Truck-kun strikes yet again…!

-An office lady is reincarnated as Teresa von Ambrose, originally a spriteless extra character in the obscure otome game “Eternal Blessing of the Stars”,  where most of the endings end up with Asmodia Kingdom in shambles one way or another...

Teresa:  "That's me. I'm part of that shitty kingdom!!!"

Armed with knowledge of the game's future, Teresa decides to intervene and erase the event that triggered the beginning of the original story.

-But actions have consequences, and instead of the protagonist, Teresa finds herself drawing the attention of the villainous underground organization, Snare.

*Note: This game contains blood, violence, and character death. Also expect scenarios you would normally see in other isekai stories.

  • 55,000 words (extended early beta access version)

-Optional dyslexic font

-Partial Voice Acting

...More to discover!

oh I adore this bad- I never spend money on games usually, but this is one I am willing to because oh my god its so goodddddddd!!!! the team has done an amazing job, im shocked I wen from hating Vicenzo to absolutely adoring him haha, amazing work, I only noticed like one grammatical error but other than that it was perfect <3 (although personally I'd like more options for punching people, Teressa is way better at keeping her cool than me-)

(+1)

I want to pursue Edel AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

i adored playing through this - it's a wonderful love letter to isekai/transmigration stories! looking forward to seeing more!

(i did notice some grammatical errors here and there, but nothing that took away from my enjoyment; if you ever decide to look for an editor, i volunteer as tribute <3)

(+1)

I mean, you're free to post errors here if you'd like! Someone posted mistakes in the comments below too. 

Or I might make an anonymous feedback box for the next devlog update as well🤔

(+1)

-Whose route would you choose first? And why?
tbh i was aiming for EDEL at the beginning bcs i like dark haired mls and he seems like someone u can do enemies-to-lovers trope with... but as the story goes he starts to get more yandere?? and overprotective?? of vicenzo, and i was having DOUBTS like is he rly the love interest??? so idk maybe in the full version i might choose vicenzo?? but i still wanna go w/ edel so ig edel it is (hopefully i can fix him)

-What's your favorite scene/event?
when edel took off his mask + when estella was being DENSEEE with a tired henry

-Are you interested in playing the full release? (The full game will be PAID)
I AM!!!!!! for a 150k+ otome game???? with this beautiful art and interesting story?????? worth it

-Are the LIs villainous enough for you?

edel is definitely villainous.. vicenzo? not sm, hes too soft (but ig we'll see more of his villainous side in the full release?)

(1 edit)

Thank you so very much for the demo! I can't wait for the full release :3

-Whose route would you choose first? And why?

Vicenzo, no questions asked. He hits all my trope boxes and sells the two-faced prince persona so DAMN well. Best thing is I can kinda see, the start or semblance of some feelings from his side?? Or maybe I am delusional... Either way, I like him a lot.

-What's your favorite scene/event?

The dance with Vicenzo felt very memorable and I could feel the sparks flying. When I think about it... basically every scene with Vicenzo? I am definitely biased.

-Are you interested in playing the full release? (The full game will be PAID)

Yes, I am actually on my way to get extended beta :D

-Are the LIs villainous enough for you?

I admit that Edel is not quite doing it for me, he is like unhinged psycho while Vicenzo is the flair I like. Calculating bastard if you will.

The demo is amazing, I really enjoyed it.I got both the ending without dying and dying, I really loved the art it's so pretty and the voice acting is also amazing and I really loved the writing as well, the LIs were also very interesting.

Questions

-Whose route would you choose first? And why?

I'm not sure because I can't decide who I liked more between Vicenzo and Edel.

-What's your favorite scene/event?

I like the scene where Edel took off his mask and when we talk about the marriage agreement with Vicenzo

-Are you interested in playing the full release?
(The full game will be PAID)

I think I would be very interested in buying the full game once it's out if I had money since it is not out of my price range!! I am also interested in maybe buying the early bird discount so I might just do it :D

-Are the LIs villainous enough for you?

They are definitely villainous from description but Vincenzo haven't shown much of his evil side, Edel def did though!

Just finished the demo, and I love it! I'll try to somehow buy the full game when it releases.

