Sweet Valentine Chocolatier (PROTOTYPE)

🛠 !!This visual novel is under very active development!! 🛠

We've submitted a prototype for Women's Game Fest,
But we plan to submit 2 routes + major cleanup for
Blossom Jam, and 2 more routes for
Otome / Josei Jam.

This is the very first build.
It is EXTREMELY unpolished. 😱
We recommend waiting until 5/11 to play!!!
(You have been warned... 🥲 and sorry!)

Play in Browser or on Mobile Device: "Run Game" Despite warning, game should still run fine on most devices.

Download will not be available until 5/11/25 (11 days from now!) since the rest of the build is not ready for release just yet. (The mini games are programmed and everything...! Just need one more weekend to write, polish, and make sure everyone changes expressions. LOL)

Thanks for your patience!!

This game has been in development for less than 2 months, and is still being (very) actively worked on! It was made by people with full-time jobs and other commitments. As such, there may be many bugs still undiscovered in testing. 🙇‍♀️ Please leave a comment if you run into any bugs or issues and we'll do our best to address ASAP!

If you enjoyed the prototype, please let us know by leaving a comment! ❤️

We should have a lot more for you to enjoy on 5/11/25 !
