#perfumare vn

[jpriest85-blog]

Some Perfumare art featuring @pdrrook 's characters Jewel, Alan, Flavio, and Nino based on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia meme.

Jewel: How do three grow ass adults not know how to have an honest conversation with their significant other?

Alan, Flavio, and Nino: They're- The economy is in shambles.

The Perfumare sequel LIs may be professional adults with training and education considering they're respective professions. But Jewel is clearly the smartest LI in both games since she's the only one who understands how to have honest communication with her significant other.

[supercvt]

every few months i feel the urge to replay reed's route in perfumare because

1) he's just that good

2) being able to understand what him and flavio are saying in chapter 5 is always so satisfying

3) THE CONFESSION SCENE!!! HE SET THE STANDARD!!

[interact-if]

Any if recommendation with long slow burns and/or angsty scenes with the ros?

Do you have refs for longing/angst type of romance like something that has tension?

[twc-thoughts-you-didnt-ask-for]

Hi ^^! I hope you’re doing well 💖 I love your Wayhaven takes so I was wondering what other IFs you enjoy?

Honestly TWC opened up a massive can of worms and I’m like drowning in them at this point.

Anything @pdrrook touches is absolute gold and I heavily recommend checking out Perfumare. I’m a Reed stan myself

The Golden Rose by @anathemafiction Is another big, big favorite of mine. The world building, the characters, the options, it’s all *chef’s kiss*. Couldn’t even tell you who I simp for most because I love all the ROs so much. Also one of my absolute favorite subscriptions on Patreon :)

The Soul Stone War by @intimidatingpuffinstudios is another big favorite. Book 1 and book 2 are out, with book 3 in the works! Such a great author, the writing in this is so fun

Viatica by @fir-fireweed is a new one that I’m recently obsessed with as well. Such a unique story and I can’t wait for more updates

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes: An Affair of the Heart by @doriana-gray-games is also such a fun one. The writing is fun, the characterization is fun, and who doesn’t love a mystery. Would give my life for Watson

Not an IF necessarily and more of a VN but I’m on my knees begging anyone and everyone to play Our Life: Beginnings & Always by @gb-patch

[pdrrook]

Hi Rook! I had a question about Perfumare: Avulsion - when you choose whether you'll go with Jewel, Reed or Laurent, do you lock in your romance/route in the way you do in the VN, or can you still for example leave with Laurent and then later romance Jewel or Reed? <: Curious because of the flirt options on the patreon demo, so I'm assuming this differs from the VN but wanted to ask just to be sure.

Hi! It doesn’t lock you at all, on the contrary, there are unique romance options if you go with a different RO.

The next chapter (club scene) will be like that, too, you’ll be able to take let’s say Laurent with you, as a friend, but romance Jewel etc. And just because you leave with i.e. Laurent doesn’t mean you have to take him with you to the club in the next scene, there will be an option to pick your branch again until like where the VN ends.

And there will be options to lock yourself out of the romance too, they will be marked with an icon.

Top 5 ro routes in ifs/vns you wanna try but haven’t yet? 👀

OHH nice one okok,,,

Syfyn's route in the exile. she's not really my '''type''' but judie insists that she's very different in the actual game compared to the asks and i'm pretty behind w reading + i trust my friend, so, i really wanna try that!!!

Yakov's in kotsam,,,, it sounds awesome and brainrot inducing, if only i could get myself to finish book 1 😭 similarly, and for the same reasons, Cían's in faith of gods!

Jewel's in perfumare. she doesn't really interest me romantically idk that's why i overlooked her (and nino is wife) BUT, rook's writing is brilliant i feel like i'm missing out on something amazing?

