The Good People (Na Daoine Maithe) | Official Trailer
The Good People (Na Daoine Maithe) is a lore-rich and choice-driven historical fantasy visual novel inspired by Irish mythology and Celtic folklore. Play as a tenant farmer from mid-19th century Ireland, whose path becomes inexplicably entwined in fairy affairs after getting robbed by the roadside and lured into the mythic and war-torn world of Tír na nÓg: A once unified land, now divided into the Seelie and Unseelie Courts. Will you escape and return home with your stolen belongings? Or does fate have something else in mind?

Facts & Questions: The Game
🍃 The Good People (Na Daoine Maithe) is a Kickstarter-funded project currently in development. Due to the scope of the story, we will be releasing it serially over several years to Steam and Itch.io, and discounting it while in early access. The earlier it's bought, the cheaper it will be overall, and you'll only need to buy the game once!
🍂 Not all routes are currently available! As of May 1, 2026, you can play Shae and Maeve's routes (both 70k+ words) and a side story starring Shae's sister, Brigid. If you're not sure about paying for early access, feel free to check out our free demo first. It consists of Vol. 1, Book of the Traveller (the pre-route content). We are currently working on Flannán and Aífe's routes!
🍃 The Good People (Na Daoine Maithe) has a recommended reading order (Vol. 1, then 2, then 3, etc.), which will correspond to the release order of the routes. For more information on our reasoning behind this, click here.
🍂 Due to its setting, The Good People (Na Daoine Maithe) will occasionally feature instances of characters speaking in Gaeilge, i.e. the Irish language. All instances of Gaeilge are linked to an internal translation tool, which is voiced by Nigel McKeon, a Gaeilgeoir.
🍃 The main character is yours to shape. At minimum, you must choose a nickname, pronouns, and one of three default appearances. Alternatively, if the default options are not to your taste, you can leave the sprite 'blank' or mod in your own artwork (instructions are included in the game's files). You may also choose to discard the True Name…
🍂 All routes, both current and upcoming, will have both romantic and platonic choice options. If you're uninterested in romance, feel free to make friends instead! No matter the nature of your relationship, you will still be able to reach the good end. (Want to learn more? Refer to this post!)
🍃 Our cast consists of two men, two women, and two non-binary characters. All are romancable no matter the MC, but some characters are asexual or on the aromantic spectrum, which may impact aspects of their romances.
🍂 If you are a Mac user and are having issues launching the game via the Itch direct download, refer to this guide for troubleshooting before sending us an ask. We strongly recommend purchasing the game through Steam instead of Itch if you are a Mac user; it is the best way to avoid issues with launching the game.
🍃 NDM is very intentionally set just prior to the onset of the Great Famine, which is both thematically and textually relevant to the leftist, anti-imperialist story we're aiming to tell. If you would like more insight into this, refer to this post.
🐎 There are secrets to be found in this game, with more yet to come. Prepare yourself for a lot of horse related shenanigans. 🐎

Some Mother’s day art featuring Maeve, with some spoilers for the ending of her route.
Tbh while Órlaith is entitled & selfish like many of the other nobles of the Seelie court, I still feel bad for the Dowager Queen’s situation. She lost everyone she ever cared about due to the war. King Anraí was a terrible ruler, but that brief glimpse of Órlaith crying in the throne room hints she genuinely loved & greived him, so maybe he was a better husband than he was a king?🤔
She missed seeing her daughter grow up due to the war, not sure if Órlaith spent much time with her daughter, considering IRL royals had nannies & staff do most of the child rearing, but I like to think she at least tried to be with baby Scáthach enough to hear her first words.Considering Maeve barely remembers her parents, she was probably pretty young when she was sent to Dúntúlán, around pre-school age. Yet at the end of the Maeve’s story route, she still recognized her mother even after so long apart.😭
Does make things a bit awkward for folks romancing Maeve to know their potential mother-in-law already can’t stand them. 😥Órlaith already considers “Daonna” rude/useless, depending on how the player treated her during their investigation. Then to find out the Seelie Court Druid isn’t even the real one, just a poor tenant farmer from Ireland, who is also courting her only daughter?!
Afternoon, fateful friends! We're once again delighted to be part of the Otome Games Celebration fest on Steam! With Shae and Maeve's routes complete, now is a great time to nab The Good People (Na Daoine Maithe) at 20% off!
What's this game all about, you ask? Well...
You play as a humble Irish farmer that gets swept into the Otherworld and quickly entangled in its politics, i.e. the aftermath of a civil war that split the land of Tír na nÓg into the Seelie and Unseelie Courts
There are two routes fully out right now: Shae's route (Book of the Soldier, Vol. 2) and Maeve's route (Book of the Warrior, Vol. 3).
Both routes are over 70k words long, with good and bad endings depending on your choices
You can choose to romance the characters, or keep things strictly platonic
💚 Shae's route will have you embarking on a quest to help a soldier find the Seelie's long lost princess and true heir to the throne. She was presumed killed by the rebellious Unseelie...but was she?
🩵 Maeve's route has you hunting for a murderer, but matters quickly go awry as you start to uncover other fateful secrets... All revolving around Maeve and the Morrígan, Goddess of War.
Still unsure? Play our free demo, comprising of Vol. 1 (Book of the Traveller), which will let you meet the whole cast. Remember, we have four more routes in store! Next up will be the Unseelie King and the Seelie Queen...
Tell your friends! Tell your enemies! Fall in love! Fall in friendship! Breakup? Doom the world?! The choice is yours! Remember to review!

