I think you’ve got it a bit mixed up. As our main page states, Dante and Circe have the same amount of romance options. Abraxas is exclusive to Circe, while Iridis can only be romanced by Dante.
As this is oniy a Kickstarter demo and about 1/3 of the length of the final demo we will release, Iridis does not have a lot of screentime yet.
just played circe's route and oh my god. everything about this VN is absolutely stunning!!!!!!! it has such a clean edge to it - from the gorgeous UI, to the gorgeous CGs (!!!!!!!!!!) - just everything about it has me awestruck....
i have to say, none of the characters were what i expected them to be. especially edgar. oh eddie. he is so much more of a smarmy asshole than i expected and i LOVE it. i'm guessing it's in part due to the relationship between him and circe, but man oh man. their banter had me smiling. circe's inner dialogue surrounding him pulls at my heartstrings. i also love abraxas, and i'm itching for more of nocturne!!!!!!! this is how i can make a circe polycule happen
they're all just so very charming, with backstories i want to dig my claws into and peel. apart. but genuinely, the most interesting character to me as of now is circe. is there an option to romance myself?? LOL and i loved how characters from dante's route appeared. makes the story feel so much grander in size with all these moving pieces. overall, i'm sooo excited for the full game!!!!!!!! ahh!!!!!!
1 2 3 i want yuri !!!!! honestly what caught me in was the art and the way the story and the characters themselves are introduced I ADOREEEE THISSSS !!
OMG LOVE IT! first story wise very excited to see where it will go and big fan of the 2 perspectives, kinda ties everything into a neat bow. and the art is chefs kiss 10/10 excited to see the games updates in the future:D
The demo is gorgeous and all the characters are so interesting! Definitely looking forward to the full release and sending all the love to the team and fingers crossed with the kickstarter campaign!
A question: If we encounter bugs what would be the best way to report them? I ran into a rather funny issue where I was rereading/fast-forwarding through the Zeno rooftop introduction and paused right after he was supposed to turn upright again, but instead of that he ended up staying upside down with only his legs showing for the rest of the scene :DD
Also, I saw a comment about this so you know the slow load and save times issue already, but adding one more count to that happening! In addition to that when playing on my PC going back in dialogue with the scroll wheel is super slow as well!
Hello! We’ve already been made aware of the Zeno flip issue (it’d been a pain during the beta testing as well haha but seems it was not solved after all), but you can report any other bugs or issues here! Thank you!
Thank you for playing! Yes, we’ve been made aware that some players are experiencing slow load/save times and freezing. That’s definitely something we’ll work on to make sure the game runs more smoothly in the future. <3
I just finished your other game, and this looks like it could be peak! The scope seems much larger, which has me a little worried, but I'm excited to see more from you guys.

Loving the story so far, and LOVE the protags. However I do wish there was a female RO for Dante :[
