When Aster Falls

Love me a good supernatural girl. And board games.

Is Rohan wearing trans flag colors just a coincidence?

This is such a cute story! I love how Aster and Rohan negotiate their relationship and how considerate Aster is of her needs. Also the character designs are great!

I looooooved this game!!! My chosen name is literally aster hahahha

I love succubi, so I was so happy with this game. it was very very cute and it was nice getting to know rohan and aster. The character design is also great!!! thank you so much for making this game

Thank you. This story made me so happy, and it made so much...sense to me? I'm ace myself and just. Yes. This was so good.

My chosen name is Aster

I am hypersexual but when I hit burnout the desire is just... gone

My fiancé is Ace

This feels targeted and I must play it 😅

EDIT: I finished the game and found so many more similarities between me and Aster, as well as quite a few between my fiancé and Rohan so.. that was an interesting experience. I adored the ending, and the mutual understanding they both came too!

This was wonderful and adorable and I loved it.

OMG as a confused ace/demi/something mess, this is so, comforting. It's so sweet and honest and real. Thank you for that, thank you for all the work. 

Also I would cuddle Aster until my arms fell off, so the only thing I can only fault you for is...making her too goddamned adorable, curse you!! That and the ending CG which I believe was specifically to make me cry. Job well done. 

this was so good! loving the ace rep & i wish rohan & aster the best 💜

Hi, I am a suuupppper queer ace moron and I'm here to tell you this story was amazing. I like how some important ace topics were brought up, which is nice to see being mentioned in a story. 

Also yay cuddles!

This was really nice. it's a short and sweet visual novel but their relationship still feels pretty organic.

It was great!

I drew Rohan because she’s the best <3

Just finished playing (is this chapter one or a demo?) and I loved it! hope there’s more in the future I love them both <3

This game was delightful! It's so nice to see asexual representation, especially in this kind of game. I enjoyed it a lot, and look forward to all your future projects <3

I couldn't find it in the description, but what ESRB rating would this have? (Everyone, Everyone 10+, Teen 13+, Mature 17+, Adults Only 18+)

I played this game as an extremely thirsty hetero male looking for more media to try and understand asexuality after gradually researching the topic for roughly 4 years because someone very close to me is asexual. I can't say that it really helped me in that regard, but I did enjoy the game.

The characters are cute, and the art is good. I really enjoyed the expressions Rohan and Aster show throughout the course of the narrative- they're adorable and add a lot of character, especially Rohan's "skeptical" face.

If anything, this VN offers a pleasant look into the beginnings of a relationship between the two heroines, and it would be interesting to see how things develop over time for the two of them. More than anything, this feels almost like a taste or a first chapter of something to come.

Thank you for the experience.

I just played this for the first time the other night and I just created an account to say that I love the way the characters were written, as well as the presentation, character design, and music. The subject matter is also really important and I'm glad that this story spoke on asexuality so accessibly, and earnestly.

If this was ever made into a full length VN I'd definitely pay solid money for it!

Good work!

for anyone on the ace spectrum, this visual novel is so DAMN nice because it accurately depicts (at least for me) what desire is like for people on the spectrum, and it's so important for people to know that the tension and feelings are still real. that the romance and love are very much still something to be desired and they do NOT need to be sexual. WELL DONE. 

hi. so... i've been translating this game into russian lately, it's almost ready. thought you deserve to know, as a team of people who made it. i was too shy to ask for a permission at first and i wasn't even sure if i am going to post the translation anywhere or not, but now i'm pretty sure i would love it if, like... it was all done properly. like if this page had 2 tabs — one is the english version of the webpage with the english description and download link, and the other one is for the russian viewers who may want to download it too (i'd link this webpage in my blog, then). this way, you'd get the donations from russians (if they'd send you any XD russians ain't the reachest nation unfortunately). what do you think? do you mind it or not?

(oh btw i'm panro asexual too  helloa kdshjd)

Oh wow. This was cute, heart warming, and remarkably sexy all the same. I really loved this. Great job!

as a female-bodied asexual moron can I just say thank you for the representation i deserve and im love u

So, I downloaded it, but when I try to extract the zip file it just gives the error saying that it cant open it as an archive and won't let me extract it (Edit: I've tried downloading other games from itch.io and it's giving me the same error on every game)

SHE *clap* GOT *clap* THAT *clap* RE-*clap*-PRE-*clap*-SEN-*clap*-TATION THO *authoritative clap*

WOW
just
WOW
This visual novel is incredible

sweet short story.beutiful artstyle.really enjoyed the game,good job!

This is so good! I loved that you really focused on asexuality and aromantic attributes and stayed true to them! There isn't a lot of representation available and I'm glad that I got to play an amazing example of it. Amazing job!

i love the premise for this, and it was executed perfectly! great job to everyone involved :D

Asexual representation (and good asexual representation, at that), finally!!! It's so, so rare for me to find a fictional character like me that isn't mocked or scrutinized. And having an ace protag in a romantic visual novel? Practically unheard of. 

Anyways, this absolutely made my day. The art is beautiful and the writing is perfect! Thank you guys so, so much for helping an insecure panro ace gal feel a little more normal in this world <3

uwu

This game is so cute, respectful and have such good writing/music... I can't help but to adore it! Really need to play it again, and will share it with many of my friends who are LGBTQIA+ <3

I've loved it! The art is stunningly beautiful,  the plot is really good (as someone who's not feeling very comfortable about sex lately, I really relate to Aster with the whole need for a break thing) and it's very well written. Can't wait to play more of your games!

I really enjoyed this game! As an asexual person, I really related to Rohan (: Good job!

Very good artstyle. Espreccially sprites :)

Interesting and original idea for plot. And it's yuri story, yay ♥

well-written characters. they really have totally different personalities. But you know, as they say: opposites attract.

good luck, with your next projects

edit: ending was extra cute.