Roe's in blood moon! i tried but they arrive later in the story and i always get distracted by most beloved marco JKDSJK i will once i get the game 😌

D's in atoc. i am curious... eventually i probably will, but since it's a wip rn i'd rather focus on the characters i like the most

Ask me my "TOP 5/TOP 10" anything

[alexaplaysgames]

Time for attempt number 9999999 to get Alcide Esposito to stop LEAVING ME FOR DEAD I’m sorry when I said I wanted an Italian boyfriend this is NOT WHAT I MEANT

[stephschoices]

I’m coloring the drawings I did for my header and I’m excited to finish them uwu

[harvvdent]

Not Reed laughing at me because of "Marco the narco"

[honeybeegames]

Do you have any IF recs? I want to get into more but I’m not sure where to start

anon, you have come to the right person for this.

the golden rose by @anathemafiction - if you haven’t had the pleasure of playing the demo, you need to. my IRLs know i never shut up about ana’s writing or story or characters or anything. i was blessed enough to be able to beta the finished game and i can tell you all it’s amazing. i wish i could’ve recorded my reaction because my mouth dropped several times throughout. super excited for the release in april just so i can consume it all again 😭 the MC is by far my favorite character (even though you literally play them). if you play a snarky/flirty MC you’ll know why, LOL. i could talk abt the rose all day but i’ll stop myself here so the post doesn’t get too long, haha.

blood moon by @barbwritesstuff - i feel like this is one everyone recommends, but it’s for good reason, trust me. the romance is spectacular and it’s about werewolves, where could you go wrong? carrie and marco’s romances are by far my favorites even though they’re drastically different from each other, they’ve both managed to become my favorite characters. (also if you’ve played the scene where you stay behind to watch carrie and marco stays with you you’ll know why marco breaks and makes my heart)

mind blind by @mindblindbard - again, super popular one i’m sure you’ve seen recommended, and i’m recommending it again because you need to read it. like, one play through and you’ll understand all the hype around it.

the northern passage by @northern-passage - everyone and their mom has told you to read this and now i’m here with my own mother to tell you to read this. the world building in this is one of my favorites. the writing has me rolling around. lea has my heart in their hand and i can only hope they’re kind to it.

scout: an apocalypse story by @anya-dev - PLEASE. it’s so good and the characters are all so amazing and just, please. has one of the best ever friends to lovers romances (coming from someone who wasn’t that big of a fan of this trope before reading this) that makes me emotional. “is this what friends do?” MURDERED ME IN MY OWN HOME. BEAT ME UP WITH MY OWN HANDS. still not over it.

a tale of crowns by @ataleofcrowns - read it. now. you won’t regret it. every chapter has me rolling around squealing like i’m an otome game protag. also one of the few games i cannot pick a favorite character because all of them are so dear to me. even the side characters 😭 i adore them all. (maybe X more because they were my first route, but i still wouldn’t say they’re my favorite. i love them all too much.)

checkmate in three moves by @checkmatein3moves - the amount of RO’s is so crazy, plus all the variations. phew. the talent, the patient. the writing is so good too. i’m so invested in every single relationship that i have to play every single route once all the characters are introduced. mostly because i have no self control and love the way the characters are written. (am a sailormance before i’m human.)

virtue’s end by @virtuesend-if - another amazing one that’s coming out with a new (?) demo i believe. also has a great cast of RO’s and an MC i absolutely adore. i am in love with shea and elexis both so i’m not sure what I’m going to do 😁

wayfarer by @idrellegames - dnd inspired and it plays similar to that. failing stat checks is one of my favorite things to do, lol. literally purposely lost the fight against the count to get the confession scene with aeran so that i could scream into my pillow kicking my feet and shit.

the remainder by @the-remainder - more of a vn/if mix, but still really really good. the art is beautiful and the storyline has me hooked. i would give up my arms for ilar even though they do suspicious things.

perfumare by @pdrrook - agh this one had be staying up till 6 in the morning one night just to get through all the routes. i’m in love with the writing. has another super duper amazing friends to lovers route with an angry confession. you probably imagine by now i was rolling around in bed giggling while reading that part.

these don’t have demos but they’re some of my most anticipated WIPs so: ear candy by @earcandy-if, spilt milk by @spiltmilk-if, and witches of fengrove by @witchesofferngrove all deserve praise because they’ve managed to make me love their IFs without me reading their demo. super excited for them!

[jpriest85-blog]

Some more fan art for @pdrrook Perfumare VN featuring Jewel and my MC Liz.

