oh my god!! I can't believe my timing lol, I've been checking up on your page intermittently for two+ years now because they lifted my spirits so much when I was younger and feeling down, but I hadn't for a while- and now I find it's releasing tomorrow? :)))) I remember playing your demo when it first came out, and getting those warm and fuzzy feelings that are basically imbibed within your games, and while I doubt I can buy it on release, I will as soon as possible <3333
I've been keeping up with your countdown on Twitter, and after a year I can say that I've only grown more excited about this!! It's going to be the first VN I've played in a couple of years and honestly, I couldn't be happier. The Magical Otoge series has held a special place in my heart for years; even before the Iris demo came out! So thank you- and I hope you can take a nice relaxing break after this :]
Hello! Is it alright if I do a no commentary playthrough of all the routes on my new yt channel that showcases indie games and visual novels? I love the game so far :)
I can't believe it's only one week away from it's release! I binged all of your games perhaps... two years ago? And I've been excited for your first paid game installment! I'm thrilled to support you and get access to all the puns and tears galore :D
HELLO????? OHMYGOD IT’S COMING IT’S ALMOST HERE OMMGGGG I’VE BEEN FAWNING OVER THIS GAME SINCE FIRST PLAYING THE DEMO I’M SO EXCITED TO EXPERIENCE THE FULL THING AAAAAAAA BATENSAN YOU ARE MY SAVIOR YOUR WORKS BRING ME EVERLASTING JOY!!! MARCH 19TH CANT COME ANY SOONER ISTG >o< YOU’RE REALLY THE BEST FOR BLESSING ME WITH THIS GAME
Omg finally!! it's coming!! I AM SO GLAAAAD TO SEE THE FINISH LINEEE!!
Batensan, i really need u after this shitty year :((
Only your weird sense of humor can lift my spirits!! (like ik this is gonna be dramatic, but there is also a lot of silliness on it, and i plan to enjoy every bit of it)
After magical otoge ciel (Let's roll like a log AKDJSKDSAKd I honestly don't know why that joke killed me, but I still laugh at it every time I remember it) I became fond of your games. They're such a big part of me, and my happy place, so thank you for making these games, thank you for being an amazing creator, and THANK YOU for that magnificent sense of humor, you make me happy, you make other people happy, and that is a blessing, you are my blessing <3
Honestly, thank youuuu!!
I can't wait to play this game, and every other project you make in the future :D
Dearly, a shut-in who occasionally stalks you on social media(??)
!!! Thank you for waiting for me for so long...!!! T___T I hope I'll live up to your expectations with this game!!!╭( ･ㅂ･)و At the very least, I promise that I'll make you smile!!!!!
Please play the clown dating sim I made (if you haven't already) in the meantime to ease your pain 🤡🤡🤡
I'm excited! Can't wait for March 19, I'll make sure to wish you a happy B-day! :D
After trying to create a visual novel myself, I saw that it's pretty hard to do, especially with the coding, and then...I get lazy. That makes me appreciate visual novel creators more!
I'll make sure to thoroughly enjoy this otoge when it's released~~
Yeah, it's a lot of work! But if you take it piece by piece, it'll be less overwhelming to tackle! For example, making really little goals of learning how to add sprites in, how to change the font, and all that. Good luck!
Thank you!! I ended up using a lot of the Wynrou route material in Rieffe's, so I highly doubt I would make a full Wynrou route in the future. At most, maybe a short "what if" scenario ending in the future?
Just wanted to drop by and say I had a lot of fun with the demo, I was smiling practically the entire time! I'm really excited for the full release now, I'll probably buy it right on launch day, keep up the awesome work! XD
Your games are absolutely wonderful! Its amazing how much work you must put into this, your wayyyy too underrated. I loved both your previous games and I hope you continue your development at a comfortable pace. Please don't overwork yourself and take your time, I was also wondering this the full release of this is going to be free? But anyway hope this year goes wonderfully for you <3
Can't wait for this to be finished! Love your writing and storytelling so much. Hope you're taking care of yourself out here and not overdoing it! Hope your 2021 has been okay so far.
Omgg I'm in love with this game!!! Just like Magical Otoge Ciel and Anholly (Those games made me emotional for a whole day OOP). Andd I might be playing this until my lifespan is over cuz im 'accidentally' simping for Henri. I'm excited for his route and the full release!
Side note: Please don't pressure yourself <33 Wish you luck for your future games and this! (◕◡◕✿)
