This is the demo for our visual novel: Lover's Enigma
We are also on steam if you're interested !(perchance)
Being the only daughter in your conservative asian family is hard as it is, but having to also deal with the sudden passing of your husband and the strange haunting that follows, have left you in a state of uncertainty. Everything in your life has felt like a transaction, and yet you yearn for more, but can you really find happiness with your overbearing mother hovering above you and the strange supernatural occurrences in your home? You sure can try. Your choices will shape the story and lead to multiple endings.
This demo is currently being actively worked on! We're working our hardest to bring you the best Lover's Enigma experience to you, we thank you for being patient and hope you will enjoy the game!
In the demo, you'll experience the first four days of the story and interact with the main characters.
By the fourth day, the character with the highest affection will appear, leading to their route, though this branching will only be available in the full game. However, you'll still get a glimpse of what unfolds before that moment!
Be careful, there are a few bad endings lurking, so watch your sanity~
Had fun with the demo? 💕
Pop us on your Steam wishlist so even more players can meet our characters and join the fun! ✨

I would never cheat on my husband bro, I completely understand why the mc really wants to know what happened to Kazuki cause I would too. That is my man right there. He's so pretty.
Awesome game

Omg I really love this game!! I hope it gets even more popular soon since I love the art style and characters and gameplay and god I love everything, I hope the creators make more like this.
Hope you're proud, you made lots of us happy!!
aaaa thank you for your very kind words ;-; !! We’re really happy you enjoy the game and have many good reviews about it! <3 Working on the game has been quite stressful recently, but your kind words help keep us going !! ;-;-;-;
Thank you for your support <3 We hope you will enjoy the full game too ✧˚ ༘ ⋆｡♡˚
A really enjoyable demo that immediately pulled me in. The story is engaging, the mystery is compelling, and I loved the characters; they feel interesting and layered, even in this short experience. The choice-driven narrative already shows a lot of promise, and I’m very curious to see where the full story goes. Definitely one to keep an eye on.
Hiii! Just wanted to say that I love the game! I remember seeing an ad last year I think, on TikTok, and promised to play as soon as the demo came out. I don't think I ever posted a comment, though, so here it is! Haha excited to see the full thing :))
Thank you for your comment!!! :DDD And for playing the game as well :0! <3 We’ll be releasing the game in late march! Hope you’ll enjoy the full game too! :3
playing this at night was probably my worst idea but so far it's amazing! I did end up accidentally clicking the option I didn't want and it ended in a jumpscare, safe to say I will be having nightmares. But in all honesty I have completely slipped into the role of loyal widow, I didn't know my husband but I am tending to his shrine and thinking of him all the time I'm lowkey trying to stay away from the others. I ended up crying a few times but that just shows how compelling the storyline and characters are, keep up the amazing work! <333
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We are so glad that you love our game! We did shout out to one of your playthrough in our Discord too!
OMG THANK YOUUUU!!!
This game is amazing. I love the theme and plot, I would love to see more of it and the talent you have to make such plot is amazing! Goodluck with your future works :)

#bringbackmymankazuki
I cannot wait until the game is released omg this is so good
heeey,is the game in spanish?
Just finished it in two days.. (since I only play it at night and I'm busy in the morning and following hours...)
Made me sob, all of them did honestly, not just because of Kazuki's death, but like, each words of affirmation the LIs give, it's so comforting, like what I absolutely need. And it just sucks how I relate to the MC, and at how I just happen to also lose the only good people in my life...
Then it's just a demo with a cliffhanger 😭
I'm glad it's a demo though, I wouldn't be able to bring myself to finish it
Im going with Kazuki's route, I'm i cooked 😭?
This game is pretty good and exceeded my expectations! Thank you so much for creating it!( ＾ω＾ )
this game is so good omfg i cried
LOVE THIS OMGGGG,I WANT haruki SO BAADDD
idk what happen, but yessss give me the dead husband
real
Just finished the game. One thing ı loved so much is the game really gived the feeling of the character we are playing as , ı was feeling suffocated ın a good way while playin it!

HARUKI AND KAUKI MY BELOVEDS, but oh my lorrrrddd this game is EVERYTHING to me, genuinely one of the best visual novels I've ever played, the story, lore, the gameplay and my most favourite the love interests are all so PERFECT, I cannot wait for a full release, thank you guys so much for this masterpiece<3
missing my dead hubby :(
😔
Wishing for a poly ending 💔
real bro i need all of them
So true, I'd feel so guilty if I have to choose one, all of them are so good to us, and my ahh is greedy
I only recently stumbled upon this game, but OMG it is PACKED!
It's dealing with some very heavy topics and have interesting game mechanics.
For now I have mixed feelings, but haven't finished the demo yet, so no judgement until then.
Gonna finish it and be back after the full experience.
OMG OMGGGGGG I LOVE THE UPDATE ALREADY!! But smh the kazuki sprites didn't load (￣ ‘i ￣;) how do i fix it!! BUT THE WHOLE GAME IS SO GOOD THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS GAMEEEE
im back after the release of a new day and I want to say that this game never fails to impress me!!
oh right, almost forgot, there is a bug on day 4, where above it says some images were not found.
Same!!
since the family of the player are Asian in game, does the player have to be Asian too, or could they be adopted?
Why does this matter?
It matters because not everyone who plays is Asian 😭
Whats ur fav game
why?
Because your comment is racist, ever heard of "representation"?