I enjoyed playing it, I haven't tried other options yet nor died (I saw a comment mentioning it). Or tried going for Edel's route in the demo. I'm excited for it, Vincenzo looked like I wouldn't like him except for his white hair, but his cocky and sometimes gentle charms (even if he's faking it or not, idk) made me love him.

(+1)

The demo is awesome, i'll try saving to buy the full release.

This game is gorgeous! The visuals, the soundtrack, everything is so well crafted; it really shows how much passion has been put into this. 

I was wondering if you were interested in a free Spanish translation for the game. I am a final-year student of English-Spanish translation, and I'm currently looking for a project to get my degree. If you are interested, I would be very excited to work with you.

Keep up the amazing work; your game is awesome!

If you are interested, please contact me at:

I played the demo and enjoyed it. Managed to make it to the end the first time without dying by being a continuous dick to both Edel and Vicenzo.

 I do not know if this is intentional, but when I  went back through to choose nicer or more receptive options I was always killed by Edel and it wasn't really clear why? What decisions trigger him going sicko mode?

It's not a matter of being nice or mean to them, rather, it's more like this: https://itch.io/post/8021977

for me its either when you snitch on him or not

(+2)

-Whose route would you choose first? And why?


I wonder if there will be a route where we could kill both of the love interests lol. I would try to go for that route first, not that I hate the LI's, but they both frustrated me sometimes during the game, Edel for killing me so many times and Vicenzo for being too cocky, but I guess that's a part of their charm lol

(+1)

Hi! I recently purchased the Special Dialogue option but it seems the form is no longer open? Is that the case? Just wanted to be sure I hadn't made a mistake. Thank you very much for your help!

Do you mean that the link in the .txt file isn't working, or do you mean that you can't download the  .txt file that has the link? 

Thank you for your quick response! I can download the file, and the link does open a form, but I can't fill it out. It shows the message: "The form Contact information is no longer accepting responses."

Thanks for informing me! Looks like my drive prevented any form of editing cause it was almost full😅

Try again if it works now.

(+1)

It's working now, thank you so much for your help!! ^^

For context, I have only played 1 run-through of the game, aiming for Vicenzo's route. 


There are 2 questions I'd like to answer for feedback!

Whose route would you choose first? And why?

I liked Vicenzo's overall character design and personality over Edel's. Vicenzo's design sold the whole "2-faced" prince vibe and I loved it. His white hair and fox-like expression make him feel innocent yet deceiving and playful.

I think Edel's character just wasn't for me. He felt like a dilf (lol I'm sorry I like pretty boys) with an unaesthetic look to his messiness. 


What's your favorite scene/event?

My favorite scenes would have to be when the mc came to eat food with Vicenzo and Edel, and the final scene with the creepy text!

I loved the first scene because I thought it nicely explored each of the characters. Such as the mc's love for food, Vicenzo's obsession for spicy cupcakes, and Edel's undying loyalty to please and obey his master. It was funny how you could force Edel to eat a spicy cupcake (lmao). Honestly, I feel like it was much deserved because he threatened us. Plus, it was cute and funny to see him react the way Edel did (testing the bounds of his bond with Vicenzo LOL).

And for the final scene, I liked it because it was the first time we (as the reader and not the mc) felt just how cruel the game can be, which is fun! Playing a romance game and then suddenly remembering how scary these situations actually are, makes it all more immersive and engaging. 

Sorry for the long feedback but I hope this helps! I had fun playing the game and look forward to seeing more!

bro the "STAY PUT" felt like she was hoping a dog she was training would remember the training lol!

(+2)

TERESA IS SO REAL, like its always the 'interesting' 'amusing' and sometimes it 'your not like other girls' so frickin annoying T-T. She's so relatable, why are main characters so dense.

