Hi everyone! I'm writing a quick post to let you know that my cute yuri VN, Clear Skye Thinking, has been released!
It's a wholesome slice of life story set on the Scottish Isle of Skye, which follows a lolita protagonist called Alice as she meets and falls in love with the cheerful tomboy Piper. You can check it out here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2939470 The story takes place in Skye and shows off various tourist locations on the island (such as Dunscaith Castle and Neist Point lighthouse), while also developing the relationship between Alice and Piper. It's a sweet, fairly short story which can probably be completed in around 3 hours by a fast reader. There's no mature content, and it's all quite light and fluffy. Tonally, I think it's rather similar to All the Words She Wrote or The Fairy's Song, if you want a reference point. I hope you enjoy it if you do choose to check it out!

Hello everyone! \o/ Im writing a quick announcement to let you know that the Steam store page for my upcoming slice of life yuri VN, Clear Skye Thinking, is now up!
Clear Skye Thinking is a cute all ages story about a young girl, Alice, who goes on holiday to the Scottish Isle of Skye with her father during the summer holidays. While in Skye Alice meets the cheerful tomboy Piper, and they both go around the island examining the various tourist spots, from the ruins of Dunscaith Castle to the lush gardens at Armdale. Its a sweet, slow-paced story about exploration and adventure, and (with some luck) Ill be able to release it within the next couple of months. You can wishlist it here if that sounds like your sort of thing: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2939470/Clear_Skye_Thinking/ - ebi x

Hello everybody! \o/ I'm writing a post to let you know that I've released a shiny new yuri VN on Steam, Fragile Feelings!
Fragile Feelings is a romance story about a shy young teacher and a gothic school nurse. Its set in an isolated all-girls boarding school in the Japanese countryside and it has a relaxing, soothing atmosphere. The story does contain some serious moments, but it's generally positive in tone. Out of all of my previously released yuri VNs, it's probably the most similar to Blackberry Honey, even if the setting is pretty different. Ann and Kohaku have more than a few things in common with Lorina and Taohua, haha ;;
If you want to read something sweet and sapphic, please consider checking it out! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2025700 Thank you for all of your support over the years! It's appreciated! - ebi x

Hi everyone! \o/ Im writing this announcement to let you know that I've recently released a sequel to my cute yuri VN The Fairys Song called The Fairys Secret! The Fairys Secret is a linear visual novel set in modern day England which centres around the relationship between a grumpy goth and her medieval knight girlfriend. The story is of a similar length to the original Fairys Song and it has a similar tone. Its quite a light-hearted story, for the most part, though there are some fantasy elements and a few moments of intrigue and mystery. The VN is available in both English and Simplified Chinese, and a German translation might happen in the future if the sales are strong enough to support it.
If you enjoyed The Fairys Song and wanted to read more about Marnies adventures, then you should enjoy The Fairys Secret! You can buy it on Steam here, if youre interested: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1994760/The_Fairys_Secret And Ive also put The Fairys Song on sale on Steam to celebrate the occasion, along with a few of my other cute yuri VNs. You can check out my bundle of yuri VNs here: https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/26031/EbiHime_Yuri_Bundle/ Alternatively,, you can buy The Fairys Song and The Fairys Secret bundled together for an even deeper discount than youd get buying them individually here: https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/30485/The_Fairys_Bundle/ I hope youll enjoy reading more about Marnies time in Fenchapel with her cute knight girlfriend! - ebi x

Hi, everyone! I'm writing a post to let you know that my newest yuri VN, Dreamy Planet, has been released on Steam!
Dreamy Planet follows a troubled young woman called Haruka, who feels trapped in a loveless relationship with a man her parents introduced to her. Haruka is determined to make this relationship work for her parents sake, who are desperate for grandchildren, even if it kills her. Secretly, however, Haruka harbours feelings towards her childhood friend, Shiina, whom she hasnt seen in several years. Eventually, Shiina gets back into contact with Haruka, and suggests that the pair catch up at one of their favourite childhood haunts: the theme park Dreamy Planet, which has since closed down and fallen into ruin. Will Shiina and Harukas relationship meet a similar fate, or will old feelings between them be rekindled? Dreamy Planet is quite sombre in tone, but it's not all doom and gloom. It presents the possibility of a happy ending, and the leads are afforded a degree of hope.
It's a quiet, ambient sort of experience, which some people might find relaxing. I hope you enjoy it, if you do decide to check it out! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1792890/Dreamy_Planet/?curator_clanid=33024327 - ebi x

