I know I've been a bit, well, dead on here, but it's for good reason! As you might have seen, I've been working on an entry for YanJam 2026, and the demo is finally out!

The Game

Introducing Rabbits Burn Softly, a visual novel that mixes romance with thriller, comfort with control, and reality with fiction in a grand ball of yandereslop and my genuine passion for the themes and characters involved!!

Play as a college student determined to fly under the radar, spending all of their time and hard-earned money on their comfort animated show and taking care of their childhood plushie. And whose plans are very quickly thrown into the dryer and burned as they gain the attentions and affections of certain individuals... one of which being said plushie come to life!

As it stands now, the demo currently has...

Over 20,000 words (So far!!!)

Choices that continue to matter

Animated sprites and CGs

Custom music tracks

Narrative minigames

2 male romance options with questionable sanity

Aries (renamable) and his traveling companion spend another year stuck in a busy port town during yet another Celestial Celebration. While Aries isn't a fan of the festival itself, it provides an opportunity to join a sailing crew and at last continue his quest to learn more about the Celestial beings and the truth behind why he was born with a Celestial mark. Things take a turn, however, when Aries meets a woman who is as desperate to leave the city as he is but remains as trapped and stuck as he feels.  Will Aries be able to help this woman return home by the festival's end while also securing passage for his companion and himself? Or will he be continually stuck, forced to perpetually dwell on his tragic past?

Hey Everyone

Algorithms have been burying a lot of updates lately, so we’re introducing #AmareGamesBulletin ✨

If you’re posting an Amare game or related genre's update/release or announcement, tag your post with this hashtag so we can easily find it and include it in the Bulletin

Where do I use it? It doesn’t have to be in the main post! You can simply add #AmareGamesBulletin in a comment, so you don’t have to sacrifice characters or formatting.

Why a hashtag? Devs already do a ton of work just to make announcements. Adding extra steps—like submission forms—only adds to that load. This hashtag is meant to reduce work, not create more.

Am I guaranteed to be included? Not automatically. We still reserve the right to decide what’s featured. In particular, we do not promote games that use any form of Generative AI, games with too little information to understand their content, or other disqualifiers