(1 edit) (+1)

answers to the descriptions questions: 

I was drawn to this game for Count Vicenzo , two faced fox troupe x soft for mc troupe/would kill for mc possibly? is *chefs kiss* and honestly stayed for MC and Count Vicenzo them being together is such a delight, I love every scene that Vicenzo is in and also where he punishes that trollish butler for her, may Edel lick dirt off of the tiles mc walks on

yeah when it comes out my wallet will shed paper tears for your game 100%

in my opinion yes but also the sadist in me wants to see Vicenzo get a bit crazier when protecting her from trollish butlers >:) side note: I love his eyes

(+1)

I have been playing the demo non-stop for about an hour now. I don't think I've laughed like that in CENTURIES. I love the main character, and the plot is super interesting, the little chibi drawings to show her inner emotions are the best 10/10.

(+1)

yass! a new update!

oooooooo new demo update!!!!

so excited to play >-<

(+1)

There's no new story content (that's only available for early beta access), but there are a few minor visual updates 👍

ooo oki doki thx for making that clear lmao (im still playing it again >:3)

Tell me if everything works! :>

Everything seems to be working just fine! I played the browser version and the images no longer look pixilated at the beginning either!

(+3)

Just like Penelope and her ducks, Amazingggg

-Whose route would you choose first? And why?

Edel, cause contrary to real life it seems I want to be murdered in games.

-What's your favorite scene/event?

The moment Edel villainously laughs at us after the interview haha

-Are you interested in playing the full release? (The full game will be PAID)

I think it'd be totally worth it, and I would if I could.

-Are the LIs villainous enough for you?

Yes.

olá,sou brasileira e não sei inglês e queria saber se vai ter alguma tradução para português?

(se eu puder comprar quando sair completo eu vou)

ITS SO GOOD! Especially the humor. It kept me cackling until I reached the end

Helloo I wanna ask what programs you use for making games? Love the art btw, the demo was really fun I really wanna buy the game but I dont have the money rn (I do plan on buying it in the future :3)

Renpy!
And dw, there's plenty of time. And I mean, PLENTY cause I've been slow😂

(1 edit)

DEMO was really nice! I loved the effort put into the sprites, animations and sfx even though i assume it was tedious putting those in. The art is quite unique with the watercolor style and i just really like the subtle details... C'mon the cute blue loading screen rose? Ackk

On another note, i was seriously stressed for my girl. My choices got her killed in the end, but! I'm most looking forward to the world building and relationship progression between characters because they seem to have a lot of depth. How much do you suppose the final game would cost? ^^

I hope you got the demo ending by the end though!

For the price, it's mentioned in the FAQs.

Hello, sorry to bother, I would like to know how you make sure your character assets are not in the download folder, I'm going crazy so I can protect my assets, thank you

(+1)

If you're using Renpy, make sure to archive them (search that up) by checking options.rpy.

THANK YOU SO MUCH I LOVE YOU! <3

So i am going to buy the early bird sometime this week, but how long will it be available for? Also when the next update happens will there be more story to the early bird discount?

I'll be closing it once full release is near or when it runs out, whichever one comes first. Either way, I'll be making an announcement for that.

Any early access update is only for the  $30 and up tier. Early bird discount will be getting theirs on full release, alongside everyone.

Nice. Well ill be patient lol

(+1)

This was amazing!!! The art, voice acting, story, facial expressions, soundtrack, and dialogue were incredible. Everything is so polished. Thank you for this masterpiece. I've played other visual novels, but this was my first actual Otome! I'm definitely looking forward to future updates and plan to buy the full game. :)

(+1)

I love this game so much, AND THE ART OMGGG I LOVE UR ART AND THE GAME PLUS ITS A GOOD STORY THIS GAME IS UNDERATED BUT NEEDS TO SEEN

(+2)

Aww thanks!❤️

Rating the game *cough*5stars*cough* might help it be seen 😉

LOVING SO MUCH 

-Whose route would you choose first? And why?

IDK HAHAHAAH can I answer both?

-What's your favorite scene/event?

The first time I saw Adel face, made my jaw drop 

-Are you interested in playing the full release?

(The full game will be PAID)

sure why not

-Are the LIs villainous enough for you?

welp, I think can you make Lis more villain because in some scenes I still see the humanity in Lis 

I really loved this game, but omfg it was so hard to not die 😭😭 (but even if Edel kills me, I loved his character, and I'm just so anxious for when the game updates)

One more thing! I played on my phone so Android service, and it went really well tbh, didn't it crash or anything just appeared sometimes messages saying that it was disabled and I guess it was because it was a demo, so everything it's good!

