Active Kickstarters
Speakeasy (18+) Funded: An otome set in a 1920’s jazz club. They’re in the last few days of the campaign; working towards a stretch goal for MC skin tone customization.

Of Sense and Soul (BL)
A slow burn BL set in 1870’s Victorian London. Features reserved journalist Hugo, and outgoing gentleman (as in landed gentry) Seamus. Includes a letter writing mechanic. They are currently on track to fall narrowly short short of funding.

VERBENA: A Romance Visual Novel
A paranormal visual novel set in 80’s small town Vermont. The devs canceled the original kickstarter 1/3 of the way through and relaunched it. The updated campaign is better, but I’m a little bit concerned because this is their first project and they haven't responded to a question I sent them.
