Teresa: "That's me. I'm part of that shitty kingdom!!!"
Armed with knowledge of the game's future, Teresa decides to intervene and erase the event that triggered the beginning of the original story.
-But actions have consequences, and instead of the protagonist, Teresa finds herself drawing the attention of the villainous underground organization, Snare.
*Note: This game contains blood, violence, and character death. Also expect scenarios you would normally see in other isekai stories such as kidnapping, etc.

This game is gorgeous! The visuals, the soundtrack, everything is so well crafted; it really shows how much passion has been put into this.
I was wondering if you were interested in a free Spanish translation for the game. I am a final-year student of English-Spanish translation, and I'm currently looking for a project to get my degree. If you are interested, I would be very excited to work with you.
Keep up the amazing work; your game is awesome!
If you are interested, please contact me at:

I played the demo and enjoyed it. Managed to make it to the end the first time without dying by being a continuous dick to both Edel and Vicenzo.
I do not know if this is intentional, but when I went back through to choose nicer or more receptive options I was always killed by Edel and it wasn't really clear why? What decisions trigger him going sicko mode?
It's not a matter of being nice or mean to them, rather, it's more like this: https://itch.io/post/8021977
-Whose route would you choose first? And why?
I wonder if there will be a route where we could kill both of the love interests lol. I would try to go for that route first, not that I hate the LI's, but they both frustrated me sometimes during the game, Edel for killing me so many times and Vicenzo for being too cocky, but I guess that's a part of their charm lol
Hi! I recently purchased the Special Dialogue option but it seems the form is no longer open? Is that the case? Just wanted to be sure I hadn't made a mistake. Thank you very much for your help!
Do you mean that the link in the .txt file isn't working, or do you mean that you can't download the .txt file that has the link?
Thank you for your quick response! I can download the file, and the link does open a form, but I can't fill it out. It shows the message: "The form Contact information is no longer accepting responses."
Thanks for informing me! Looks like my drive prevented any form of editing cause it was almost full😅
Try again if it works now.
It's working now, thank you so much for your help!! ^^
For context, I have only played 1 run-through of the game, aiming for Vicenzo's route.
There are 2 questions I'd like to answer for feedback!
Whose route would you choose first? And why?
I liked Vicenzo's overall character design and personality over Edel's. Vicenzo's design sold the whole "2-faced" prince vibe and I loved it. His white hair and fox-like expression make him feel innocent yet deceiving and playful.
I think Edel's character just wasn't for me. He felt like a dilf (lol I'm sorry I like pretty boys) with an unaesthetic look to his messiness.
What's your favorite scene/event?
My favorite scenes would have to be when the mc came to eat food with Vicenzo and Edel, and the final scene with the creepy text!
I loved the first scene because I thought it nicely explored each of the characters. Such as the mc's love for food, Vicenzo's obsession for spicy cupcakes, and Edel's undying loyalty to please and obey his master. It was funny how you could force Edel to eat a spicy cupcake (lmao). Honestly, I feel like it was much deserved because he threatened us. Plus, it was cute and funny to see him react the way Edel did (testing the bounds of his bond with Vicenzo LOL).
And for the final scene, I liked it because it was the first time we (as the reader and not the mc) felt just how cruel the game can be, which is fun! Playing a romance game and then suddenly remembering how scary these situations actually are, makes it all more immersive and engaging.
Sorry for the long feedback but I hope this helps! I had fun playing the game and look forward to seeing more!
bro the "STAY PUT" felt like she was hoping a dog she was training would remember the training lol!
