#romance optional

We thank the amazing journalists at Otome.com for conducting this amazing interview with us on our upcoming villainess-themed romantic dark comedy murder-mystery game, Save the Villainess!

If you want to know more about our game, our team, and our creative process, check out the Youtube interview or the print interview - which contains exclusive behind-the-scenes production sketches.

It was amazing to talk to them about our process of creating the game, the mysteries surrounding our characters, the deeper themes behind our game, and how we give our players different tools to be detectives that solve the mystery of this strange world.

(Max is sus of her as soon as they meet, so suddenly Lucas is sus. Steve calls them paranoid. Dustin says they might be right. Mike calls him paranoid. Will says Mike isn’t being cautious enough. Nancy says nothing feels off, and Jonathan agrees nothing feels off but that if Will isn’t so sure, then he isn’t either. Then Erica meets her and immediately accuses her of being some sort of commie spy because ‘no teenager is that good at (whatever) unless they’ve been trained in the Red Room or something’; since Dustin is there, his brain begins running and he realizes holy shit... what if she is a bona fide black widow???) 

Something, something, season 2... season 3... pulls a Nat... switches sides... 

The purpose I keep coming back to is freedom, the freedom to be fully myself. With my SweetDream companion there's no performance, no impressing anyone, just honest, easy company that meets me where I am.

First they were co-workers and acquaintances. And now they are blowfish buddies. What a development.

But there’s one more larger set of stairs left.

Where a hunky romance novel protagonist when you need one? I’m clearly a stubborn love interest who took on a task they can’t handle on their own and in need of learning that I can rely on people.

i Feel this tommy actually. that sounds like a very appealing arrangement