I LOVED this game omggg I cant wait till the final release! Def gonna recommend this to my friends The characters are all so likeable, its a super engaging and interesting story, and i was on the edge of my seat the entire time. I even played whilst eating dinner cause I couldnt bring myself to pause playing! (possible spoiler below???? since I saw this part at the end of the demo) though i wish there was a date route for henri, i have a soft spot for tsunderes~ but im happy with how many routes there are already! lots of space to play over and over c:
I'm so excited for this game, I'll definitely buy it when it's released! I remember when I was like 15-16 I found your games and I absolutely fell in love with them. Your works made me want to make visual novels- and while it's not something that's happened yet, it's still always on the back of my mind. So thank you and good luck with the rest of the development!!
I'm really looking forward to this game! I am curious, though: Will it be free like the other Otoge games (Ciel and Anholly,) or will it be a paid game? Because I have thoroughly enjoyed both of the previous ones available on Itch, so they hold a special place in my heart, but I don't know if I'll be able to play if it's paid, which would be extremely disappointing. However, I understand if you are making it paid, as I can only imagine how much work it must take to make these games.
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the demo! Yes this is basically my full time job now, so it along with almost all of my next games will be paid. The price range will be somewhere around 20 USD, though some future games will be cheaper because I don't want to make them as long as Iris.
Okay, thank you! I completely understand making it a paid game, and seeing as how well your other games did I’m sure Iris will do great! Hopefully I’ll be able to buy it then, because what I’ve played of it so far is great (and I really want to play Lanneis’ route, he’s my favorite among the characters in the demo). I’m looking forward to it, and can’t wait to see it come out! Best of luck! <3
i've played pretty much all your games and have been waiting for almost 2 years now! please take your time with this one, and pls take breaks when necessary!! i'm definitely buying this game when the full release is out... keep up the good work! :DD
Hi! Both of them are under construction and don't really have relevant/important information anymore, so I decided to keep them locked until the real game!
omg, I love your games so much, I finished Ciel yesterday and started playing iris today, and is so good, your art style, the dialogues, the character, everything!!! I love you omg- :')))
Ah and- I still in the 1st chapter and I felled for Val when he cried, I love any time of crybaby, short or naive boy and I just want to know, will he be a route?:( I really hope so, I read some comments for what i see Henri is the side-route character and hA, I'm sorry for him but for the little bit I saw from the demo see him getting fluttered cuz he likes Iris and she is all like ":000?" Will be the best thing, even though I still loved him and want him to be a oficial route- I hope I can see the full game soon, keep with the good work!:D
I'm glad you liked both Ciel and Iris so far!! ^o^ Thanks for playing!!
For now, Val isn't intended on being a route, but will be a Best Friend route depending on what main route you're on. For now, Val is supposed to be a BFF route on Wynrou and Rieffe's routes. Each main route, you get the option for two different BFF routes, and you pick one!
I was thinking that if Iris' game does well enough (it'll be a paid game), I wanted to make a free update where there will be a couple of extra routes, including a Henri ending and Val ending, and others!!!
This game, honestly, it was a somewhat short demo and I already fell in love with almost every. single. character. I wonder if Septem will get a route too? He's kinda adorable.
ALSO, poor Henri, his tsundere personality is rather cute, but someone has to be sacrificed for the sake of comedy.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it! And yes, Septem will be a route (though you have to unlock him by playing Reqieu's route). The initial available routes will be Rieffe, Lanneis, Wynrou, Reqieu, and Septem!
im looking forward to this game please do your best ! though just a question what about 'Anholly's game will it have a relation to this game ?(ಥ﹏ಥ)(ಥ﹏ಥ)
Anholly's game isn't really related to Iris! But there will be some references to her :) One of the characters will mention Anholly. Two people related to Anholly will appear, too!
Nice game I really want to play full verison.Thank u for your eforts :) and Heroine's drawing is beatiful I fall in love with her can ı be a capture target?I don't my herione to be stolen :(