TERESA IS SO REAL, like its always the 'interesting' 'amusing' and sometimes it 'your not like other girls' so frickin annoying T-T. She's so relatable, why are main characters so dense.
answers to the descriptions questions:
I was drawn to this game for Count Vicenzo , two faced fox troupe x soft for mc troupe/would kill for mc possibly? is *chefs kiss* and honestly stayed for MC and Count Vicenzo them being together is such a delight, I love every scene that Vicenzo is in and also where he punishes that trollish butler for her, may Edel lick dirt off of the tiles mc walks on
yeah when it comes out my wallet will shed paper tears for your game 100%
in my opinion yes but also the sadist in me wants to see Vicenzo get a bit crazier when protecting her from trollish butlers >:) side note: I love his eyes
I have been playing the demo non-stop for about an hour now. I don't think I've laughed like that in CENTURIES. I love the main character, and the plot is super interesting, the little chibi drawings to show her inner emotions are the best 10/10.
yass! a new update!
oooooooo new demo update!!!!
so excited to play >-<
There's no new story content (that's only available for early beta access), but there are a few minor visual updates 👍
ooo oki doki thx for making that clear lmao (im still playing it again >:3)
Tell me if everything works! :>
Everything seems to be working just fine! I played the browser version and the images no longer look pixilated at the beginning either!
Just like Penelope and her ducks, Amazingggg
-Whose route would you choose first? And why?
Edel, cause contrary to real life it seems I want to be murdered in games.
-What's your favorite scene/event?
The moment Edel villainously laughs at us after the interview haha
-Are you interested in playing the full release? (The full game will be PAID)
I think it'd be totally worth it, and I would if I could.
-Are the LIs villainous enough for you?
Yes.
olá,sou brasileira e não sei inglês e queria saber se vai ter alguma tradução para português?
(se eu puder comprar quando sair completo eu vou)
ITS SO GOOD! Especially the humor. It kept me cackling until I reached the end
Helloo I wanna ask what programs you use for making games? Love the art btw, the demo was really fun I really wanna buy the game but I dont have the money rn (I do plan on buying it in the future :3)
Renpy!
And dw, there's plenty of time. And I mean, PLENTY cause I've been slow😂
DEMO was really nice! I loved the effort put into the sprites, animations and sfx even though i assume it was tedious putting those in. The art is quite unique with the watercolor style and i just really like the subtle details... C'mon the cute blue loading screen rose? Ackk
On another note, i was seriously stressed for my girl. My choices got her killed in the end, but! I'm most looking forward to the world building and relationship progression between characters because they seem to have a lot of depth. How much do you suppose the final game would cost? ^^
I hope you got the demo ending by the end though!
For the price, it's mentioned in the FAQs.
Hello, sorry to bother, I would like to know how you make sure your character assets are not in the download folder, I'm going crazy so I can protect my assets, thank you
If you're using Renpy, make sure to archive them (search that up) by checking options.rpy.
THANK YOU SO MUCH I LOVE YOU! <3
So i am going to buy the early bird sometime this week, but how long will it be available for? Also when the next update happens will there be more story to the early bird discount?
I'll be closing it once full release is near or when it runs out, whichever one comes first. Either way, I'll be making an announcement for that.
Any early access update is only for the $30 and up tier. Early bird discount will be getting theirs on full release, alongside everyone.
Nice. Well ill be patient lol
This was amazing!!! The art, voice acting, story, facial expressions, soundtrack, and dialogue were incredible. Everything is so polished. Thank you for this masterpiece. I've played other visual novels, but this was my first actual Otome! I'm definitely looking forward to future updates and plan to buy the full game. :)
I love this game so much, AND THE ART OMGGG I LOVE UR ART AND THE GAME PLUS ITS A GOOD STORY THIS GAME IS UNDERATED BUT NEEDS TO SEEN
Aww thanks!❤️
Rating the game *cough*5stars*cough* might help it be seen 😉
LOVING SO MUCH
-Whose route would you choose first? And why?
IDK HAHAHAAH can I answer both?
-What's your favorite scene/event?
The first time I saw Adel face, made my jaw drop
-Are you interested in playing the full release?
(The full game will be PAID)
sure why not
-Are the LIs villainous enough for you?
welp, I think can you make Lis more villain because in some scenes I still see the humanity in Lis
I really loved this game, but omfg it was so hard to not die 😭😭 (but even if Edel kills me, I loved his character, and I'm just so anxious for when the game updates)
One more thing! I played on my phone so Android service, and it went really well tbh, didn't it crash or anything just appeared sometimes messages saying that it was disabled and I guess it was because it was a demo, so everything it's good!
