PIRATES!!

After many people asked about the original music of the game, I've decided to make the soundtrack available! Until now, it was a perk for the Kickstarter backers and my lovely supporters on Patreon, but from now on you can download the original mp3 songs, the video opening, and the video trailer from itchio and Steam. The revenues of the music will go to Door Studios and MyVe.

Can you imagine the characters from A Hand in the Darkness, Chasing the Stars, and My Burning Heart as cats? And living in a cat caf? Well, imagine no more, this is it! A Cat Caf Story is a very short Visual Novel (just 7.5k words) with the fluffy version of our dear characters being themselves. Two endings and cuteness overload! Rating: G (I'm not into furry, sorry XD) Link to the game on itch.io

Our Kickstarter campaign is now live!

Hello, I hope you're all healthy and fine! Just a quick message to let you know Night and Day, my new project, will be live on Kickstarter next week, on June 1st. Night and Day is a BL Visual Novel set in Paris in 1950, and it's a story about art, coming of age and jazz music. The demo is available on Steam (Windows version only) and itchio (Win, Linux and Mac), and although some side characters haven't got a sprite yet, the finished version will show all the characters. Apart from that and a couple of CGs missing, the demo is mostly in its final version, so please, check it out! You can take a look at the preview page of the KS campaign here: KICKSTARTER PREVIEW I hope you like what you see! ;) Feedback about the page is most welcome: do you like the rewards and stretch goals or do you think something is missing? Any questions about the story or the game system?

Now that I've mostly finished with My Burning Heart, it's time to go back to Chasing the Stars and fix all the small issues some players have about the game! Plus, of course, adding some extras that were planned since the start of the project and that no, they haven't been forgotten. List of fixes: -Removed the loop in the code puzzle: you'll be redirected to start over with it if you make a mistake, and there's a small hint right before the puzzle. -Added a Text Speed scroller. -Solved a couple of times where the game didn't check correctly if a given scene had happened or not Rigth now, I'm working on those sexy extra scenes that will reward the player for finishing a love interest's route ;) Stay tuned!

Today A Hand in the Darkness has been banned from Steam.
It was only a matter of time, to be honest, since the game doesn't comply with the current Steam guidelines (it did in 2017, when it was released, although it was always in a grey area, same as all the other games with adult content but whose main focus isn't set on the erotic scenes). As the ones who follow my Twitter or Facebook might know, the game was about to get a DLC with after scenes, featuring Alex' relationship with his chosen love interest some years into their future, and also brand new characters sprites, sharper and with more expressions, two CGs and some new scenes. For now, A Hand in the Darkness and the DLC will be only available on itch.io. I guess the ones of you who bought the game but never got to play it or have less than an hour of playing time can ask for a refund on Steam. The rest of you, please email me at ertal77@hotmail.com with a screenshot with any kind of proof of ownership of AHitD on Steam and I'll send you a download key for itch.io. Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your support!

As some of you might know, our new BL visual novel, My Burning Heart, is currently running a Kickstarter campaign.
It's a story set in a 1001 Nights world, with beautiful art by 6nii9. This is the summary: Our protagonist, Adnan, gets sold as a slave and, instead of being sent to work in the fields, as he expected, he ends up in a Sultan's harem... Although they try to trick him with good words and promises of being well fed and no physical punishments, he decides to comply with the Sultan's orders... but only while he plans his escape from the palace. It features: -60k to 75k words. -Three romantic m/m routes, with a good and a bad ending each one. -16 stunning CGs (most of them +18 rated). This visual novel leans heavily towards the erotic genre, with many detailed (and illustrated) sex scenes, However, please keep in mind that the setting implies Adnan isn't always in control of what happens to him, since he's a slave, so if dubious consent is triggering or off-putting for you, please avoid this project. I'm sure some of my future VNs will be more appealing to you ;) But if you are into romantic stories full of fluff moments and all kind of kinky sex, then this might be right up your alley! You can try the free demo here and check for yourself: DEMO Any help backing or sharing our project in your social media would be awesome! ^_^ My Burning Heart Kickstarter PS: No need to be said, we are working on a new update for Chasing the Stars at the same time!

I've posted a new build, fixing one of the CG gallery images still not showing up, edited a bit the text, cleaning typos and such, and fixed the achievement for Ending 12. Unfortunately, the "All Ends" achievement refuses to work, so after sending it to some friends with more knowledge of programming and getting only confused frowns, since everything seems to be in order both in my end and on Steam's end, I finally decided to delete that achievement and move on. I'm sorry for the inconvenience and will compensate it adding trading cards in the near future.

Hi, there! Chasing the Stars has been updated! This is the list of changes: -Errors fixed: Achievements n.12 and 13 not unlocking, two pictures not appearing in the CG Gallery, error near the end saying the program couldn't find an internal option. -Music Gallery added. -Extras screens improved (CG Gallery's look and the option of replaying the opening video). -Second threesome (Pol / Biel / Tirs) added. When trying the new build, I had to uninstall and install the game again to make the update work on Steam, but all my progress was saved, so don't worry if you have to do that. Will the game receive any other update soon? Yes. An extra unlockable sexy scene will be added at the end of each good ending, and of course, the text needs further editing. It always needs further editing! So let me apologize again for the delays (real life with its work, family and health issues always gets in the way) and please let me know if you find any other bug in the game, so I can solve it asap!

Hi, there! I'm really sorry, but I'll have to push the release date again The game is finished, but I need a couple of weeks more for it to be playtested and make sure there're no bugs. Besides, I'm also working on the Steam achievements and trading cards. The good news is the release will be fully uncensored. So far, it seems Steam is okay with it, so we'll go fully +18! So please, be patient and mark January 4th on your calendar!
