everybody,\n
I\'m writing a quick post to let you know that Her Love, Like Poison has been translated into Simplified Chinese thanks to Yuri Atelier.
\nI\'ve also fixed up a few typos which were found in the English script, so the story should be more polished now.
As always, please let me know if you find any issues with the game, and I will try to fix them as soon as possible.
\nThank you for your support,

Hi everyone,\n\nI\'m just making a quick post to let you know that I\'ve uploaded a new build of Her Love, Like Poison on Steam!\n\nThis new build should fix a bug which was present in the Steam deck build of the game, which made the game crash whenever the preferences screen was opened.\n\nAs always, if you find more bugs or typos in the visual novel, please feel free to let me know. I\'ll try to get everything fixed in a timely manner!\n\n- ebi x
Hi everyone, \n\nI\'m just making a quick post to let you know I\'ve uploaded a new build of the game to fix a handful of typos that have been pointed out. \n\nIf you spot any more typos in the game (or any bugs/errors), please let me know, and I\'ll try to fix them all up in a timely manner! \n\n- ebi x
Hi everyone! I\'m just making a quick post to let you know that my spooky yuri visual novel, Her Love, Like Poison, has been released!\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\nIf you\'ve read any of my other yuri VNs, then Her Love, Like Poison might look familiar. The character art is by the same artist of my previously released yandere yuri visual novel, It gets so lonely here, and the UI is in a similar style.\r\n\r\nI wrote Her Love, Like Poison pretty soon after finishing up Lonely (I must have been in the mood for more toxic yuri set in the woods), so while the two stories are unrelated, they might be a little bit similar tone-wise.\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\nIn any case, I hope you enjoy the story if you do check it out! It\'s quite a short game, so it\'s priced accordingly (it\'s $6.99 with a 10% launch discount).\r\n\r\nYou can pick it up here if you\'re interested:\r\nhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/3412620/\r\n\r\nAs always, thank you for your support over the years! It\'s very much appreciated!\r\n\r\n- ebi x
Hello everyone! I'm writing a quick announcement to let you know that my newest VN, Cage of Roses, has finally been released!

I say 'finally' because I wrote the script for this VN all the way back in early 2021. It took about 4 years for me to get this project pieced together, but I'm very glad that I stuck with it until the bitter end!
I think the art by Rock CR and the music by Sarah Mancuso is especially lovely, and it really adds to the overall atmosphere of the story. They really went all-in on the pretty visuals and the ominous, eerie music, and I think it all comes together really nicely!
It's been a dream of mine to write a spooky vampire story for over a decade, and I'm very happy I was finally able to do that. I hope I did the idea justice!

You can check out the VN here if you're interested:

Please let me know if you run into any bugs or typos, and I'll do my best to fix them within a reasonable timeframe.
Thank you, as always, for your support over the years. It's very much appreciated, and I hope you'll all enjoy my newest yuri story!

Hi everyone! \o/
I'm just making a quick announcement to let you know I'm working on a couple of shiny new yuri VNs (when am I ever not working on yuri VNs tbh haha...)

The first on the list is Her Love, Like Poison! It's a dour little VN set in the English countryside during the winter, so it'll be very bleak and cold and miserable!
It's a story about a university student, Ethel, who's struggling to muster up the enthusiasm to work on her thesis while girlrotting in her parents' home in a teeny-tiny village.
Stuck for inspiration, she goes for a wander in the woods late at night, and has an encounter with a mysterious girl who might be more than she seems.
This is a spooky VN with some sexual themes and body horror elements. It goes some rather dark places, but I don't think it's too unpleasantly awful. The character art was also done by the artist of It gets so lonely here!
You can wishlist it here:

And the second on the list is Bittersweet Blossoms. It's a historical yuri VN that takes place in England in 1919, a little after WWI.
Follow Dot, a young girl who lost both her father and her older brother in the war, as she starts working in the stately home of Bly as a maid. At Bly, Dot meets her sadistic young mistress, Patience, and the two begin an uneasy relationship.
This VN is a sequel of sorts to Blackberry Honey, though it takes place about 60 years after the events of BH. It might be an interesting read if you want to see what became of Bly over the years!
You can wishlist it here:https://store.steampowered.com/app/3429340/Bittersweet_Blossoms/
And that's about eveything. Please look forward to these VNs; I'll try to release them both later this year!