Thanks for testing the Android build!
And yes, some options are still unavailable OvOb
questions !!
-Whose route would you choose first? And why?
i think i'll go with edel first because i really liked the masked guy, but vicenzo is out there tryna get me aswell
-What's your favorite scene/event?
the engagement talk with mc's family kekekeke
-Are you interested in playing the full release? (The full game will be PAID)
yes the game really stole my heart
-Are the LIs villainous enough for you?
they are (i got scared lol but it's good
i was looking for a game that could maybe take away my boredom AND BOY was i hooked!!!! havent had that amount of fun in a while!!
i absolutely loved the game and all the characters! mc's has a nice personality and so does her friends and twin, but the two villains were really top notch! they both are so scary and mysterious, but are also very funny and mischievous, which was really enjoyable to see as love interests!
now i'm sad that the demo is over because i was planning on staying up til morning playing it T-T can't wait for the full game to be out!! keep up the good work <333
este juego es asombroso podria decir mas palabras pero al final volveria a lo mismo, me encanta vicenzo, sin duda pagare por el juego si no tiene un precio demasiado caro, mi moneda no es el dolar asi que a mi conversion me saldra mas caro pero aun asi amo este juego
So it wont let me buy this game with my card? Help please i want Vinny😭
If it really doesn't work, I also have it available (limited slots) on my Ko-Fi!
*Note: The game is still under development, and there's still a possibility of the release date getting pushed back.
when i go to pay using my card it doesn't show up. I really want to play this game more lol. Is there more content then what the demo has right now when i buy it?
That's likely an issue on Itchio's part, so I couldn't really help with that😅
Only for the early beta access tier. Currently, there's a short extra scenario from where the public demo ends, but they should be getting an updated build TBA.
I want to say thank you for being a dev who actually engages with your fans lol as cheesy as that may sound i really do appreciate it🩵😝 I have seen other devs who will get comments on their games and never respond then ultimately dropping their game because they don't listen to or even take time to engage in their community so i just wanted to say thank you 😉 🩵 Now back to the game i will buy it on the website soon and also i do have one more question. I actually downloaded it on the Android version (runs smooth by the way no crashes, freezes, or anything) so my question(s) is when i buy the game soon will i be able to play it on the android still? Will my progress save? (I have zero 0% problems playing it over again as Vinny will be mines or me his😅🩵 lol) Thanks again🩵😝
Oh, thanks for testing the mobile version!
With the current (unreleased) build I'm working on right now, it should -theoretically- be able to load the old save file, however, I've made some changes that may break the game's UI if you use an old save file, so I wouldn't recommend that. Additionally, if you're sticking with the Android build, I've previously addressed that the mobile version won't be receiving any update until after I complete the game, as stated here, as I will have to customize the UI for a more comfortable mobile experience (which, again, can only be done after finishing the complete build).
(Dw, it's not cheesy!😄)
The art of this game was so damn pretty! I love the texture of it and the sort of watercolor vibe it has!
Really loved this game! The MC was so funny, laughed out loud multiple times.
-Whose route would you choose first? And why?
I always like to go with the route that I organically end up on first, so I started with Vicenzo.
-What's your favorite scene/event?
Love the muffin scene! I also really the scene were Edel started laughing.
-Are you interested in playing the full release? (The full game will be PAID)
Yes!!
-Are the LIs villainous enough for you?
Yes... but I also like that they aren't too villainous though.
So i cant denie that i love this story so far. I might buy the full game but want to know how much? The pricing i see above is confusing lol. As for the questions:
-Whose route would you choose first? And why?
I wasnt aware there were other routes since i figued the mask man in beginning was not the boss. Might replay later to see.
-What's your favorite scene/event?
I can't answer this because i found acouple parts deemed too good. But the part that gave me the spooky a bit was when we said how tge stone was stolen and how Vinny (yes my nickname for the cutie) said how they should have their tongue cut off😭😝
-Are you interested in playing the full release?
