Clear Skye Thinking has been released!

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:

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! ❤️

Cute yuri VN Clear Skye Thinking available to wishlist \o/

Hello everyone! \o/

I’m 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.

It’s a sweet, slow-paced story about exploration and adventure, and (with some luck) I’ll be able to release it within the next couple of months.

You can wishlist it here if that sounds like your sort of thing:

My Lovey-Dovey Demon has been released! 💗

Hello everybody!

I'm writing a quick devlog to let you know that my most recent visual novel, My Lovey-Dovey Demon, has been released! Yay \o/



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

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2183430

MLDD is a VN that's been in process for quite a while. I wrote the script back in 2021, and it took me a while to piece the whole story together. The Steam store page was up for over a year before I finally released it, so some people have been waiting on this one for a while haha

It might have taken me some time to finish this project, but I tried to use this time to ensure that it's as polished as possible! The main artist, Kimoreen, did a great job with the character artwork, and all of the cute chibi cut-ins by Konayachi are adorable!

I also had some help from Harmonie of Asminae Games, who created Reborn a Zombie (available for free on Steam), to do some work on the various visual effects in this VN. That means this VN has some fun effects during the CGs which I've not added to any of my previous projects such as light rays, animated particles, and moving fog. I think it helps the VN pop, and it brings the story to life!



Speaking of the story, it's a pretty cute, light affair which takes a lot of cues from typical BxG slice of life VNs. It's quite chill and relaxed, and there isn't much in the way of conflict (which might be a bit of a rarity coming from me lol), so this should be a good read if you're looking for something cosy. It's pretty similar to The Language of Love in that it's a wholesome BxG romance story, though it has a bit more of a comedy focus like My Dear Prince.

Everybody put a lot of effort into this VN, so I hope you all enjoy it! ♡

As always, let me know if you find any typos or bugs in the VN, and I'll try to fix them up within a reasonable timeframe!

My Lovey-Dovey Demon will be released soon! 💗

Hello everybody! It's ebi \o/

I'm just writing a quick announcement to let you all know that I'll be releasing my cute romance VN, My Lovey-Dovey Demon, on Steam in a few weeks!



My Lovey-Dovey Demon is a cute story set in modern day Japan with a young male protagonist, Taiki. Taiki is spending the summer vacation at his grandparents' home in the countryside alongside his younger siblings.

During his vacation Taiki's sister, the naughty Nene, sneaks into their grandfather's study and starts rifling through his books about the occult. Taiki tries to stop her, and in the chaos, he inadvertently ends up summoning a demon from another realm.

This demon has horns, wings, and a tail, dresses in black, sharp teeth...

And she also happens to be utterly adorable!

This demon, Elisabeth, is immediately attracted to Taiki. Now, he's stuck being buddy-buddy with a cute demon girl, when all he wanted was a bit of rest and relaxation. What's a guy to do?!



My Lovey-Dovey Demon is a romance VN with a male protagonist, which feels pretty rare coming from me. I think the last time I wrote a cute BxG romance story was The Language of Love, so I hope people who liked LoL will be similarly charmed by this story!

The premise of My Lovey-Dovey Demon pretty goofy and it doesn't take itself too seriously. Tonally, it's pretty similar to My Dear Prince or Strawberry Vinegar, so anybody who enjoyed those stories might like this.

The VN is more or less completed, and its build has been approved by Steam. I'm still waiting on a few more assets, but I should be able to release it in early January.

I hope you'll enjoy My Lovey-Dovey Demon when it comes out! If you want tbe notified when it releases, you can either follow my Steam developer page or wishlist the game here:

Fragile Feelings released on Steam

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. It’s 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!

Yuri VN The Fairy's Secret released on Steam

Hi everyone! \o/

I’m writing this announcement to let you know that I've recently released a sequel to my cute yuri VN The Fairy’s Song called The Fairy’s Secret! The Fairy’s 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 Fairy’s Song and it has a similar tone. It’s 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 Fairy’s Song and wanted to read more about Marnie’s adventures, then you should enjoy The Fairy’s Secret!

You can buy it on Steam here, if you’re interested:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1994760/The_Fairys_Secret

And I’ve also put The Fairy’s 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 Fairy’s Song and The Fairy’s Secret bundled together for an even deeper discount than you’d get buying them individually here:
https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/30485/The_Fairys_Bundle/

I hope you’ll enjoy reading more about Marnie’s time in Fenchapel with her cute knight girlfriend!

Yuri VN Dreamy Planet released on Steam

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 hasn’t 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 Haruka’s 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!

Yuri VN 'My Dear Prince' released on Steam

Hi everyone,

I'm writing a quick post to let you know that my newest yuri VN, My Dear Prince, has been released on Steam!
It's a cute, fluffy story with a focus on comedy and slice-of-life elements, set on a fictional Japanese island full of rabbits. The story details the developing relationship between the slightly neurotic lead, Momoka, and the cheery tomboy, Aoi.
Tonally, it shares a lot of similarities with Strawberry Vinegar, so if you enjoyed this VN, there's a high chance you'll enjoy MDP too.

I hope you like it, if you choose to check it out!

Strawberry Vinegar Update

Hi everyone,

Just to let you know, I uploaded a new build of Strawberry Vinegar. This update changed a few things, including:


  • slightly edited/updated UI
  • a complete rework of the CG gallery code
  • updated sound effects
  • some small edits to the text (mostly rewording the odd sentence here and there I thought was awkward/stilted)
  • and the sprites have blinking animations now. Amazing!!!


I also compressed the sprites a bit, so now they take up less space. The game is about 500MB smaller because of it, so it should be quicker to download!

These are all rather minor changes all around, but hopefully it adds some polish to this rather old release and brings it more in-line quality-wise with my newer releases.

If you find any problems with the new build, such as achievements refusing to trigger, typos, or graphical bugs, please feel free to tell me.

Thank you for your continued support! It's appreciated!

Strawberry Vinegar update

Hi guys,

Just letting everyone know that I recently released an update for this VN.

In this update, I...

1) Fixed a lot of typos and grammatical errors, as pointed out to me by a helpful proofreader
2) Edited a handful of scenes to make them 'flow' a bit better
3) Edited the animated fireworks effect, so it should no longer cause eye strain
4) Updated the game to the newest build of Ren'py, which should help it run more smoothly. Maybe?
Well, the conversion certainly broke a bunch of my old code, which meant I had to redo it. Let's hope it was not in vain.

If you find any more typos/bugs in this new build, be sure to let me know! I appreciate all your feedback!
