Description It’s the roaring 20’s. Alcohol-loving Americans are chafing underneath the restrictions of Prohibition, but speakeasies have thankfully risen to fill the void with ill-begotten booze. The Blind Griffin is one such speakeasy in San Francisco, California, but it’s about to go out of business...because its employees are a den of magicians who are more concerned with their magical studies and experiments than moonshine! Desperate not to lose the building that has become their haven, they hire the first streetsmart guttersnipe they find with some experience to help turn things around, but could she perhaps turn out to be the strongest magician of them all?

This game has 10 endings and 6 CGs. All writing/programming was done by me, Lorelei . The art was a joint effort between Auro-Cyanide  and RinslettuceNoyemi K  was our music composer.

For more information about the game and to download, please see the official website .

The game is free to download but if you'd like to leave us a tip, we'd really appreciate it! The OST will be up for digital download/sale at a later date. Comments, criticism, and cookies are all very much appreciated! We hope you enjoy our game~

This is a really late comment but...this game is so good. ;o I wish it was longer or had a sequel or something. Guess I'll just have to use my imagination for now. XD

I went through and played through all the endings and I am so glad I did.  

I really liked everyone's stories and how the second time playing through, you got to see from the guys' perspective of a few events. I also feel like the non-romanced characters made an equally powerful impact on me as the player, which is refreshing. I quite like the heroine's attitude as well, and the way she looks doesn't scream 'typical heroine' which is one of the things I love about the heroines you draw.  

I won't give out any spoilers But I will say that the CG for Emi's romance end was the bee's knees. Absolutely adorable! <3

Thank you for playing!

I'm glad to hear you liked seeing the guys perspectives, that's something new we've been trying out and I think it added some nice extra info to replays. I'm also glad to hear you liked the secondary characters, it was really fun to have a more expanded cast. I enjoyed the heroine as well, she was a lot of fun to work with.

Ah, I'm glad you liked that one! It was my favourite too, I liked the way their expressions came out.

Just happened upon this so I haven't played it yet, but I want to say how much I LOVE the graphic design in this promo card! Love, love, love that '20s-inspired logo. And the metallic gold texture. And from glancing at the screenshots, looks like the design elements carry-through. Clean. I like it. Nice job!

Thank you! I was pretty excited to be able to do Art Deco designs for the UI and logo, it's such a fantastic style. We tried very hard to make sure the whole game had a 1920's tone and it was very exciting to see it come together. Thank you so much for your kind comment!

Thank you so much for playing! If it's any consolation, we feel the same XD It's one of the first times we've felt like we were really getting a hang of the world building, we would love to explore it more. Maybe one day in the future?

That's really nice game ^^

I like all the characters and the story. You've done an amazing work on it.
That visual novel made me laugh a lot, especially the night of the new years and when the main character tell them her age. Alexei' second ending was so fun, even it was not the best ending to reach but xD

Alex is my favorite character because he is stern but funny sometimes.

I hope you'll make more visual novels.

Congrats on the release. I'm amazed at how you consistently produce nice art at such a quick pace. (I need to make time for actually playing people's VNs!)

Thank you so much! Haha, I guess deadlines help a lot XD
Oh lol, I think we all struggle with that, making games kind of gets in the way of playing them sometimes. I struggle to play my own... sometimes I actually don't come to think of it haha :'D
