The Phantom of the Black Rose Revue is a romance/horror/drama game inspired by The Phantom of the Opera and Rose of Versailles 🌹

Screenshot from our game, made in a shojo art style. Chihiro, a young woman with long curly hair is looking vulnerable, eyes closed. She's thinking "Everything you've done for these past few years has led you to this moment." Chihiro is talking with another a woman with a black suit and short black hair. They're looking into each other's eyes. Chihiro is thinking: "Hm, what do I feel comfortable telling her?). The scene is framed with sparkles and roses. Chihiro is in the Revue's backstage, in front of mirrors, dressings, drama costumes (including the outfit of Sailor Moon) and a wig of Sailor Moon's hairstyle. The player, as Chihiro, has three choices: look in the mirror, check her station, check the drawer. Two characters are in a corridor, backstage: a tall man with dark short hair and technical tools, and a woman with long black hair and bangs, named Tomiko. She looks angry and very upset, and is saying: "What did you say?"

Panel 1: Shen is sitting up in bed looking at his watch, panicked, yelling "OH MY GOD I'M LATE FOR WORK!!!" Panel 2: Shen is sweating, hurriedly putting on a shirt and tie, holding a suit jacket in one hand and holding a toothbrush in his mouth. Panel 3: Shen is running with a suitcase, speed lines in the background. Panel 4: Shen is running into a building labeled "Drawing Yuri at Home In My Sweatpants"

I once worked on a visual novel game where all the surveys and focus groups said that nobody wanted romance, they only wanted mystery and sci-fi.

Then 75+% of clicks in-game went to stories with explicit romantic or sexy themes.

'These kids do not care about romance': Game devs want to know what today's teens want, and surveys say sex and romance isn't it
Young people want stories about friendship more than romance, say researchers and industry execs.

I dunno if we'll ever get THIS spicy in the game, but I felt bad that I hadn't done any shippy art of exclusively Chihiro and Tomiko 🐭🖤🦢

Here's a sneaky peek at some of the many, many more illustrations I am working on for the full version of this game!

The full game is still far from complete, but if you liked the demo you're going to be blown out of the water by what our team is putting together!

Finally, it’s everyone’s favorite cheeseburger-loving stagehand, Kaito! A staunch believer of the supernatural, he is responsible for most of the rumors regarding the Phantom. Chihiro can trade food such as burgers and chocolate with him to get more energy for daily activities! 🍫

Madam Kaede is the no-nonsense guiding light of the Revue’s talents. Though sometimes overbearing, she cares deeply for the theater. She’ll help Chihiro learn the ropes of performing on stage. Don’t let her know Chihiro has chocolate, though. 😬 It won’t end well.

Everyone needs a personal cheerleader in their life, and Mia is Chihiro’s! With her 🦆 duckling hair 🦆 and boundless enthusiasm, Mia spends her free time with the actresses of the Black Rose Revue! She hopes to join our cast on stage in the future, just as soon as she’s old enough!

Seen stalking submerged in shadow, the mysterious Phantom of the Black Rose Revue is often dismissed as nothing more than the creaks and cracks of the aging theater. Not much is known about this rumored figure. Catching a glimpse of her is said to be an omen for ill tidings. 🥀🖤