As much as I love all the LI routes, Jewel is honestly the smartest one when it comes to dealing with feelings. Reed spends nearly a decade pinning on his save, and Laurent only confessed to having feelings for MC on his route since he thought he was going to die. Jewel, however, actually becomes pretty honest about her feelings once she's sure she can trust the MC, so of course she gets to enjoy smooches from Liz first compared to the other two.

AAAAAAAH

So here have some sketches of my recent Fav VN/IF characters, Perfumare. I can not express how much I like this game and the characters, just *chefs kiss*.

( flavios sketch turn out kinda wonky sorre😔)

characters & Game by @pdrrook

[interact-if]

Any VN’s with gender selectable mcs? I’ve played a few so I was wondering for more recs!

Here’s some visual novels with gender selectable MCs we found, but you can also take a peek at our itch.io collections to see if anything else catches your interest!

If anyone has further suggestions, please feel free to leave a reply and we’ll add it to the list!

(TPDR --which stands for Too Portuguese Didn't Read-- : LtGBtK will have an android version, but only in the distant future. Meanwhile, here's a small list of amazing IFs you can play on your phone + a fantastic profile with even more recs and awesome games!)

oiê! :D

Eu com certeza vou fazer, mas pra ser sincera é um processo que eu n sei NADINHA sobre 8D então vai demorar um pouquinho pra sair. Eu sinceramente não sei se alguém conseguiu fazer funcionar, mas espero que não, pq os botões ficariam muito pequenos, a letra tbm, as animações seriam estranhas demais... e em resumo tudo ficaria horrível UHAEIUHAEIEH!!! Quando eu for fazer vai ser pra deixar tudo lindinho! ;3 ♥♥♥

Muitooo obrigada pelo interesse! ♥

Por enquanto vc pode checar essa tag no meu tumblr pra TODOS os posts sobre LtGBtK e esse post pra ler várias short stories dos personagens, ver ilustras, curiosidades, etc. Eu tbm tenho alguns posts gratuitos no meu ko-fi.

Enquanto a versão android não sai, se vc estiver procurando umas Interactive Fiction FODAS que vc pode jogar no celular, aqui tem algumas (poucas) recs:

Exiled from court da incrível @beeanca-writing

Attollo da tbm incrível @attollogame

Perfumare (que é minha paixão intensa e vive no meu coração) da @pdrrook

E, igualmente incríveis:

Project Hadea de @nyehilismwriting

Speaker da @speakergame

Eeee absolutamente **TODOS** os jogos da @gb-patch . Our Life, por exemplo, já tem port pra android! ;D

[pdrrook]

I've recently started playing your VN Perfumare and fell in love with the settings and characters. I'm looking forward to when the IF Perfumare: Avulsion and eventual sequel are fully released.

After reading more here about the characters and their dynamics with each other, I can so clearly picture the hilarious mental image of Reed accidently calling Alan dad like that scene from Brooklyn 99:

https://youtu.be/L7pYTFOF-Vs?si=_TZjH8qC4c70gVKr

How do you imagine such a scenario playing out and how much would Reed be dying of embarrassment if he accidentally called his boss dad in front of MC while they're dating ?

❤️

Ohhhasdada Reed would be embarrassed af regardless of him dating MC or nah,  but Alan? Alan would brush it off feigning annoyance, only to strike a few days later with ‘I didn’t raise you like this’ just to see Reed shrivel and die from mortification again, and again. 🤭

🌰Chestnuts and Warm Milk🍂

My List of ~Favorites~ for Interactive Fiction and Visual Novels

(This is a work in progress so please bear with me)

Interactive Fiction:

The Wayhaven Chronicles (WIP Series in Development) - @seraphinitegames  (Look,,, I’m just... obsessed.. I can’t stop thinking abt it,,, and I'm..... sometimes, I read and I think I feel like I know what love is.)

