House of Petals
A downloadable House of Petals for Windows and macOS
A psychological thriller otome visual novel that blends romance, mystery, and slow-burn horror. Set in a beautifully haunting version of ancient Asia, it invites you to investigate, explore, and survive.
You awaken in the serene yet unfamiliar Lotus Pavilion, with no memory of who you are or how you got there. Beside you is Han—a gentle, soft-spoken artist who claims to be your husband. He insists you simply suffered a fall and lost your memory. Everything he does seems devoted to your comfort… but the more you explore your surroundings, the more unsettling things become. Is Han truly who he says he is? And more importantly—who are you? 4 days is all you have to survive and find out the truth.
Features:
🩸Full voice acting (thank you to our Kickstarter backers)
🩸Customizable name, female she/her mc
🩸One yandere love interest with multiple endings depending on your investigation and choices in the base game, and 1 mysterious love interest in our DLC Expansion Pack!
🩸Point-and-click investigation and exploration mechanics where you can collect clues and make deductions
🩸The game is designed to be playable, with many different endings based on your choices
🩸Psychological thriller storytelling with a slow, creeping sense of dread
🩸An eerie and stunning atmospheric setting inspired by ancient Asia
🩸Perfect for fans of otome games, yandere characters, and dark romance
🩸Beautiful 2d anime style CGs
➡️ Will you trust the one who calls you his beloved—or uncover the fate that truly awaits you?

What our players are saying:
“I LOVED THIS GAME AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I freaked out during the whole demo and kept writing down all the new things I discovered on paper, hahaha..”
Demo player
“JUST FINISHED THE DEMO!! thats was hot!! the design, animation, music!! loved it!!! i could see the effort and detail you had put in it!! love it and cant wait for the rest of it!!! Xx”
Demo player
“The production value is insane. Art direction is *chef's kiss* from UI, to sprites to CGs to backgrounds... The mechanics are so neat: the notebook with clues feature to try and deduce stuffs, and the point and click gameplay really gives the game a detective vibe. It's like playing as Sherlock Holmes but more sinister, I love it. The writing introduces the mysteries at a good pace, not too fast (becoming lore dumping) nor too slow (making you lose interest), it is just perfect : D I have so many questions ahhhh.”

this might be the first game to make my aroace ass actually bate my breath at that bed scene. Like, Han's feelings are just so overwhelming, and he might be the only yandere, red-flag guy I can make myself stay oblivious for. DAYUM.
Um for some reason texts are not showing???
same, then a voice over came up and read the text but i don't know if that just my device.
SAME, why is this happening?? We're you also playing it on Android using Renpy pocket?
I sure am 😂, but I don't think it works on Renpy pocket. I tried to download it on renpy with my phone it said the file did not work. Then I got it on my Chromebook laptop and it downloaded but still showed no text. I thought it was apart of the game at first lol
anyone knows how do i get the fragmanted vision ending? T_T
BABY PLS MAKE IT FOR ANDROID, IT LOOKS GOOD 😭
Hi! I reallyyyy loved the game, the voice acting, and the visuals are just amazing!! I just have a question, is the dlc available and if so how can I get it since I don't see the option anywhere?
tysm! The dlc will come out right when the full game is released this year!
can someone tell me how long is the gameplay
im in lov
Please make a Android
can we have a guide for the endings?
how many endings and cgs are available right now?
There are 9 endings right now!
Holy fuck, I didn't expect the ending when MC finally got into his studio! Han, whyyy, we really didn't see anything!!! Were those crocodile tears all the other times MC lost consciousness?! The mystery is killing me. Somehow I suspect MC married his brother and he "fixed" it... I have literally no evidence, but he seems like the type to have killed everyone. That servant knows he's next lol
happy you enjoyed the demo!!
I hope to play in Android or browser, this art style is very much liked
Wow this game is incredible!!! There's so much mystery and possible theories I have that I cannot wait for more!!
Thank you, we're glad to hear you enjoyed the demo!
esta en español
how likely is it that we´re going to get another hidden yandere and how likely is it to be An?
does i have virus ?
No
Pónganlo para Android 🗣️🗣️🗣️
why I cant download it ?
Apologies, there was some page refreshing problem on our end, you should see it now!
yay I can see now, thxxx
Wait i don't see the download button, where is it?
Also does it work with Joiplay?
Apologies, there was some page refreshing problem on our end, you should see it now!
Ty. I shall try it. Do you know if it works with joiplay?🤔💜💋
I don’t think it does at the moment, at least I know we haven’t set that up specifically. How popular do you think it is used among vn players like yourself?
It looks very interesting and as a vn person, just by being told there's multiple routes leading to different outcomes really has me interested. I'm also allowed to insert myself in the story so that is like a double plus bonus for me to want to play it. Joiplay is DEFINITELY something that would draw more people here or even just a mobile port😝💜💋
I tried it out on joiplay before, yes it does work lolol
Thank you for playing! There're 9 endings in the demo! The release is planned for this fall!
I really tried to get into the story, I really did. I found little reason to fall for the male lead other than the fact he has a nice sprite. This is mystery and otome, yes, but it's more 90% mystery with 10% otome.
The MC lacks a lot of agency unfortunately, and I stopped playing a while after the MC didn't even try to get out of the room while it was literally burning down.
So well made! it feels very much like you're actually exploring and figuring out what happened to you
Android plss!!
Android Plssss!!! Aaaaaaaaa!!!
i think this is the best game i have played this year, such an amazing work
Thank you so much for the high praise. We're so happy you had a great experience!
I kept getting lit on fire by the servant but this was a very fun game!
Thank you so much! We're very excited to continue development and have a full release this year!
everything about this game is INSANE!!!! the arts??? AMANZING, the story?? PERFECT EVEN WITH SECRECTS, Han?? My lovely husband, i LOVE his voice!!!!!! AND THIS IS THE DEMO???? how could be so perfect 100|10
OOhh thank you so much for your kind comments! I'm so glad you love Han! Our team is working very hard to make this project come true!! If you enjoyed the demo, and haven't consider sharing and engaging with our Kickstarter, we have 4 more days to make this game a reality this year!

How do I play the game without paying?
The demo is free to play!
Theres no button to play it there's only a download button and it keeps telling me to donate when I click it
you click the gray line that says, 'no thanks take me to the download'
How do I actually start playing now that I downloaded it?
is this your first time using a pc...? you unzip the file onto your desktop or wherever you want and click the game...
Will it be possible to change the mc's skintone to a darker one at any point in the future?
No, we don't have plan to let players customize appearance for House of Petals. If you want an mc with full appearance customization, stay tuned for our game Capybara Cafe Chronicles.
How many new endings and CGs are there in this update?
3 extra endings and 3 cgs
