Rituals in the Dark

 
Cage of Roses has been released!Feb 16, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsHello everyone! I'm writing a quick announcement to let you know that my newest VN, Cage of Roses, has finally been released! https://clan.fastly.steamstatic.com/images/33024327/341617e79554b0ba094ae0721a5f69a1dae11db3.png I say 'finally' because I wrote the script for this VN all the way back in early 2021. It took about 4 years for me to get this project pieced together, but I'm very glad that I stuck with it until the bitter end! I think the art by Rock CR and the music by Sarah Mancuso is especially lovely, and it really adds to the overall atmosphere of the story. They really went all-in on the pretty visuals and the ominous, eerie music, and I think it all comes together really nicely! It's been a dream of mine to write a spooky vampire story for over a decade, and I'm very happy I was finally able to do that. I hope I did the idea justice! https://clan.fastly.steamstatic.com/images/33024327/e1337ddc7798b6b2474b10fa665becf331e0c2dd.png You can check out the VN here if you're interested: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2993720 Please let me know if you run into any bugs or typos, and I'll do my best to fix them within a reasonable timeframe. Thank you, as always, for your support over the years. It's very much appreciated, and I hope you'll all enjoy my newest yuri story! - ebi xAnnouncing a few new yuri VNsJan 10, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsHi everyone! \o/ I'm just making a quick announcement to let you know I'm working on a couple of shiny new yuri VNs (when am I ever not working on yuri VNs tbh haha...) https://clan.fastly.steamstatic.com/images/33024327/9a51e465b0860b14817b915b9055718aada6b25d.png The first on the list is Her Love, Like Poison! It's a dour little VN set in the English countryside during the winter, so it'll be very bleak and cold and miserable! It's a story about a university student, Ethel, who's struggling to muster up the enthusiasm to work on her thesis while girlrotting in her parents' home in a teeny-tiny village. Stuck for inspiration, she goes for a wander in the woods late at night, and has an encounter with a mysterious girl who might be more than she seems. This is a spooky VN with some sexual themes and body horror elements. It goes some rather dark places, but I don't think it's too unpleasantly awful. The character art was also done by the artist of It gets so lonely here! You can wishlist it here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3412620 https://clan.fastly.steamstatic.com/images/33024327/21c7a110772231d437f9e96fbd777c3035db5f1d.png And the second on the list is Bittersweet Blossoms. It's a historical yuri VN that takes place in England in 1919, a little after WWI. Follow Dot, a young girl who lost both her father and her older brother in the war, as she starts working in the stately home of Bly as a maid. At Bly, Dot meets her sadistic young mistress, Patience, and the two begin an uneasy relationship. This VN is a sequel of sorts to Blackberry Honey, though it takes place about 60 years after the events of BH. It might be an interesting read if you want to see what became of Bly over the years! You can wishlist it here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3429340/Bittersweet_Blossoms/ And that's about eveything. Please look forward to these VNs; I'll try to release them both later this year! - ebi xSpanish (Latin American) translation added!Nov 25, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsHello everyone! I'm writing this quick update to let you know that Rituals in the Dark has been translated into Latin American Spanish, thanks to the efforts of Hector Esquivel. I'm pleased that this Rituals is now available in even more languages, so more people will be able to enjoy it! As always, please let me know if you find any bugs or spelling errors/typos in the new update, and I will try to fix them all in a timely manner. Thank you for your continued support over the years; it's very much appreciated! - ebiSmall updateMay 26, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsHi everyone! Just writing a quick update to let you know that I've fixed a handful of typos which were pointed out in the story, both by people on the Steam community hub and a kind person on my Discord server. Rituals in the Dark should read a little more nicely now! As always, if you find any other issues in this VN (including further typos or any technical issues), do point them out, and I will try to fix them within a reasonable time frame! Thank you very much for your continued support; it's very much appreciated! - ebi xClear Skye Thinking has been released!May 14, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsHi everyone! I'm writing a quick post to let you know that my cute yuri VN, Clear Skye Thinking, has been released! https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images/33024327/013daa826c12b65f11f7d1fc415d1c41202fe8de.png It's a wholesome slice of life story set on the Scottish Isle of Skye, which follows a lolita protagonist called Alice as she meets and falls in love with the cheerful tomboy Piper. You can check it out here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2939470 The story takes place in Skye and shows off various tourist locations on the island (such as Dunscaith Castle and Neist Point lighthouse), while also developing the relationship between Alice and Piper. It's a sweet, fairly short story which can probably be completed in around 3 hours by a fast reader. There's no mature content, and it's all quite light and fluffy. Tonally, I think it's rather similar to All the Words She Wrote or The Fairy's Song, if you want a reference point. I hope you enjoy it if you do choose to check it