Hi everyone! Im just writing a post to let you know that my newest yuri visual novel, Salomes Kiss, has been released on Steam. Salome is a visual novel that shares a few similarities with Blackberry Honey, given its set in the Victorian era, and it also includes a couple of cute maids in the cast. Salome also stars a somewhat shy, self-conscious lead, who might be somewhat reminiscent of Lorina, who gets courted by a mischievous, devious woman who is much more confident than she is. Unlike Blackberry, however, Salome is fairly grim. It touches on some dark subject matter (such as sexual abuse and abortion), and the ending isnt particularly cheerful. If you like sweet, light yuri stories, you might want to give Salome a miss. If you want a more unsettling yuri story, however, it might be to your liking! The story is available in both English and Simplified Chinese, and you can pick it up here! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1779960/Salomes_Kiss/ I hope you enjoy it, if you choose to check it out! - ebi x

Hi everyone! \o/ I'm just writing a post to let you know that my newest yuri visual novel, All the Words She Wrote, has been released on Steam. Words is a very cute, light yuri VN which doesn't feature too much in the way of melodrama, which takes place in modern day Japan. The story is about a grumpy light novel author and her obsessive fangirl, who winds up falling for her. Think Stephen King's Misery, but moe (I know I've written some grim stories in the past, but nobody gets their legs broken or their thumbs amputated in Words: I promise!). I hope you enjoy it, if you do decide to check it out! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1898670/All_the_Words_She_Wrote/

Hi everybody, Just to let you know, I recently uploaded a new build of BH to Steam which fixes a few misc typos in the English script - and, more importantly, includes a full German translation, courtesy of Saryana. The all ages version of Blackberry Honey is freely available in German on Steam. If you want to download the adult patch (which is available on Steam, but I believe it is inaccessible in Germany), you can grab it off-site here. To apply it, drop it into Blackberry Honey's game folder and overwrite the existing adult.rpa. As I said in the Japanese language update, the Japanese language is not supported with the uncensored adult patch. If you want to play the VN in Japanese with the adult content, you'll still need to download a censored version of the patch off-site, which pixellates certain elements of the art, here. This patch will censor all the adult scenes in every supported language. You can find the same info here, translated into Japanese. As always, please let me know if this update has introduced any bugs into the game, if you see any spelling/grammar errors, or if you're having issues with the achievements. I'll try to fix everything (in a reasonable time frame). Thank you everybody for supporting Blackberry Honey, and thank you to the translators who've worked so hard to make this VN available in so many languages! I appreciate it a lot! - ebi x

My newest yuri visual novel, The Fairy's Song, has been released. It's a fantasy story set in England that follows a teenage goth girl, Marnie. Whilst staying at her grandmother's home in the countryside, Marnie meets a sleeping female knight deep in the forest. The knight introduces herself as Leofe, and claims to have been sleeping in the forest for hundreds of years. Marnie and Leofe soon discover that the forest is cursed, and together they work to break the enchantment, while falling in love. It's a sweet love story, and I hope you enjoy it, if you decide to check it out! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1244260/The_Fairys_Song/