(The full game will be PAID)
Depends on the pricing. I really enjoyed this game and really do want more but i won't pay and over exaggerating price. No offense to the creator of the game but that's not something im comfortable with doing as other games i buy are usually either discount price, my brothers money, or just at a certain price range but i won't say more as im already sounding very petty🤣
-Are the LIs villainous enough for you?
I love this damn game ok can't lie. As a girl who can also keep a deadpan face, her emotions inside and out are somewhat relatable. As for Vinny (again yes that's his name now from me😏) my i can't wait to see how this story goes with him. Maybe a ending with him wouldn't be so bad. Edel STOP TRYING to kill me😭😤
-Other comments are welcome!
Mobile version works nice and same goes for the window version. My only thing would be if you can add a ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO OVERWRITE THIS SAVE FILE because i accidentally saved over a part i wanted to go back to. While i was able to go back to choice with the backward and rechoose my choice, its still something that would help people like me lol
This game is very good. I wish not to spoil much so if you are debating whether or not to download, I say the demo is enough of a reason. Try it out and you won't be disappointed. I'm not😏
For the pricing, the regular price will be $9.69, but I'm running a donation promo with reward perks, one of which is 'pre-ordering' the game for $6.69 (early bird discount). Donations will go into funding the game development (since I won't be running a Kickstarter).
Details should be in FAQs!
So if i just want to buy the game i only pay 10? That's actually better then. Is that something i can buy right now or no? You have now won me over and now Vinny (yes still calling him that will be mine or me his i do not care😏) Is there more of story avaliable right now if i am to buy? Also is will my progress save or will i have to restart? I wouldnt mind restarting if that is case im addicted😝
my apologies as i have just read the FAQs lol as of after giving a response back lol. Also really random but my brother does some Voice acting on the side. If you would want more in game i can see if he would be interested lol
loved the game and forgot it was only the demo which got me sad, i wont be able to afford the full game if it is released but good luck with it lol
-Whose route would you choose first? And why?
honestly i likd both Edel and Vicenzo, but i'd def choose Vicenzo
-What's your favorite scene/event?
every scene that contained Vicenzo lol
-Are you interested in playing the full release? (The full game will be PAID)
i wouldnt be able to afford it so no :(
-Are the LIs villainous enough for you?
Edel, yes. but Vicenzo didn't exactly show his villainous side, which i was excited for!!
Such a good game! I was so sad that it was only the demo. I love it so far and will be waiting for the completed version.
Questions!
-[Whose route would you choose first? And why?]-
That's tricky. At first, I preferred the appearance of Edel, but as the story went on, I quickly put together who the boss was and enjoyed their personality a lot more. I think it would be interesting if there were another love interest, the prince for example, and if they somehow played a part in the Snare.
-[What's your favorite scene/event?]-
I enjoyed the beginning scene, as I had never played an otome before and was happy to get the definition.
-[Are you interested in playing the full release?]-
I would love to buy the game! I sadly am only able to play on a browser so if you can make it compatible with Chromebooks or playable on a browser, I would be forever in your debt.
-[Are the Love Interests villainous enough for you?]-
Oh my god. Yes. I love them, although I wish there was more of a villainous side for Vincenzo. Maybe there is and we just haven't seen it yet.
-[Other comments are welcome!]-
Well, I have a few things.
First, I knew someone named Vincenzo and I wanted to check if the pronunciation is Vin-Chen-zoe
Second, is there a playable version of Eternal Blessing of the Stars?
Other than that I loved this and can not wait for the full version!
Have you tried the downloadable version on your Chromebook? It should be playable with that.
I've been pronouncing it Vi-chen-zoh🤔
Nope, Eternal Blessing of the Stars is just a fictional game.
Also glad to see an otome first-timer(?) trying this out!☺️
Sad about the game being fictional but I will try downloading it.
Ahh! It's so good, *after looking who the author is* No wonder I liked it so much! It's the same person who did Trapped with Jester.
Okay, but anything else aside, thank You for a great story, can't wait to see more :)
can someone tell me how many love interests were in the in-game otome she reincarnated into?
i know there's the prince, eric, and henry, but who's the last one?
