Teach me how to love!
Love spells? Easy.
Crushes? Complicated.
Self-worth? …We’re not ready to talk about that.
In this short visual novel, you summon Vaiden — a cunning incubus, hoping to win your crush’s affection.
But when he flips the question back to you, things take an unexpected turn. What do you love about yourself?
Sometimes, the love spells isn’t about making someone love you , it’s about remembering how to love yourself first.

This is a submission for O2A2 VN Jam with limitation 1 BG, 1 sprite/character, 1 BGM used, and maximum of 1000 words (so it's going to be short)

Dude, this is so sweet and cute, I LOVE ITTTTT
Thank you 😭🖤
Jaja no manches, llore
Voy a jugar ya vengó
I’m crying.. the route I chose hit really close to home. This was really well made :))
hey so.. I cried! The reassuring tone throughout the whole story is pleasant, comforting just as the team wished. I personally enjoyed how the ending remains open to interpretation and how we never really needed to give a name, pronouns to the MC it was just... us. The somewhat androgynous looks of the incubus make everything stuck together, the feminine face but a masculine upper-body. This visual novel was truly a little masterpiece that I'll keep in my gallery to go and look back at it whenever I need comfort. I hope I expressed myself without losing the point I wanted to make, great work! I hope to see more from this team.
oh my Lord why am i tearing up
omg this does more to me than it should holy shit
This was so cute and wholesome
Omggg, I’m honestly crying. This kind of came at the perfect time lol, I loved it!!
Loveable! Felt like a comfy and warm hug to me.

juuuuuu igual yoooooo, ame...
Juro que venía para distraerme un rato, me pareció tan morboso el personaje que dije "Ja, seguramente lo encontraré chistoso" Pero no, gracias. me recordaste como seguir, millones de gracias ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This was not at all what I expected it to be but nonetheless I still ended up crying by the end of it </3 genuinely such a beautiful message delivered by an adorably buff man
Dang,this nearly made me cry.This was so peak
Thanks for making me cry. I need to go cry more in a corner, because like. UGH.
he who chases butterflies drives them away, but he who creates a beautiful garden attracts butterflies. And if the butterflies don't come, he still has a beautiful garden.
AWWWWWWWWW
This felt so soft and tender, like a hug on a lonely night. Thanks for that <3
I started crying mid play through, 1000/10 it was phenomenal
Short, sweet, and definitely worth taking the time for.
This was so incredibly sweet !! Vaiden is absolutely precious and so are you ^
Hi, I really loved the work.
I'd like to translate it into Spanish—would you give me permission?
I'm just starting out; I'm not looking for any financial compensation—I just want you to share it!
Thank you very much
I really love this short visual novel, instead of the typical cliche of the incubus falling in love with you he changes the whole plot and ACTUALLY helps you out with your self-esteem and loving yourself before loving other.
It was a really lovely experience that made me cry <3
this was lovely and so sweet <
I was not expecting to cry, for this to hit so hard, to share it with my friends and also have them cry. Absolute peak game
Thank you for playing and for sharing my work for others! ଘ(੭*ˊᵕˋ)੭* ੈ♡‧₊˚
No problem! I love playing hidden gems! I love helping people get more recognition of their games!
Damn ok this is making me cry on a Saturday night ok
Thank you so much for playing! ヾ( ˃ᴗ˂ )◞ • *✰ I hope you're okay now and i hope everything will get better very soon! (*´▽`*)❀.
10/10 I simply have no words
Thank you so much for playing!!! (*´▽`*)❀.
I didn't expect anything from the storyline. I assumed it was a short romance game, but it was far from my expectations. It was such a pleasant surprise, especially because it hit close to home. (totally didn't feel a tiny bit emotional, hehe). Thank you for making such an adoring game !! I love how our wish was changed to teach us how to love ourselves. Preach the "You can't love anyone if you can't love yourself." Love yourselves ppl !!
Wow! Thank you for this. It was very short but it was very nice and comforting. It hit me deep in the feels and it really felt like I was conversing with him. Like, everything the MC said felt like they came from my mind. I love this so much! 🥹🥹🥹
Thank you so much for playing and for writing this review! ( ˘͈ ᵕ ˘͈♡)˚๐*˟♡ Just like the MC from the game, dont forget to love yourself too! ଘ(੭◌ˊᵕˋ)੭* ੈ♡‧₊˚
Very short. But very very sweet. I had no idea i needed that....thank you for this sweet reminder to love myself :3
Thank you so much for playing!! ❀.(*´◡`*)❀ Dont forget to take care of yourself first! ᕙ( •̀ ᗜ •́ )ᕗ