Thanks for testing the Android build!

And yes, some options are still unavailable OvOb

questions !!

-Whose route would you choose first? And why?

i think i'll go with edel first because i really liked the masked guy, but vicenzo is out there tryna get me aswell

-What's your favorite scene/event?

the engagement talk with mc's family kekekeke

-Are you interested in playing the full release? (The full game will be PAID)

yes the game really stole my heart

-Are the LIs villainous enough for you?

they are (i got scared lol but it's good

(1 edit)

i was looking for a game that could maybe take away my boredom AND BOY was i hooked!!!! havent had that amount of fun in a while!!

i absolutely loved the game and all the characters! mc's has a nice personality and so does her friends and twin, but the two villains were really top notch! they both are so scary and mysterious, but are also very funny and mischievous, which was really enjoyable to see as love interests! 

now i'm sad that the demo is over because i was planning on staying up til morning playing it T-T can't wait for the full game to be out!! keep up the good work <333

este juego es asombroso podria decir mas palabras pero al final volveria a lo mismo, me encanta vicenzo, sin duda pagare por el juego si no tiene un precio demasiado caro, mi moneda no es el dolar asi que a mi conversion me saldra mas caro pero aun asi amo este juego

So it wont let me buy this game with my card? Help please i want Vinny😭

If it really doesn't work, I also have it available (limited slots) on my Ko-Fi!

*Note: The game is still under development, and there's still a possibility of the release date getting pushed back.

when i go to pay using my card it doesn't show up. I really want to play this game more lol. Is there more content then what the demo has right now when i buy it?

That's likely an issue on Itchio's part, so I couldn't really help with that😅

Only for the early beta access tier. Currently, there's a short extra scenario from where the public demo ends, but they should be getting an updated build TBA.

(1 edit)

I want to say thank you for being a dev who actually engages with your fans lol as cheesy as that may sound i really do appreciate it🩵😝 I have seen other devs who will get comments on their games and never respond then ultimately dropping their game because they don't listen to or even take time to engage in their community so i just wanted to say thank you 😉 🩵 Now back to the game i will buy it on the website soon and also i do have one more question. I actually downloaded it on the Android version (runs smooth by the way no crashes, freezes, or anything) so my question(s) is when i buy the game soon will i be able to play it on the android still? Will my progress save? (I have zero 0% problems playing it over again as Vinny will be mines or me his😅🩵 lol) Thanks again🩵😝

Oh, thanks for testing the mobile version!

With the current (unreleased) build I'm working on right now, it should -theoretically- be able to load the old save file, however, I've made some changes that may break the game's UI if you use an old save file, so I wouldn't recommend that. Additionally, if you're sticking with the Android build, I've previously addressed that the mobile version won't be receiving any update until after I complete the game, as stated here, as I will have to customize the UI for a more comfortable mobile experience (which, again, can only be done after finishing the complete build).

(Dw, it's not cheesy!😄)

The art of this game was so damn pretty! I love the texture of it and the sort of watercolor vibe it has!

Really loved this game! The MC was so funny, laughed out loud multiple times.


-Whose route would you choose first? And why?

I always like to go with the route that I organically end up on first, so I started with Vicenzo. 

-What's your favorite scene/event?

Love the muffin scene! I also really the scene were Edel started laughing.

-Are you interested in playing the full release? (The full game will be PAID)

Yes!!

-Are the LIs villainous enough for you?

Yes... but I also like that they aren't too villainous though.

(2 edits)

So i cant denie that i love this story so far. I might buy the full game but want to know how much? The pricing i see above is confusing lol. As for the questions:

-Whose route would you choose first? And why?

I wasnt aware there were other routes since i figued the mask man in beginning was not the boss. Might replay later to see.

-What's your favorite scene/event?

I can't answer this because i found acouple parts deemed too good. But the part that gave me the spooky a bit was when we said how tge stone was stolen and how Vinny (yes my nickname for the cutie) said how they should have their tongue cut off😭😝

-Are you interested in playing the full release?

