Jun Route Spin-off!!!

🎉 Heartstop Tour has officially been out for a month! 🎉

We’ve been reading all your lovely comments, and one thing is clear: everyone wants Jun. So guess what? You’re getting what you asked for: Jun’s route is officially in development! (Along with short after stories for Julian and Riku)

We don’t have a set release date yet, but we’re aiming for Q4 2025. Fun fact: Jun’s route will be twice as long as Riku’s and Julian’s.😋

We’re a small team of passionate volunteers working to bring this game to life, and while the game is free to play, it takes time and resources to make it as polished as it deserves to be. If you’d like to support the development, consider donating to our Ko-fi! Every single contribution, no matter how small, goes directly into making Heartstop Tour even better.

As a thank-you, we’ll feature the name of every donor in the game credits, regardless of donation amount.

We also have a feedback form to voice your thoughts on the game, which will greatly help development processes to suit your needs :D

And that’s not all: an official Heartstop Tour Artbook is in the works to celebrate the game and support its future development!

Thank you so much for all your support. We’re beyond excited for what’s ahead.

Kuma Bear>>>

The odds of being fired over a pink bear and subsequently meeting the love of your life are low, but never zero.

A brief pause in our scedualed Our Life program to spread more visual novel gospel.

I just finished the visual novel Heartstop Tour! I've great things to say about it. It's an adorable vn that took about 3 hours to play with two amazing love intrests. If you love soft art styles and heaps of comedy you may enjoy the game.

I'm avoiding spoiling it for anyone interested, but you play the game as a *slightly customizable* recently fired office worker in Japan. Depending on your choices you can meet either the bright and spontaneous Julian (who you may meet by impersonating a tour guide), or the thoughtful mascot Riku who works at your favorite Cafe!

The game is completed with multiple fun endings (that came so out of left feild they smacked me in the head) and gorgeous cut scenes.

All in all it was a 10/10 and a great way to spend some time, and was even more fun to play with friends fighting over the choices.

I also just want to take a moment to appreciate how adorable the comfort Kuma bear is....

The game and characters belong to @heartstoptour

Lucidity Update!

Hey Lucidity enjoyers!! It’s been a little while since release so we decided to break the silence to let you all know the full game is on its way…just bear with us! As we’re just a team of two with lots of obligations, progress is slow but it’s certainly happening.   While it’s difficult to pin a definite release date right now, I can say we likely won’t see an update to the game this year - we’ll be sure to keep you posted once we know more ourselves! 

We’d also like to extend a very heartfelt thank you to all of you who have supported Lucidity so far! Well over 400 people have played since it was released and we’ve received so much positive feedback! It’s certainly more than either of us expected from our project and we’re so grateful to each person who took the time to check out what we’ve made.

To make a long story short, Lucidity is NOT on hiatus! We hope to make more updates for you each month as we gradually get our grasps on making a dating game (and more so, finish one). 

With all our gratitude, thank you so much for your support and if you enjoy other indie games from other genre's please consider supporting K on his main game; Divine Omen !!!

Thank you,

STORY:

Princess Helen of Sparta is the most beautiful woman in the world, coveted by almost all the kings and princes of Greece.

Suitors from far and wide have flocked to their palace in hopes of winning her hand in marriage-

…But this isn’t about her.

Enter Penelope, Helen’s less popular cousin.

While staying at her uncle's palace, she encounters one of Helen's supposed suitors, the notorious 'trickster king', Odysseus.

However, this Spartan princess is also notorious in her own right...

... As the favorite daughter of Prince Icarius?

No, not that one.

I mean, as the notorious 'duck girl'.
