silly me

A tale of rituals, death, and obsession in the New England pines…

You met Arthur Corey in the woods, seeking a respite from a fractious home; two isolated children unprotected from the harshness of life. After one miraculous day of joy together circumstances rip you apart, and the happiness of both of your futures depends on one choice made by a damaged child. You can be sure that regardless of how far you've moved on, Arthur has never forgotten you.

When an unexpected death pulls you back to the point of your childhood connection, what man will be waiting for you there: the one that's made you into his symbol of the perfect future, or the one that's clung to life only for revenge?

INFO:

Forget-Me-Nightshade is an upcoming 18+ yandere-sim visual novel that follows the main character's relationship with Arthur Corey, the heir to a history steeped in the occult, and last descendant to a line of powerful witchcraft.

After meeting as children, Arthur becomes powerfully obsessed with you, the first and only person to show him affection and sympathy in his isolated, unhappy upbringing. Whether that obsession is able to bloom into something like true love, or rot into darkness and hate, is entirely up to the player. But the player themselves will have their own painful demons to fight and even darker figures from their past than Arthur, who simply refuse to stay gone.

FMN will offer a unique playing experience in that there will be two routes the player can experience, based on their preferences. One that will suit players seeking a more traditional yandere-romance experience, and one for fans of the classic murder simulator.

It is possible to die, escape, or pair up romantically in both routes, so you won't miss out regardless of which flavor you prefer. Do you want to save Arthur from himself, confronting your own trauma in the process, and move forward together into a new beginning? Do you want to sink into your own bitter hurt, and follow him down the path of rituals and corrupted power? Both are more than encouraged.

The demo is currently in production and will feature a shared prologue for both routes as well as the first day or each route, so that you can sample both and see which is to your taste!
