Until next time

May 3, 2022

I asked a wise man, 6 years ago, if it is possible to live as an independent developer, and this wise man replied: "Yes, as long as you live in your mother's basement."

He was right.

What is happening?

Thank you very much for the support all these years.

I'm steping out from developing and gaming. Gaming is too time consuming, and developing is too emotionally consuming. I wish I would be stronger to be able to sustain criticism, money issues, and uncertainly, but I'm not and that's breaking me. I need to bring order to my life now.

What is next?

In order to make it fair and square to everyone, we will keep this order:

1) We will be closing the Steam Store.
2) Later on, we will be deleting the community information.
3) As a last step, we will be deleting this account.

What will happen with the pending project?

It will be cancelled, and the bakers will be refunded, starting from this years. I will be contacting them, one by one, to set the payment method.

Thank you very much, again, for all your support! It was a big learning experience, fuelled by passion and the life lasting dream of becoming a developer, doing what I really love.

~ Halloween special edition ~

October 28, 2016

The dark of the night is upon us, covering every little corner of Thais. Although Alannah wanted to stay home to bake some cookies and sweets during the night of Halloween, little Yekaterina asked Alannah to accompany her for some candy hunt.

Alannah couldn't say no, and Velvet took the opportunity to join the party with hopes of getting closer to her beloved friend.

For Halloween 2016 we have prepared a little surprise, only available during the sales.

We changed the title screen to match the celebration, along with other small changes on the UI.

I hope you like them! :koro:

Kurisu.

EDIT: Halloween is over! We are going back to the current version (1.2.1).

New updates ;3

August 16, 2016

After reading the reviews and discussions, we decided to start working on some improvements to make Osozaki a better experience for players.

The first improvements, published in this patch, are focused on making more dynamic the replayability of the novel, and helping readers avoid losing certain parts of the script accidentally.

Here are the details:

1.-

Backlog:

Since players can right click anytime in order to hide the textbox, we decided to eliminate the "hide texbox" button and replace it for "show backlog" buttom.

2.-

Opening skippable:

Although the Opening theme is lovely, we decided to make it skippable so the readers wouldn't be forced to watch it everytime they go for another route.

3.-

Carmilla / Lovecraft stories skippable:

For the same reason above. Now, players who read those stories once, can get the option to skip both of them the next time they play the same scene.

Aditional information

We are celebrating this new update with a 10% discount.

If you are having problems with this update, don't forget to report us the bug on the forum. Also, in the meantime, you can revert to previous version running the beta version (password: ihatepayingtaxes).

Have a great day / night,

Kurisu ^^)/

Some appreciation for our artists!

June 21, 2016

Welcome everyone!

We would really like to make the waiting for the upcoming premiere of our novel more enjoyable for you.

Therefore we decided to make an announcement dedicated to artists who have collaborated with us on this project. Thanks to them, the work on the novel has become truly unique, and the effect will be worth every minute devoted to the production process.

Let's take a look at the samples of their awesome art.
Feel free to explore also the artists' galleries by simply clicking on their names!

Enjoy!
