hearts in my eyes

House of Petals by Little Snake Studio is currently on Kickstarter!

"You awaken in the serene yet unfamiliar Lotus Pavilion, with no memory of who you are or how you got there. Beside you is Han, a gentle, soft-spoken artist who claims to be your husband. He insists you simply suffered a fall and lost your memory. Everything he does seems devoted to your comfort… but the more you explore your surroundings, the more unsettling things become. Is Han truly who he says he is? And more importantly: Who are you? 4 days is all you have to survive and find out the truth."

"House of Petals is a dark, romantic visual novel with point-and-click investigation full of mystery, secrets, and a very dangerous man who swears you’re his beloved. It's set in a historical period inspired by East Asian culture with hauntingly beautiful visuals.

The game is perfect for lovers of dark romance, mystery and yandere tropes with morally grey and complex love interests."
