What’s a visual novel?
A visual novel is a game with little traditional “gameplay.” The player reads text on the screen, accompanied by visuals and audio, and follows through a set story. However, they can make choices to determine the story’s route and the ending. Think of it as a choose-your-own-adventure book, except in a game (and with art and sound!).
What’s a BL game?
A BL game is a boy’s love game – a game that focuses on a relationship between two males.
Which version should I get?
On this page you will find both the full releases of the game and the demo version, which is free. We also have support for Windows, Mac, and Linux — just download the appropriate version for your system. Also, please note the rating of the version you download.
Why did we make this game?
A lot of our inspiration comes from the popular Nitro+CHiRAL games (namely, Togainu no Chi and Lamento: Beyond the Void), as well as a fantastic doujinshi VN, Cage -Open-. We wanted to present the BL visual novel community with our own take on the genre, and we aim to create an experience that will be unlike any other.