(The full game will be PAID)

Depends on the pricing. I really enjoyed this game and really do want more but i won't pay and over exaggerating price. No offense to the creator of the game but that's not something im comfortable with doing as other games i buy are usually either discount price, my brothers money, or just at a certain price range but i won't say more as im already sounding very petty🤣

-Are the LIs villainous enough for you?

I love this damn game ok can't lie. As a girl who can also keep a deadpan face, her emotions inside and out are somewhat relatable. As for Vinny (again yes that's his name now from me😏) my i can't wait to see how this story goes with him. Maybe a ending with him wouldn't be so bad. Edel STOP TRYING to kill me😭😤

-Other comments are welcome!

Mobile version works nice and same goes for the window version. My only thing would be if you can add a ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO OVERWRITE THIS SAVE FILE because i accidentally saved over a part i wanted to go back to. While i was able to go back to choice with the backward and rechoose my choice, its still something that would help people like me lol


This game is very good. I wish not to spoil much so if you are debating whether or not to download, I say the demo is enough of a reason. Try it out and you won't be disappointed. I'm not😏

For the pricing, the regular price will be $9.69, but I'm running a donation promo with reward perks, one of which is 'pre-ordering' the game for $6.69 (early bird discount). Donations will go into funding the game development (since I won't be running a Kickstarter).

Details should be in FAQs!

(+1)

So if i just want to buy the game i only pay 10? That's actually better then. Is that something i can buy right now or no? You have now won me over and now Vinny (yes still calling him that will be mine or me his i do not care😏)  Is there more of story avaliable right now if i am to buy? Also is will my progress save or will i have to restart? I wouldnt mind restarting if that is case im addicted😝

(+1)

my apologies as i have just read the FAQs lol as of after giving a response back lol. Also really random but my brother does some Voice acting on the side. If you would want more in game i can see if he would be interested lol

loved the game and forgot it was only the demo which got me sad, i wont be able to afford the full game if it is released but good luck with it lol

-Whose route would you choose first? And why?

honestly i likd both Edel and Vicenzo, but i'd def choose Vicenzo 

-What's your favorite scene/event?

every scene that contained Vicenzo lol

-Are you interested in playing the full release? (The full game will be PAID)

i wouldnt be able to afford it so no :(

-Are the LIs villainous enough for you?

Edel, yes. but Vicenzo didn't exactly show his villainous side, which i was excited for!!

(+1)

Such a good game! I was so sad that it was only the demo. I love it so far and will be waiting for the completed version.


Questions!

-[Whose route would you choose first? And why?]-

That's tricky. At first, I preferred the appearance of Edel, but as the story went on, I quickly put together who the boss was and enjoyed their personality a lot more. I think it would be interesting if there were another love interest, the prince for example, and if they somehow played a part in the Snare.


-[What's your favorite scene/event?]-

I enjoyed the beginning scene, as I had never played an otome before and was happy to get the definition.


-[Are you interested in playing the full release?]-

I would love to buy the game! I sadly am only able to play on a browser so if you can make it compatible with Chromebooks or playable on a browser, I would be forever in your debt. 


-[Are the Love Interests villainous enough for you?]-

Oh my god. Yes. I love them, although I wish there was more of a villainous side for Vincenzo. Maybe there is and we just haven't seen it yet. 


-[Other comments are welcome!]-

Well, I have a few things.

First, I knew someone named Vincenzo and I wanted to check if the pronunciation is Vin-Chen-zoe

Second, is there a playable version of Eternal Blessing of the Stars?

Other than that I loved this and can not wait for the full version!

Have you tried the downloadable version on your Chromebook? It should be playable with that.

I've been pronouncing it Vi-chen-zoh🤔

Nope, Eternal Blessing of the Stars is just a fictional game.

Also glad to see an otome first-timer(?) trying this out!☺️

Sad about the game being fictional but I will try downloading it.

Ahh! It's so good, *after looking who the author is* No wonder I liked it so much! It's the same person who did Trapped with Jester.
Okay, but anything else aside, thank You for a great story, can't wait to see more :)

can someone tell me how many love interests were in the in-game otome she reincarnated into? 

i know there's the prince, eric, and henry, but who's the last one?
