Our Home, My Keeper

it's a really sweet story that takes its pacing very well. trying so desperately to get my polycule to read it

A fantasy romance story. The art is really beautiful. The story didn't click with me as much as some of the other Studio Élan VNs.

Cute, short, Yuri. 9/10 because it could have been much much gayer thx

Lovely read ! Thank you for creating this game !

Charmingly quaint (and British) writing as ever from Ebi-Hime. This time the production values reach lavish levels since it’s a Studio Elan production. The UI flourishes were particularly nice. There’s a nice realism to the protagonist and her thoughts, with the way she’ll second guess herself or how her musings circle back to her job as a writer. Might be a bit of confirmation bias though since I expect writers to know a writers mind best. Makes one wonder how much of themselves they put in the character. She pairs well with the adorable “max affection from the get go” brownie heroine. My main issue is that it feels a bit too short. The plot itself is fine but it feels like it needs one or two more scenes of slice of life downtime in between each plot development to let the relationship breathe a bit more. When there’s narration like “and then a few weeks passed”, it doesn’t really feel like it. Still, overall a sweet story with just the right amount of seriousness/darkness to add a little spice and a pleasant read throughout.

Our Home, My Keeper is a wonderful collaboration between Studio Elan and Ebi-hime, which are both known for making wonderful indie visual novels. OHMK is a Yuri kinetic visual novel.

Since there are no choices, there is only one ending and the game is easy to get all the Steam achievements if you care about that (which I do :D). OHMK opens with Paige, a children's book author, who is struggling with writer's block. She decided to buy a house out int eh countryside to get a change of pace to hopefully get the creative juices flowing. But this house is a little odd, and Paige starts to see weird things. eventually we are introduced to the fairy Faye. Now I'm not going to go into more details since the whole point is to enjoy the story. So let's focus on the other stuff. The art is fantastic. The CGs, the sprites, and the backgrounds all look just amazing, so gorgeous. The music is very nice a fitting the story. I also appreciated that every time a new song started, a window in the top popped up and stated what the name of the song was. The story o…