out! ❤️Cute yuri VN Clear Skye Thinking available to wishlist \o/Apr 27, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsHello everyone! \o/ I’m writing a quick announcement to let you know that the Steam store page for my upcoming slice of life yuri VN, Clear Skye Thinking, is now up! https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images/33024327/c64872ffebb7dc091ca77ca751bf9c0ab7a0f923.png Clear Skye Thinking is a cute all ages story about a young girl, Alice, who goes on holiday to the Scottish Isle of Skye with her father during the summer holidays. While in Skye Alice meets the cheerful tomboy Piper, and they both go around the island examining the various tourist spots, from the ruins of Dunscaith Castle to the lush gardens at Armdale. It’s a sweet, slow-paced story about exploration and adventure, and (with some luck) I’ll be able to release it within the next couple of months. You can wishlist it here if that sounds like your sort of thing: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2939470/Clear_Skye_Thinking/ - ebi xTrading cards addedMar 15, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsHi everybody! I'm just writing a quick update to let you know that trading cards have (finally) been added to Rituals in the Dark! The game has been approved for trading cards for a while now, but it took me some time to actually add them haha ;; Nevertheless, I'm glad they're in the game now! I hope you enjoy collecting the cards and the various points shop items! - ebi xFragile Feelings released on SteamOct 12, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHello everybody! \o/ I'm writing a post to let you know that I've released a shiny new yuri VN on Steam, Fragile Feelings! https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/33024327/a40cc7d58aa58e0ea60faba7ae19446517bb4650.png Fragile Feelings is a romance story about a shy young teacher and a gothic school nurse. It’s set in an isolated all-girls’ boarding school in the Japanese countryside and it has a relaxing, soothing atmosphere. The story does contain some serious moments, but it's generally positive in tone. Out of all of my previously released yuri VNs, it's probably the most similar to Blackberry Honey, even if the setting is pretty different. Ann and Kohaku have more than a few things in common with Lorina and Taohua, haha ;; https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/33024327/1055509ae59f22bab243044589036b2f4a7ce550.png If you want to read something sweet and sapphic, please consider checking it out! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2025700 Thank you for all of your support over the years! It's appreciated! - ebi xYuri VN The Fairy's Secret released on SteamFeb 6, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHi everyone! \o/ I’m writing this announcement to let you know that I've recently released a sequel to my cute yuri VN The Fairy’s Song called The Fairy’s Secret! The Fairy’s Secret is a linear visual novel set in modern day England which centres around the relationship between a grumpy goth and her medieval knight girlfriend. The story is of a similar length to the original Fairy’s Song and it has a similar tone. It’s quite a light-hearted story, for the most part, though there are some fantasy elements and a few moments of intrigue and mystery. The VN is available in both English and Simplified Chinese, and a German translation might happen in the future if the sales are strong enough to support it. https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33024327/2d2be389c8805ea7eae85f289589a7ba49a68bfe.png If you enjoyed The Fairy’s Song and wanted to read more about Marnie’s adventures, then you should enjoy The Fairy’s Secret! You can buy it on Steam here, if you’re interested: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1994760/The_Fairys_Secret And I’ve also put The Fairy’s Song on sale on Steam to celebrate the occasion, along with a few of my other cute yuri VNs. You can check out my bundle of yuri VNs here: https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/26031/EbiHime_Yuri_Bundle/ Alternatively,, you can buy The Fairy’s Song and The Fairy’s Secret bundled together for an even deeper discount than you’d get buying them individually here: https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/30485/The_Fairys_Bundle/ I hope you’ll enjoy reading more about Marnie’s time in Fenchapel with her cute knight girlfriend! - ebi xYuri VN Dreamy Planet released on SteamSep 16, 2022 - Community AnnouncementsHi, everyone! I'm writing a post to let you know that my newest yuri VN, Dreamy Planet, has been released on Steam! https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33024327/1ba1a165e3cf69ff835d6d7765b82766941edf6f.png Dreamy Planet follows a troubled young woman called Haruka, who feels trapped in a loveless relationship with a man her parents introduced to her. Haruka is determined to make this relationship work for her parents’ sake, who are desperate for grandchildren, even if it kills her. Secretly, however, Haruka harbours feelings towards her childhood friend, Shiina, whom she hasn’t seen in several years. Eventually, Shiina gets back into contact with Haruka, and suggests that the pair catch up at one of their favourite childhood haunts: the theme park Dreamy Planet, which has since closed down and fallen into ruin. Will Shiina and Haruka’s relationship meet a similar fate, or will old feelings between them be rekindled? Dreamy Planet is quite sombre in tone, but it's not all doom and gloom. It presents the possibility of a happy ending, and the leads are afforded a degree of hope. https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33024327/2e9370bfde11f1da59c5b530987673faa9efd75f.png It's a quiet, ambient sort of experience, which some people might find relaxing.
