I have good news \o/

My dark boys love / boys hate visual novel, All Scars and Starlight, has been released! If you're reading this devlog, then you should know you can buy it here on Itchio!

Scars is a grim story about a deposed king, Yuel, who is taken prisoner by the leader of a rebellion and his older cousin, Tavi. Though Yuel initially despises Tavi for overthrowing him, complicated feelings begin to develop between the pair as Tavi refuses to have Yuel executed, despite the warnings of his advisors.

Wanting to keep Yuel safe, Tavi hides Yuel away in the palace where his political enemies can’t hurt him - but the biggest threat to Yuel’s life soon proves to be Yuel himself.

The story has choices and multiple endings, so there’s a few different ways it can pan out. It’s quite a dark story which deals with topics like self-harm, suicide, and sexual assault, and the main pairing are cousins. The story also contains explicit sexual content, so you need to be 18+ to check it out.

Scars takes place in the same universe as one of my other VNs,  All Ashes and Illusions, so you might want to read that too to get to know the characters better. I also wrote a few more stories about Yuel and Tavi in happier circmstances (Unluckily in Love, To Have and to Hold, and All Idleness and Ephemera) if you like them and want to read more about them. To Have to Hold is even free, how cool! 🎉
