Big progress update: new goth girls, locations and mini-games.

We usually share our updates on social media, but we decided to let you know about our progress here as well. Since we’re a small team, things sometimes take a bit longer, but every step forward is something we’re genuinely proud of.

So here’s a quick recap of what’s already done, what’s currently in progress, and what you can expect to see in the first demo, which is coming soon :)

A fact we mention whenever we can: all of our characters are created completely from scratch, no AI.

You’ve already met Eva on our Steam page, and during the first few months we focused heavily on refining her look and personality. What we love about her is that she doesn’t feel like just a “pretty girl asset”. And we truly hope you’ll feel and appreciate that when you experience the game yourself.

Lilith is the second romanceable character in the game. Working on her definitely took more than just a day as well. Her influence on the story would be a spoiler, so for now we are simply admiring her dangerous beauty, which also took a lot of effort <3

But would a modern visual novel really give you a choice of only two girls?... More is coming soon 🖤

At the moment, we’ve completed almost all of the locations. Here are four of them that we’d love to share with you:

We still need to polish and, of course, show you a few more key places. But we are really trying to keep the quality bar high with our new art style <3

Thanks to Just Date and Just Date Vegan, we already have a solid base, but this project is bigger. However, our scope has changed. Everything familiar will be improved and polished even further, essentially becoming twice as good. 

On top of that, we are expanding the gameplay itself by adding mini-games, making the overall experience more interactive and varied. Here’s the game UI with pipes:

Now we’re getting back to work. If you like this post, feel free to ask questions!

And don’t forget to wishlist the game. It really motivates us to keep going and reminds us that all this work truly matters <3
