Wolkendorf legend whispers of a ferocious beast that prowls the shadows of every snowfall...

Once upon a time, in the woods near the sleepy town of Wolkendorf, Germany, there lived a healer named Catrin Rosenberg.  On her way to her relatives' house for Heiligabend dinner, she crosses paths with the frosted behemoth known as the Silver Devil. But is he truly as fearsome as the tales claim?

What new and wondrous legends will be spun from this chance encounter between angel and devil? ...Well, that's up for you to decide, isn't it?

What a cute VN! The wintery atmosphere is nice, and the art really suits the fairytale style of the narrative. It's a short, cosy read that I enjoyed a lot!

Also, I wound up liking Wulfgang (and his identical twin Houndlone LMAO) more than I expected. He's very Gaston-coded; I feel like he deserves his own bombastic villain song haha

Thanks so much! 

And yeah, for as much of an ass as he is, Wulfgang is also kinda fun in his own way.

Hahaha thank you for playing!!
Houndlone was my fav line too XD
I'm glad the tiny hints of endearing in the detestable Wulfgang shined through

This was a really lovely game. I enjoyed the whole vibe of it--the art style + backgrounds + GUI really did it for me, and gave me a nice cozy winter vibe. I loved Claus so much, he really is the best boi. I was so happy there was an option to pet him lol it must have been like petting a Samoyed or an Angora rabbit--super soft and fluffy. The heroine was a pip too. 

I was impressed by how hateable Wulfgang was! Every time I didn't think he could say something more nasty or cringeworthy, he immediately did. The "feminine aversion to bloodshed" was the icing on the cringe cake. I could feel my insides crumpling from the undiluted ick

Good job, y'all!!

Thanks for the feedback! Claus is indeed the greatest love interest!


Yeah, I'm impressed by Jaqui's ability to make me cringe at the very presence of my own character. She did a great job, and it was great working with her.

CLAUS IS BEST BOI INDEED!
I loooove melody's art and it was so much fun to write such an adorable character!
I feel like I have a hidden talent of writing super cringey ick-inducing characters too hahaha

(+2)

Hehe thank you! Glad you enjoyed the choices and I die for bow tie Claus too 🥺

Had fun writing this story, especially Wulfgang and I’m grateful to Melody and Lynnasaurus for making the adorable Claus peeking through window idea come to life (it’s even cuter than imagined heh)

Happy to hear you appreciate the different endings 😄✨

Huzzah! I finally get to see Claus and Catrin in the flesh. (And Wulfgang too I guess)

THE CURSOR IS A HEART?? That's very cute.

This whole game feels like it's been taken right out of a storybook!! Kudos to the team for a wonderful VN ( ´ ∀ `)ノ~ ♡