Hi everybody, Just to let you know, I recently uploaded a new build of BH to Steam which includes a full Japanese translation, courtesy of SvntnFls! The all ages base game is available in Japanese via Steam. However, owing to Japanese censorship laws, the fully uncensored adult patch available on Steam is not in Japanese: downloading the Steam adult patch will remove the Japanese language option from the game altogether. If you want to read the VN in Japanese and read the adult content, you need to download a censored patch off-site here. This patch is functionally the same as the existing Steam adult patch, it just pixellates certain elements in the H scenes so as to comply with Japanese laws. The off-site patch will censor all the adult scenes in every supported language. If you're not interested in reading the game in Japanese, you don't need to worry about the off-site patch, and you can continue using the fully uncensored adult patch available on Steam. You can find the same info here, translated into Japanese. I'm sorry if this causes any complications! As always, please let me know if this update has introduced any bugs into the game, if you see any spelling/grammatical errors, or if the achievements are failing to trigger. I'll do my best to fix everything (within a reasonable time frame). Thank you to everybody who has supported Blackberry Honey until now, and thank you to all the translators who have dedicated so much time and energy to this story. It's very much appreciated! - ebi x

Hi everyone, Just letting you know, I uploaded a new build of BH. It doesn't change anything, apart from (hopefully) fixing a couple of errors with the text display in the Russian translation. If this update has done anything strange to the game (such as breaking achievements or interfering with save files), please let me know. It would be appreciated. I had to rebuild the whole VN on a newer version of Ren'py, and I'm unsure if that will have any negative consequences. And in other (unrelated) news, I recently published a new yuri VN on Steam. It's called Rituals in the Dark, and it's a romance story with some spooky elements. If you're interested, check it out! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1118880/Rituals_in_the_Dark Thank you! - ebi x

Hi everyone, Just letting you know, I uploaded a new build of this VN that includes a full Russian translation! I hope more people can now enjoy this story! As always, if you find any errors, typos, or anything that looks amiss in the story, please don't hesitate to tell me! - ebi x

Hi everyone, I recently updated Blackberry Honey to fix a handful of typos in the English script, as well as a few errors in the Chinese script. These are very minor changes, but I think the edits to the English script were long overdue. Thank you for supporting this visual novel! I appreciate it a lot! If you find any more spelling mistakes, or anything that looks strange, please feel free to point it out! Thank you! - ebi x

Hi everybody, Just letting you know, I've recently added BH's adult patch to Steam as free DLC. You can download it here, if you want: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1075720/Blackberry_Honey_Adult_Patch/ Downloading this DLC will automatically patch the game for you, letting you access the adult scenes. Please note: you should be 18 or older to download this content. Hopefully, this makes accessing the extra scenes easier for those who are interested! - ebi x

Hi everybody, Just letting you know, the story has now been fully translated into Simplified Chinese! Extra details about the game can be found on BH's itch.io page here: https://ebihime.itch.io/blackberry-honey If this patch happens to break anything in the game (particularly the achievements), please let me know! I'm also aware that there are a few lingering typos in the current build. I have a list of things I'd like to fix in the English script, but a Russian translation is currently in progress. Editing the English script now will make integrating the TL harder, so I'll hold off on changing the English script until the Russian TL is done. Nevertheless, if you find any typos in the story, please let me know, and I'll make a note to fix them when I can! - ebi

Hello everyone, I'm pleased to announce that my newest VN, AIdol, has been released on Steam! You can take a look at it here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/829210/AIdol/ It's rather cute and light-hearted in tone, and its interface is very pink. It's a mostly comedic slice of life story with some fluffy friendship scenes, so it isn't too similar tonally to Blackberry Honey. However, if you liked my writing in BH you might be interested in this story, too. I hope you check it out! - ebi x

Hi everyone, As the title says, I've updated the game. This update fixes a few spelling error fixes here and there (thank you to everybody for pointing them out for me!), and edits to a few of the CGs so the character designs remain consistent throughout the story. This update should also fix the achievement problem some people might have been having, where the game wouldn't trigger certain achievements. However, it will only fix the achievement problem for people who haven't read through the VN yet. If you have read through the VN already and the achievements did not all work, please check the pinned typos/bugs post which gives you advice on how to solve this problem! Also, every time I update the game via Steam, it will reset all your rpa files to the 'Steam' version. This might annoy people who don't want their rpa files 'reset', so I'll try not to update the Steam build very often so it doesn't inconvenience anybody. For more information about this, please look at Blackberry Honey's page on my itch.io account, ebi-hime. Thank you! ❤︎