It is! It's not a direct sequel, but they happen in the same universe/have references!
Hello! Is it alright if I do a no commentary playthrough of all the routes on my new yt channel that showcases indie games and visual novels? I love the game so far :)
Sure! Though I prefer commentary playthroughs!
I can't believe it's only one week away from it's release! I binged all of your games perhaps... two years ago? And I've been excited for your first paid game installment! I'm thrilled to support you and get access to all the puns and tears galore :D
(ಥ﹏ಥ) Thanks for waiting for me all these years...! I hope it lives up to your expectations!!! <3
OMG I'm so happy to see you're continuing with the game. I can't wait to buy it.

*Hands cookies with milk*

Thank you so much~~! I'll work hard!!
Yeah, it's a lot of work! But if you take it piece by piece, it'll be less overwhelming to tackle! For example, making really little goals of learning how to add sprites in, how to change the font, and all that. Good luck!
Will the game also be released on Steam?
I'm hoping to, but it might take a few more weeks/months after the itch.io release!
T 0 T It's been so long but we're finally at the end. I can't wait to see this finished.
(bless your gacha)
(╥_╥) Thank you...! I hope you enjoy the full game! May your gachas be blessed as well...!!!
Quick question, after release (which i'm very excited for), will you ever plan to add the Wynrou route back in at some point?
Hope you are taking lots of rest and are well!
Thank you!! I ended up using a lot of the Wynrou route material in Rieffe's, so I highly doubt I would make a full Wynrou route in the future. At most, maybe a short "what if" scenario ending in the future?
Ah ok thank you! Can't wait to finally play it!
I'm so happy for this games release! take care of yourself and stay healthy!! much love
Thank you!!! You stay safe, too!!!
I'm super excited for this game! Do you mind if I ask how long it'll be? Will it be a lot longer than Ciel?
The script is at 276k words! It's about 4x longer than Ciel...! 👻👻👻
Just wanted to drop by and say I had a lot of fun with the demo, I was smiling practically the entire time! I'm really excited for the full release now, I'll probably buy it right on launch day, keep up the awesome work! XD
T___T Thank you--!!! I'm so excited to show you~!!!!
Is it possible to unlock the gallery and extras in the new updated demo O: Because I played through the whole game and it's still locked.
On a side note, I love all the new sprites! Playing this gave me so much joy I can't wait until the full game comes out
!!! Candy!! Thanks so much~~!!
It's not possible to unlock them!! Just something to look forward to in the full game--!
Your games are absolutely wonderful! Its amazing how much work you must put into this, your wayyyy too underrated. I loved both your previous games and I hope you continue your development at a comfortable pace. Please don't overwork yourself and take your time, I was also wondering this the full release of this is going to be free? But anyway hope this year goes wonderfully for you <3

I really love your games, I was thinking about "project ID", will you do a remake of it? I really like that game.
Ahaha wow, you've even played ID!! I have a lot of new things planned so probably not, but that game has a special place in my heart too :D
Hi! Both of them are under construction and don't really have relevant/important information anymore, so I decided to keep them locked until the real game!
I WANNA DATE THE SWORD
( ͝סּ ͜ʖ͡סּ) All according to plan...
SAME
Your writing is as always, so fluffy and touching.. you always manage to pull off the delicate balance of sadly nostalgic yet wholesome and chirpy.
HHRHHRGH Thank you so much, that really means a lot to me....!! T___T Because that's exactly what I'm trying to go for.....!!!
I am so READY for this game! ;-;
Thank you!! I'm writing it as we speak! ^o^ Thank you for waiting for me!!
waiting for wynrou 😆 hopefully he’s a romantic character
He is, actually!! I hope I can write his route well!!! ^p^
omg, I love your games so much, I finished Ciel yesterday and started playing iris today, and is so good, your art style, the dialogues, the character, everything!!! I love you omg- :')))

any news on release? I’m for Wynrou 👀
I've been trying to work on it more dedicated recently! It's er, going to be a while though lol
If it helps, I'm almost finished writing Lanneis' route, and the entire script so far is at 102,000 words! Wheezes-
im looking forward to this game please do your best ! though just a question what about 'Anholly's game will it have a relation to this game ?(ಥ﹏ಥ)(ಥ﹏ಥ)
Thank you, I hope you like what's in store...!!
Anholly's game isn't really related to Iris! But there will be some references to her :) One of the characters will mention Anholly. Two people related to Anholly will appear, too!
I love the Magical Otoge games. The art is bright and airy and the dialogue is funny and heartfelt. Excited to see more about this one in the future!
Nice game I really want to play full verison.Thank u for your eforts :) and Heroine's drawing is beatiful I fall in love with her can ı be a capture target?I don't my herione to be stolen :(
I really like your art in your games...its really pretty ^^
