The updated demo for Because We’re Here ~Mohnblume und Blauerose~ is out! If you‘ve not played it, it’s an otome game set in a fictionalised World War One. It’s rather lighthearted in places, and crushingly dark in others! Here’s some notes on this iteration of the demo:



It consists of the entire Chapter 1 - that’s 50,000 words, or roughly 2-3 hours of playtime.

There’s new CG and background art, as well as GUI and menus. And a proper screen resolution! Essentially, it looks much more professional now. Some of the musical tracks have been replaced, too.



I’ve fixed up a lot of the dialogue, and fleshed out some of the ending scenes (most prominently Otto and Horst, who don’t get as much screentime as the rest in Ch1).

The first demo got feedback like ‘fantastic and completely broke my heart’, ‘an amazing accomplishment for just a demo to create such an emotional investment in the story and the characters’ and ‘THIS WAS AMAZING AND IM STILL SCREAMING AAAHHHH’. If it sounds like the kind of thing you’d enjoy, give it a go! The full game’s scheduled for release in February 2017, and any word of mouth is very much appreciated~
