✨ Our visual novel in 4 screenshots! ✨

The Phantom of the Black Rose Revue is a romance/horror/drama game inspired by The Phantom of the Opera and Rose of Versailles 🌹

🖤 Play the demo: yamino.itch.io/black-rose-r...

Screenshot from our game, made in a shojo art style. Chihiro, a young woman with long curly hair is looking vulnerable, eyes closed. She's thinking "Everything you've done for these past few years has led you to this moment."

Chihiro is talking with another a woman with a black suit and short black hair. They're looking into each other's eyes. Chihiro is thinking: "Hm, what do I feel comfortable telling her?). The scene is framed with sparkles and roses.

Chihiro is in the Revue's backstage, in front of mirrors, dressings, drama costumes (including the outfit of Sailor Moon) and a wig of Sailor Moon's hairstyle. The player, as Chihiro, has three choices: look in the mirror, check her station, check the drawer.

Two characters are in a corridor, backstage: a tall man with dark short hair and technical tools, and a woman with long black hair and bangs, named Tomiko. She looks angry and very upset, and is saying: "What did you say?"

Chihiro looks conflicted as her hands are also clasped by two other women- Tomiko, a dark-haired diva who smirks over her shoulder as she kisses Chihiro's hand, and Raika, a dapper woman with short hair and a suit who winks while looking up at Chihiro and kissing her hand. They are surrounded by emotive, textured lines.

Who's "they"? I can't speak to all game makers, but ours is not going to be an R-rated game. (Nothing wrong with those, but there is variety I'm the genre)

Princely Girl Games @princelygirl.bsky.social · Feb 25

Thank you, darling!
Our team is working busily other full game and we can't wait for you to see what comes next!🖤

I actually have it on very good authority that people love dating fiction people 💅

Josh @joshmlabelle.bsky.social · Feb 22

I once worked on a visual novel game where all the surveys and focus groups said that nobody wanted romance, they only wanted mystery and sci-fi.

Then 75+% of clicks in-game went to stories with explicit romantic or sexy themes.

www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

'These kids do not care about romance': Game devs want to know what today's teens want, and surveys say sex and romance isn't it

Young people want stories about friendship more than romance, say researchers and industry execs.

I dunno if we'll ever get THIS spicy in the game, but I felt bad that I hadn't done any shippy art of exclusively Chihiro and Tomiko 🐭🖤🦢

Finally, it’s everyone’s favorite cheeseburger-loving stagehand, Kaito! A staunch believer of the supernatural, he is responsible for most of the rumors regarding the Phantom. Chihiro can trade food such as burgers and chocolate with him to get more energy for daily activities! 🍫

Kaito, stagehand of the Black Rose Revue, smiles. A cheeseburger sticks out of his toolbelt.