Good morning, fateful friends, and Happy Bealtaine!
We are delighted to announce that the grand finales for Shae and Maeve's routes are finally here! We are so excited to share the end of their journeys with all of you, for better or... Well, you'll just have to play them and see!
Here are the highlights:
All told, the final word count is 73,304 for Shae's route ("Book of the Soldier"), and 72,888 for Maeve's route / ("Book of the Warrior").
Both routes feature two main endings, influenced by the totality of your choices.
There are four new CG illustrations to collect from our lovely guest artists, which correspond with the main endings.
Lastly, the good endings have a few variations, depending on your relationship status by the end of the story... Which will give you a nice little achievement in-game (and on Steam)!
(For Steam users, the update will be automatic. For Itch users, you'll need to download the latest version.)
Slán go fóill, but keep an eye out! A certain King and Queen have been demanding centre stage now...

With Spring now upon us, we thought it would be a good time to talk about our next release date for The Good People (Na Daoine Maithe)! While later than we had hoped for, the final chapters of Shae and Maeve's routes will be released on May 1, 2026.
We apologize for the additional delay on these chapters, and want to thank you all for your incredible patience. Our goal had been to get these routes finished this month, but unfortunately one of our developers experienced a death in the family. Naturally, this took precedence over the release.
Nonetheless, the routes are exceedingly close to finishing: Maeve's route is 100% done, and Shae's is only missing a CG, voice acting, and some editorial attention on the last chapter. The endings are tantalizingly close, and we're very excited to share them! Won't be too long now…
Slán go foill!
- The Fates
P.S. We have a new logo! Full roll-out will be in the May update, but here's a preview of it for now :)
Did I miss an update? Was there a specific reason Maeve's sprite outfit changed?
There was indeed an update! Chapters 6 - 8 of Shae and Maeve's routes are now available to play ^^ If you're on Steam, your game will update automatically. For Itch players, you'll need to redownload the game.
As for Maeve's outfit, she underwent a redesign to be more aesthetically consistent with the other sprites. We felt her original outfit from the demo was too modern.
i completellyyy forgot about this game for a while, i didnt realise you guys have already released it! very happy to see it show up on my dashboard again. has the price increased from its initial release yet? since i see its been updated at least once. would it benefit you guys more if i wait until its full price?
Not yet! We will most likely increase the price when we release the first halves of Aífe and Flannán's routes, which are still some ways off (but up next after the last two chapters of Shae and Maeve in March!). We wouldn't recommend waiting tbh, earlier sales + reviews (especially on Steam) is better for exposure. But if you'd like to pitch in a little more, we do have a Patreon! Only one tier atm; basically for our behind-the-scenes Kickstarter updates and longer lore posts.
Merry Christmas, fateful friends! Ɛ:} Have you read the latest chapters yet? If not, make sure to update your Steam and Itch games! (And if you're new here, NDM is currently on sale!)

🐎 There are secrets to be found in this game, with more yet to come. Prepare yourself for a lot of horse related shenanigans. 🐎
Facts & Questions: The Company
🧵 Moirai Myths is a five-person company based out of Canada. The core devs/founders go by Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos. All writing and programming are done by this collective, i.e. the Fates.
🪡 Moirai Myths has a two person in-house artist team consisting of Kazane, our Character/UI Designer, and Melinoe, our Environmental Designer. In addition to them, we have had a number of guest artists assist us with the creation of sprites, CGs, and an assortment of other materials. If you'd like to meet them, check out our about page on our website! We are staunchly anti-generative AI; our art will always be made by humans.