1. chose vicenzo because i love a psycho with morality
2. favorite scene is a certain violent one in a certain garden.. idk i just loved the description
3. i will be very very interested in paying for the full game (when i am not broke)
4. i love vicenzo's villainy because he seems to have a sense of justice? edel is ok. sadists are ok i guess. but he should STOP ******** ME? THIS IS THE THIRD TIME
5. comments: daydreamed about this for the whole day <333 im so in love. and i just found out this was made by the same person who made that story about odysseus and penelope + duck puns?
talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, shit on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it
guys go play pre-odyssey
ahhhh so excited for the full game!
-Whose route would you choose first? And why?
super hard to choose! vincenzo is oddly really sincere, but i love edel's foxlike vibe :3
-What's your favorite scene/event?
making edel eat the muffins LMAO
-Are you interested in playing the full release? (The full game will be PAID)
YES!
-Are the LIs villainous enough for you?
yeah!! i like that vincenzo seems, while genuinely really menacing, to have his own moral code. and edel is a wildcard luv it
-Other comments are welcome!
i wonder if there will be a route for the prince? he's an interesting character
-Whose route would you choose first? And why?
I think I would choose Vincenzo, it feels like the smoothest route to flow into considering we are in a trial engagement.
-What's your favorite scene/event?
I like all the dialogue scenes with the FL's inner thought bubbles. They are very relatable and funny. For Vincenzo I think the scenes of him laughing are cute, for Edel it was nice to see him show his dark side early on.
-Are you interested in playing the full release? (The full game will be PAID)
If I ever reach a point I can pay for the paid game, yes would definitely consider this game. I honestly want a manga version of this as a story!
-Are the LIs villainous enough for you?
Hmmm it's hard to say because I feel like they are not? But I think it's more to do with the awkward way we see the dark side. The part that I think worked well as a villain side was the ending part for Edel. The initial scares feel a bit strange because there is this "he wouldn't dare" so it isn't as scary but it's too intense to be subtle.
RIGHT! Just wanted to ask whether the game will have the option to speed up the text speed? :D
Nope. Is it not fast enough?😮
AAAAAAH, I'M SORRY ABOUT REPLYING AFTER 3 MONTHS :C But, eh, yes, if possible since I read quite fast and my wrists are not as good as they used to, so double clicking all the time kinda hurts my hand after some time, unfortunately.
Hmm... it would be difficult to implement as some sacrifices would have to be made. It'll be unlikely. I can't promise anything😅
I don't know if it helps, but the Android version might be less of a strain?
-Whose route would you choose first? And why?
I would choose Edel first because we meet him first and he's really cool. He's also a very very pretty man so I would obsess over him the most, and he just seems like his route would be more interesting.
-What's your favorite scene/event?
My favourite scene is after we meet Edel and he laughs at us. He just seemed like a funny person.
-Are you interested in playing the full release?
This game is all could think about since I started playing, so if I have enough money, I would definitely play the full release.
-Are the LIs villainous enough for you?
The death endings and stuff were unexpected and scary, so I think that they're enough for meeee!
This was such an amazing game! I've been replaying over and over again! The MC's inner thoughts made me laugh quite a few times because that's what i always think when playing Otome games!
-Whose route would you choose first? And why?
Hard for me to choose but I would have to say Edel, I love his character so much! In all honesty, when we made a deal with him at the beginning my first thought was if he was an option.
-What's your favorite scene/event?
Definitely when Vicenzo forced Edel to eat those muffins. I had to take a second and laugh. Made me question if Edel was okay after that and if he drank a gallon of water just to get rid of that taste.
-Are you interested in playing the full release?
Definitely! It was so entertaining to play! I'm super interested in what you can do later on in the game, and I just couldn't handle that cliffhanger!
-Are the LIs villainous enough for you?
I'd say yeah, I like how they aren't too villainous to the point where you don't even want to talk with them but they aren't good people either and you can see that.
Can't wait to check this game out when it releases :D
The game has a problem with Android administration. Can you fix the problem?
I don't know what that means... someone had already reported that it works for them, so if it's not installing at all, then it might be a compatibility issue which I could do nothing about, sorry.