Mind Blind (WIP) - @mindblindbard (I just,, UGH it’s so good. I can't even say that much because my feelings about it are so potent that everytime I see an update I try to tell myself to leave it alone to play larger portions of updates as a treat and everytime my willpower FAILS and I replay the demo like twice in a row)

Demon: Recollect ; Forsaken (WIP) - both by @bathalafiction (whew...WHEW!!! Are you kidding me?? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? Look. I was attached to Demon: Recollect. I loved it. And then I played the Forsaken WIP and now I can't get over my absolutely BOMB character design for my player persona. Also it's kind of fun being considered a jerk in the game, because it opens up a lot of different options that I usually feel bad about taking)

Shadow Society - @carawenfiction (the concept is so interesting,, I dream of more. Also Quaiel...baby...)

The Soul Stone War - @intimidatingpuffinstudios (also whew!! I really enjoyed it and the characters all picture themselves really vividly in my mind for some reason.)

Greenwarden (WIP) - @fiddles-ifs (reading this is like thick fog.. but in a good way? I don't know how to describe it without pictures but this IF smells like fog over wet grass)

Divine Intervention (WIP) - @divineinterventiongame (the concept?? UGH SO GOOD. For some reason it's always the first game I click to check for updates)

Golden (WIP) - @milaswriting (😈😈😈😈)

Blood/line (WIP) - @bloodlineoffical (simply put,,, LARRY)

Supernatural in New York ; The Bastard of Camelot (both WIPs) - @llamagirl28  (UGH Both of these are so good in their own ways but equally as exciting to see updates for. I haven't consolidated my feelings much further than "my MC for SiNY is so cute" and "Mordred is a child" but they're all generally positive.)

Ace of Spades (WIP) - @steph-writing (I keep thinking about,,, con........)

Nevermoore (WIP) - @asteristories (AHHHHH.... let me say it again for those in the back: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH)

Son of Satan: The Mortal Coil (WIP) - @sosthemortalcoil (YES.)

Shepherds of Haven (WIP) - @shepherds-of-haven (yes. I just have to sigh because it's very good and I like saying those funny little words of power. But also outside of the game I can only picture this game as a great, grey border collie)

Attollo (WIP) - @attollo (Also a very interesting concept, whoo... I almost forgot how immersive it was untill I played the demo again and was reminded of how 'into it' I was straight off the bat. Also the seperate, short little piece on the blog with Sysba was also really good and I had a dream about it the other day)

Into the Shadows (WIP) - @wynnakang​ (whooo.... I'm sighing again, but louder. I press restart and play the demo again)

A Comedy of Manors (WIP) - @sviyaginthegreat (I kept replaying options that I hadn't chosen before because I wanted there to be more lmao)

Fallen Hero: Rebirth - @fallen-hero (I think there's a sequel coming up? I haven't stopped thinking about this storyline since I finished it omg... the.. the details are really good and I've become ridiculously attached to my tragic villain? Character... she IS the standard for my reusable IF persona, or at least one of my most prominent ones ;-D )

Samurai of Hyuga (WIP series) - (I'm pretty sure multiplechoicestudios.com is the development blog for this game, or at least what I've been checking for updates..... this is a series with four book currently out.... and I've been playing through book 4 at slower than a snail's pace in a desperate attempt to prolong my experience. I really didn't think I was going to like it as much as I did but I got a little too into it and now I'm horribly attached to all the characters)

The Porthecrawl Witness(WIP) - @porthecrawl-witness (I'm pretty sure this is a WIP?? But ugh. SCREEEEEE- it's so good. It's SO GOOD. I really want to punch Talbot in the face. And Asher, if for a different reason. And sort of Staci just to try. Quinn is just a cutie I could never hurt him like that. Ugh but they're all so good and I forgot that I was reading a WIP untill it suddenly was over..... I'mfeeling really aggressive rn as I'm writing this, so please just note that the punch comment is meant as a statement on how interesting the concept and immersiveness of the characters and story is)

Forgotten Names (WIP) - by Alexandra_Zorila on the CoG Forum (turn the volume up. AHHHHHHHHHH!!! Look, look. It's..... delicious. It's SO interesting and I obsessively have a tab open on my computer to check for updates)

