Did you ever watch the Smurfs, look at Smurfette and think… I wonder how that might play out if…? Good news! Now you can get a taste of that life in Akash! I will note that the scenario does have interesting implications that are worth being looked at such as: what happens in a culture that sees a decline in the birth of their women, how does it feel to be put in a situation where you are both revered and yet also coveted, and so forth. While I think Akash started to scratch at some of these concepts, it isn’t really attempting philosophy in most of the content though you can get more of the world building and general flavor of the setting if you read the Appendix in the extras menu.
Aurora is the sole female in hundreds of years to appear in her species (elementals). Since this transition to a fixed sex only happened when she was ten, and she doesn’t reach her age of majority culturally or magically until age twenty, she’s had ten long years of having her entire culture’s hopes be pinned on her to eventually marry and start popping out babies. The titular five are all elemental boys who have grown up with her since early childhood in what amounts to an elite training program, which is why they are still going to what has the feel of a high school even at twenty. When it comes to the romance itself, there is really only one progression of events so I would recommend playing your favorite bachelor trope first because for archetypes you’re less interested in there won’t be gads of new content. That being said, I was rather fond of the majority of them and none of them pressed any of my “creep” buttons, which happens so often in these games.
I could have done without the central conflict that was presented in the story and just stuck with the tension that could easily have come from so many expectations being forced on a single person in an insular and diminishing community. There was enough material there, and would have kept the focus on Aurora instead of a much less relatable inter-species agreement with the humans. I was also constantly disoriented by the blurry background contrasting with the crisp sprites, it made me think I wasn’t wearing my glasses. Things this game did very well, however, were presenting dialog in a conversational and organic fashion, and superlative voice acting. Despite faults, I do think this game was enjoyable, but when the deepest emotional connections I got were from extra (text) epilogues that tells me this one isn’t quite on target.
Mindless Box update sort of? I wanted to show why the demo is taking so long lmfao. I underestimated how long these backgrounds would take. I still need to finish 4 more.
I… miss RPG Maker /cries/
Please look forward to the demo!
SISTER ROSAURA?
I was also wondering if the faces on the chair were supposed to be reminiscent to the girl’s burlap sack face in Monster Love Party or if it was just a coincidence?
But wow, the backgrounds look really nice. I’m impressed with the perspective! Really impressed.
Here it is! The Mindless Box kickstarter! It’s finally live!! I’m launching my first ever kickstarter in the hopes that I may bring my game up to a professional level. I hope to commission artists, fund translations and release goods for Mindless Box.
Any subsequent funding from this kickstarter will also go towards future MT games! That means Sewn Family series, Dragon’s Pride, and everything else.
Please spread the word and follow MT for Mindless Box updates and more!
Thank you everyone for your continuing support.
For the day crowd! Thanks everyone for all the reblogs and likes!
Cupid Parasite was updated!! I hope they fixed the font (typically the font would be italicized when the protagonist is thinking to herself but I noticed the text looks exactly the same so it’s hard to tell when she’s speaking or thinking). Honestly, I’m glad the game got this support so long after release since most otome games are left with these issues.
If you haven’t already, make sure to update your game! To update, highlight Cupid Parasite on the Switch home screen,, press the “+” button and select software update. It’s super simple.
I headcannon that all the princes have 1 mole on their body with the exeption of one prince. So did there father before them and so will there kids. Its like a family thing.
Let’s start with the most obvious ones
1-Clavis
Obviously got one under his lips.
2-Luke
Got one on his chest.
3-The klein twins
Nokto being the only prince who doesnt have any because licht took his and got 2 instead of one.
Now onto the less obvious ones.
5-Leon
Since its not visible from his avatar i headcannon that his mole is on his right shoulderblade.
6-Chevalier
I dont know why but i quite like the idea of him having one on his inner right tight.
7-Yves
Sorry yves, i love you but i see you having a mole on your buttcheek.
8-Jin
I really dont know for him. Maybe on his foot or his scalp.
Now that i m finally done with this stupid headcannon i finally understand why you should not write or do anything after two pm.
Chevalier’s route in this current event is just adorable.
They are spending 1 week away from each other and both there pov make it seems like they'v been separated for months. Its just so sweet.
Mc is thinking of chevalier every opportunity she gets and chevalier is in an extremely bad mood because he misses MC.
Incredibly cute. I played the premium ending and bought the epilogue but i m kinda dissapointed by how short the epilogue felt. I usually loves epilogues but this one was not worth it. (Aside from a few lines were chevalier admits he spent all their time apart thinking about her.)
Kuddo to clavis for being a matchmaker again and helping mc reach enlightement.
This scenario is very very heavily inspired from a manhwa called ‘seduce the villains father’
-The events happens after the main story. Belle already chose chevalier as a king but did not fall in love with him. U r free to imagine her in love with any of the other princes or she could just be single and become a bureaucrat.
