🌊 RELEASE ANNOUNCEMENT 🐙

My Otome Jam project is a psychological/drama/romance visual novel about a sweet marriage that slowly rots into a nightmare. Try to navigate a rocky relationship with your husband and unravel the mysteries surrounding him over the course of seven days. You can play it here!

Your life should be perfect. The perfect career. The perfect family. The perfect husband. And bit by bit, that perfect life is cracking all around you.

As your life falls apart, you retreat to your family's estate on a remote island. But after a storm washes away your only means of escape, you find that you're trapped with your devoted, perfect husband... who might not be the man you married.

🌊 Customize your character with your own name, pronouns, skin color, and sexuality.

💍 One male love interest who you're already married to! No work required! (Although things could be going better for you two.)

🐟 3 days and 23k words in the demo (~2 hours playtime)

📖 Different font options to customize your reading experience.

🐙 A bittersweet, emotional story with darkness waiting for you under the surface.

🖥️ Playable on Windows, MacOS, Linux, Android, and browser.

Please note that this project is in active development. (The final game will contain 7 days, 50k+ words, and 8 endings.)

This game deals heavily with sensitive topics, including mental health and grief, with discussions of things like drug abuse and suicide. Please review the content warnings and play with discretion.

The game currently contains 3 out of a total of 7 planned days. I plan to release the game episodically (although maybe I'll release it all in one big batch... still deciding). I don't have any specific release dates since I do like to keep games in the oven until I'm sure they're ready, but I plan to finish the game within a year (as long as someone can restrain me from adding more assets...) I won't spoil anything, but players can expect the final endings to be very bittersweet.

If you'd like updates, I post my monthly devlogs here on itch.io, so you'll see the updates in your feed if you follow me! I also plan to post more often on Bluesky, with weekly devlogs on my Patreon.

I hope you all enjoy the game if you decide to check it out! And please check out the other Otome Jam entries as well, I'm sure there are a lot of good ones! 😊

Until next time,

Chattercap

Helloooo! Quick question is by chance you still continue my husband is a stranger (the game broke me in tears when there a part 14 month ago and I'm lit in tears how beautiful the writing and the game is)

Oh gosh, I'm so glad that you enjoyed the game! And yes yes yes, of course!!! The game isn't dropped in the slightest! I am just really attached to this script and these characters, and I want to make sure the final version is the very best that I can make it (I am, unfortunately, a bit of a perfectionist with a game development fixation).

I'm actually currently considering revamping fairly major parts of the game, which is why there have been some delays with the production. I can't go into too much detail since I haven't made a final decision, but rest assured that I'll share an update once I've finalized things a bit more. (Hint: There might be some very pretty new art with the next update! ;) )

hello! just wanted to ask if MHIAS will be free and can be played in browser when it's already full release? thank you in advance, have a good day<3

Oh hello!!! Thank you for the question! 😆 Regarding MHIAS, I'll have to check when the full game is complete, but I think it probably won't be available on browser 😅 in all likelihood it'll be too big file size-wise... If it's small enough I'll definitely put it on browser, but otherwise the browser version will just remain the demo content and the full game will be available for Windows/MacOS/Linux/Android!

Regarding the pricing, the full game will be free (all 7 days and 8 endings). I'll also have a paid DLC available as a bonus with a couple extra endings and some bonus content, but it'll be entirely optional material that expands a bit on the lore and some scenes, with some special guest art!