OFNA: Birds of a Feather (WIP) - @ofna (the vibes are so grey and smoky but the fog is definitely from a party smoke machine and the room is only dark because the walls are taped with those huge sheets of black construction paper that teachers use to cover their bulletin boards with... the game definitely falls in the 'dark and mysterious' genre but something just strikes me as really funny when I play it. Anyway it's good and it's in a lot if recommended lists for a reason. Also I'm very attached to my American Goldfinch)

More Things in Heaven and Earth (WIP) - @morethingsgame (in the same way that it's fun to play Guenevere in the Guenevere game or Mordred in The Bastard of Camelot, playing Ophelia in the sort-of Hamlet story is really fun. If anyone has read the Missing collection- which I absolutely love- by Margaret Peterson Haddix, this gives me similar vibes for some reason. Anyway, I really want to give Hamlet a hug and make him a flower crown or something)

A Tale of Crowns (WIP) - @ataleofcrowns (It's kind of not even funny how much I love this game... It's hard to even describe why I like it, just that it's so well rounded in terms of the story, characters, dialogue, and relationships. It's such an interesting plotline and it's pretty immersive. Also the first time I read the demo, there was an update as I was reading and the high that sent me on has very rarely been matched. Also Dara running to save my Crown in the tunnel?? 🤚😩🤭💓 ugh. UGH!! That's good food for my fool heart)

Scout: An Apocalypse Story (WIP)- @anya-dev (I'm usually not that into apocalypse themes/plots but I really enjoyed this game, and the plot was very good and intruiging... it really pulled me in and I like my character in the story a lot. I don't know why but it tastes like chikuwa, atsuage, and this specific type of carmelized onions that my mom makes sometimes)

Nothing left to burn (WIP)- @clowdee-works (......ouch. I *knew* what was going to happen and I STILL became attached to Drew)

Smoke and Velvet - @roast-ifs (It's good. And I am VEDY much into my character design. Also the story is really interesting, and I enjoy the setting a lot somehow)

Speaker (WIP)- @speakergame (very fun to play, and each update gets me more interested in the aspects of the plot. I also really like the little descriptions of what the characters think of the player)

The Nameless (WIP)- @parkerlyn (interesting plot, I like the characters a lot, and The aesthetics of this world are so interesting. Definitely had a good time visualizing what everything looked like)

Fields of Asphodel (WIP) - @asphodelgame (I think it's really cute so far!!! I like mythology in general, and the persephone/hades dynamic is *mwah!*... I like the way the story progresses in the beginning, and I think it works well in drawing the reader into the world. I also very much enjoy petting large dogs.)

...there are so much more.. and I have followed so many blogs.........

I'm not sure why I can't find it rn but there's this one WIP game that I really like where the MC buys a manor for like dollar and moves to go live there with her best friend and shenanigans ensue as they try to settle in and fix up the estate

Harbringer (WIP) - @harbringercog (....are you KIDDING me?? I was fully planning on just enjoying the demo and keeping a mental note to update the list sometime later,,, but this game... THIS GAME really made me fold. It's very immersive and regardless of how nervous the author claims to be after releasing the demo, it's of my humble opinion that those nerves can be calmed. It's very good. I was planning on procrastinating and reading a little bit and then going back to this essay I need to write, but somehow I got pulled in and ended up reading through the whole demo and it's apparent that I honestly had no chance of getting through this without becoming invested in the plot.... just... so good.. I'm very excited to see how this will progress)

Visual Novels:

Andromeda 6 (WIP) - @andromeda-six​  (I repeat: Obsessed, I come back every few months to see an update and I fall deeper into the hole every time...)

To the Edge of the Sky (WIP,, probably) - by Ajané (??) on Steam (I think, it’s been a while)

Next on my list to check out: Perfumare by pdrrook

Does.... does The Arcana game by Nix Hydra count as VN?? If so, then yes.

Similarly, the FictIF games are all entertaining, although Last Legacy and Heir to Love and Lies are my favorites rn (and.....unfinished....)

I also don't know if this counts, because I kind of consider Otome games to be their own genre, but on the Love 365: find your story by Voltage Inc. There are a bunch of fun stories, my favorite of which are: the Shinichi Kagari route on After School Affairs and the Saejima and Keiichiro routes on Bad Boys do it Better

..To be continued...