-Our MC is silvio’s sister. She was sent to Rhodolite along silvio to attend Chevalier Corronation.
-There she meets Chevalier and they share the same passion for books. They talk a lot and exchange books from their respective country.
-MC was never scared of Chevalier or his imposing aura. She is a princess after all and she fears no one. She is bubbly and light hearted and likes to live life as it goes.
-Obsidian invade Jade and silvio is forced to return to his home country and leaves MC in Rhodolite because it is safer for her.
-Rhodolite and Benitoite sends troupe to help fend the invasion.
-Meanwhile MC and Chevalier spend even more time together and fall in love. She discover Chevalier’s cruel and merciless side but she is not stupid and knows that sometimes killing is necessary.
-Neverthless she thinks that compromising should comes first and killing can only be used as a last resort.
-They fall more and more in love and one night as they were debating about the importance of balls and socialising they end up kissing each other.
-From then on they kiss many many times but whitout ever deciding what the nature of their relationship is.
-Finally MC snaps out of it and ask Chevaliers what she means to him.
-“I love you, Chevalier! But what about you ?”
“I do not kiss a woman i have no feelings for.”
-And that was all the answer she needed. From that point on they were officially lovers.
-It was a secret relationship that no one aside from the two and Clavis because he surprised them one morning both naked in Chevalier’s bed knew.
-Clavis was kept to silence because MC was scary when she’s angry.
-After that the war between Obsidian and Jade is over and as Chevalier predicted Obsidian is trying to attack Rhodolite instead.
-Chevalier had already predicted that the war with jade was only a diversion and he already had resources ready for the war.
-Neverthless, the jade royal family demanded that Chevalier sent MC back and both he and MC decided it was for the best that she goes back until the political tensions were appeased.
-They spend one last night together and MC goes back to Jade.
-2 years pass and MC and Chevalier never stopped secretly sending letters to each other.
-Chevalier won the war and took most of Obsidian territory making Rhodolite the most powerfull contry in the continent.
-Peace was back and Chevalier decided it was a good time to bring MC back and make her his queen.
-But there is one big problem, MC does not answer his letters anymore.
-He thought of all posibilities but Clavis liked to tease him and says MC got sick of waiting.
-After 2 months of unanswered letters he decides to do something beyond all rationality and reasons going against all his principles.
-Yes, love made the always cool headed and rational chevalier irrational.
-Meanwhile, at Jade royal palace, princess MC was angrily pacing back and forth in her lavish room.
-It has been 2 months she did not receive any letter from Chevalier. She sent him many letters yet she never received any answer.
-She thought of many possibilities, he got sick of her, found someone else to be his queen, it has been 2 years after all maybe he forgot all about her.
-As she was pacing back and forth anxiously her lady in waiting propose she goes to town to take her minds off things.
-The truth is, her lady in waiting in knew why the princess was angry. After all she was the one who discovered the stack of letters she received from Rhodolite’s young king and reported everything to prince silvio.
-Silvio who was overprotective of his 'innocent’ younger sister ordered her to bring to him any letter she might receive from Chevalier. He also ordered her to bring to him any letter the princess ordered her to give to the coursier.
-Because of that none of the letters she wrote for Chevalier were sent. And none of the letters she have received from chevalier came to her hands.
-The lady in waiting, seing how distressed the princess was, felt more and more guilty and proposed to go to town to alleviate her lady’s bad mood.
-MC agrees and goes to town along her lady in waiting and a bodyguard. They roam the busy streets disguised as commoners. MC’s mood is better and for the first time in 2 months she smiles.
-After a while they decided to go to a tavern and rest. As MC takes a seat at a table, the lady in waiting and bodyguard both leave to take their order.
-MC started thinking of Chevalier again. She misses him terribly. Just as she was thinking that maybe she would sneak to Rhodolite and confront him herself a stranger sit in front of her.
-She raise her head ready to tells him she was not alone when she freezes.
-Platinium blonde hair and ice blue eyes were staring at her.
“Finally, we meet again. You simpleton.”
The end of part 1. Maybe i ll write a part 2 if there are enough comments and likes
FIC IDEA : contain spoiler for chev romantic ending.
Sooo mc and chevalier had sex before she left the castle right? And ikemen prince is set in medieval times. And there was no reliable contraception at that time. Soooo what if mc after leaving the castle found herself pregnant with chevalier’s baby but the 99th clause forbide her from meeting chevalier to tell him and she was also scared of what would happen to the baby so she hid it with the help of rio and one year pass until cheva learn of his son/daughter existence thanks to clavis or by catching mc holding a blond baby during a parade (like the one on chap 23 when there eyes meet.).
Anyone is welcome to complete this plot or completely rewrite it in more details in the comment or in a post.
Ps: if u make a post pls tag me so i can read it !
