Hey, have you seen this absolutely stunningly gorgeous game that's coming out soon? The one you need to wishlist today?

store.steampowered.com/app/3072470/...

Crimson Waves on the Emerald Sea: Amaranthine Moon is beautiful and these character designs are so cute? You need this Otome in your life.
A detailed photospread showcasing the Victorian Vampire Otome Game, Crimson Waves on the Emerald Sea: Amaranthine Moon. Photo Credit to @arimiadev.com At the center of this photo you can see a steam deck running the game, showcasing a scene in which Rowan, one of the love interests, says to Lucie, the Protagonist, "I saw one of your recent letters among my father's papers and I was hoping to run into you eventually so that I might apologize in person, and to hear your proposal." The steamdeck is surrounded by red, black, and pink roses as well as smaller pink and white flowers with large round green leaves. An acrylic stand with the game's promotional art, featuring Lucie and all three love interests rests behind the steamdeck. In this artwork, Lucie sits on a chair while Cecil leans on teh chair behind her, Rowan sits on the left arm of the chair, and Elm rests alongside the chair while holding a book in one hand. Beneath the steamdeck is an art print of Lucie and the three love interests, showcasing the three men surrounding Lucie while she looks wistfully into the distance. Two chibi style character charms are also present - In one, Lucie is tugging on Rowan's arm to lead him in another direction; in the other, Lucie is coyly sneaking up behind Elm to see what he's reading while Elm sits on the grass. Both charms have a pink, Bat shaped keychain clip. A screenshot of the Victorian Vampire Otome Game, Crimson Waves on the Emerald Sea: Amaranthine Moon in which Lucie is smugly smiling at Cecil, who looks confused and alarmed. They are standing in the corridor of a University classroom building while Cecil says "H-how many murderers do you expect us to find?" A screenshot of the Victorian Vampire Otome Game, Crimson Waves on the Emerald Sea: Amaranthine Moon. In this screenshot, the screen is dark as Lucie and Elm are hiding within a small coat closet. Lucie is show in a diagonal cut-in along the top right of the screen, looking smug as she peers down at Elm who is focused intently on untangling Lucie's hair. Lucie is thinking, to herself, "...He looks so soft and winsome when he kneels down like that."

Sometimes a bite to eat is just too good...
It only lasts until the next bite, of course, but it's splendid nonetheless. Perhaps a bit simple compared to Ambrose's other undertakings, but perfectly cooked.

Just when you've avoided being attacked, stumbled upon a crime, and side-stepped talking to a copper, the only thing you can't avoid is...your older brother.

Puzzle Spy International is a hybrid VN/puzzle game: It's a 1960s spy adventure where you travel the world, chat/flirt with contacts and solve substantial thinky puzzles.

Demo on steam - s.team/a/3406690 - and also on Itch.
Agent Epsilon - Dark skin and hair, teal and charcoal mod mini-dress, warm smile - chats with Inspector Ewan Danger - blond, chiseled features, natty vest and tie and a big tan trenchcoat. They're standing in front of the old New Scotland Yard, with Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament in the background. The scene is all blue and the art style is mid-century modern. The player has two choices on-screen for how Agent Epsilon can interact with Ewan: "Give a Friendly Greeting" or "Chat Him Up!" (British Slang for "flirt with him.") Agent Epsilon is confronted by Stefania Plinth, who is agrily gesturing and saying "Those diavoli! They broke in here and stole the Eswatini Giant!" Both women are in 60s outfits, Epsilon in a teal mod short-sleeved dress and Stefania in a blue and cream dress with a wide collar and double-breaster buttons up the front. She's got cats-eye glasses and her hair is in a tight bun. Both are standing in the geology museum, with display cases of rocks, framed phots of how plate tectonics work, and a T-rex skeleton in the back. The scene is purple and gold and the whole thing is drawn in a mid-century modern art style. A scene at a cafe with a bunch of people, ach one with a text entry box next to them. You have to figure out who each person is. There are a number of clues (some in fake Latin to avoid spoilers) on the side to help you deduce the identities. (Example: The first one says "Embarak is reading.") A puzzle screen with lots of cards with colorful illustrations on them, and a bunch more with just text on them. Agent Epsilon is in the corner of the screen pointing at two UI buttons labeled "Hints" and "Check answers." She is saying "Here’s the hint button in the corner! Use it if you need a little help solving a puzzle. We don’t track hint usage and there’s no 'score' so you’re free to use it whenever you need some help."

Over blood splatter, text reads: "Like, who needs a soul anyway?" Angel Idiot says, "What part of 'bound to you for all eternity 'til desires are granted' did you not understand, my girl?" Him and Demon Idiot are fondling the frustrated girl in the middle. Gemma says, "If she's not scamming people, she's in her own little world." Text reads: "She rolls her eyes at what she might call 'greed and desperation' whereas I'll call it 'pride and dedication." Two girls who currently don't like each other are standing.

Sketchy sprite of Marlow standing in her office, overlaid with the text: I’ve made the mistake of thinking I might actually make it home this evening. It’s late afternoon—the sun’s starting to dip, long shadows snake across my desk. I’m no stranger to working into the thin hours, but with no urgently pressing cases for Marlow & Associates, I’m thinking I might just close up shop soon. That’s when she walks in. Just the face I’m sick of seeing. My lack of a secretary betrays me, as with but a single knock she sees it fit to let herself right in. Should I be grateful for the knock? Photo of an antique cadillac headlamp, overlaid with the text: “It’s a special lens, cut in such a way...” I trail off, thinking of how to put it. “Look, on you car’s headlamps. The lens has this series of parallel cuts, designed to concentrate and project a beam of light.” “So it’s a big goddamn headlamp.” She struggles to be impressed. “What, you saying headlamps are dangerous?” Photo of an antique crystal radio, overlaid with the text: “Crystal radio.” I watch the faint glimmer pulse as I carry it with me, circling the edges of the room. “Lucky find. This one has an exposed diode, too.” “And how does this help us?” Her chin is cocked out arrogantly, but her voice betrays a hesitant curiosity... in a I-wouldn’t-admit-my-lack-of-knowledge kind of way. Funny thing, that, considering I’ve definitely explained this to her before. Photo of a dark spiral staircase, overlaid with the text: Somewhere high above us, there should be a spinning beacon, and yet... The darkness seems to reach upwards endlessly. Like heaven is a bottomless pit.
