Our next yuri visual novel, A Tithe in Blood, releases in just 2 months on June 16th!
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2989270/A_Tithe_in_Blood/
A Tithe in Blood is a dark fantasy yuri visual novel about a woman discovering magic and finding herself in the middle of a sinister plotcan her love prevail?
As a reserved and unassuming university student in snow-bitten Hokkaido, the personal tragedy which visited Honoka Asakawa would lead to her experimentation in a magical art thought long-lost blood magic. Unexpectedly able to visit the sealed world of Meiji-era Sapporo, Honoka's quickly taken under the wing of the cheerful and bright Lady Yasue, a powerful mage who's remained in this gilded cage for a century.
As their feelings for each other develop, the true repercussions of Honoka's first steps into the secret world of magic and mages are only just starting to play out, eventually leading to catastrophic consequences.
The full game will be 70k words and fully voice acted in Japanese, with the option to read it in English, Japanese, or Simplified Chinese. We normally get English voice actors to work on our visual novels, but given that A Tithe in Blood is set in Sapporo, we decided to try JP voices for this release!
We've already announced the voice actors for the cast...
And have released voice clips for each of them!

You can hear individual clips over here on our Patreon or play the demo on Steam. We'll be posting even more soon!

Hello, everyone! Heart of the Woods 2.1.5 has just been released, which fixes all known compatibility issues with the Steam Deck! It also fixes a few minor issues that were either reported, or were found in testing. As always, thank you for continuing to support Studio lan! Karen/ (akemin_dayo) and adirosa
Hello, everyone! We've just released a fairly big update for Heart of the Woods! In fact, we released four whole versions in rapid succession just now 2.1.3, 2.1.2, 2.1.1.1, and 2.1.1! ( More on this below.) Our apologies for the large delay in getting these versions out various external factors beyond our control prevented us from properly releasing these updates, despite them being feature-complete for the longest time. The main highlights of this release mostly have to do with our brand new controller UI and navigation support, which can be enabled and configured from within the game's preference pane, as well as native Apple Silicon (arm64 / AArch64) support on macOS! All that being said, we thank you all for remaining patient, and as always, for supporting Studio lan across these many years! If for some reason you want to downgrade the game to an earlier version, you can now do this using Steam's "Betas" tab, accessible via right-clicking on the game in Steam and selecting "Properties".

We just launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund disc-based physical copies of our first three visual novels, "Highway Blossoms," "Heart of the Woods," and "Please Be Happy." We're also printing the artbook and soundtrack too! The game copies are disc-based and compatible with PC/Mac/Linux. The games are available in two versions: the Webstore Editions and Classic Editions. The Classic editions come in a DVD-sized case, and the Webstore editions come in a CD-sized case and have a reversible cover with a new illustration. There's also a special postcard and sticker sheet exclusive to the campaign, illustrated by some special guest artists. The campaign will run for 4 weeks starting from today, meaning you have until April 9th to order! After the campaign ends, the games, books, and soundtracks will be available on our webstore and at IRL events. The sticker sheet and postcard will be sent to the vault, forever exclusive to this campaign. Please give it a look if you're interested, and thanks for your support!

Yes, it should've been called "Art of the Woods."
Regardless, we're happy to announce that the Heart of the Woods Official Artbook is now available for purchase. It collects all of the beautiful art from the game, as well as commentary from us and some recollections. It also includes three short stories that were originally written for our Patreon, and that come with illustrations by minute and adirosa. I'm biased, but it's a really pretty book, and I hope you'll check it out.

Hakui Project Hey everyone, We're excited to announce that, courtesy of our friends at Hakui Project, Heart of the Woods is now available in Simplified Chinese! They're the same folks who translated our other game, Highway Blossoms. This is a text-only translation, and doesn't/won't affect the voice acting. You can enable it from the Options menu anytime! If you notice any issues or typos, please feel free to post 'em in the Discussion section and we'll fix them in a patch sometime. Also, for anyone wondering about the voice acting update: it's currently in beta testing, and rather close to the end. The actual timing of the release will depend on some other stuff, but we're crossing our fingers that it'll happen sometime next month. We'll post our next update when that happens. Until then, take care!
