The Steam “false flag” saga continues. Legit buy your visual novels anywhere else people, I’m so serious. www.tumblr.com/sirenscallga...

Dev update for Second Wind: I can’t pause marketing just because Steam is being like this. Because JAST picked us up, I am going to continue running Reddit ads for the game, but I've changed the link on the ad from Steam to JAST. Gotta keep moving forward. The game deserves it

A Siren's Call spin-off game where Daisy eventually breaks free from her abusive, neglectful husband while confronting her own harmful tendencies while falling in love with a man exploring their own gender identity issues

Okay, it sucks I need to say this, but people gotta know. One common sentiment I’ve seen since sharing my story about Steam false flagging my visual novel as adult only has been: “Bro, it wasn’t even banned! False flagged, sure, but not BANNED. What’s the big deal?” Kinda is banned…

GREAT NEWS VISUAL NOVEL FRIENDS After the nonsense with Steam incorrectly flagging my VN and ya’ll help, the absolute HEROES at JAST USA are bringing not just Second Wind, but Escape Velocity to their store front. It’s an honor to be here. <3 jaststore.com/games/pens00...

Big fan of DLsite for visual novel assets as well. They have a BUNCH of really high quality, royalty-free resources you can use. Love their backgrounds in particular.

thread of resources for VN dev, mostly ren'py links & creative commons databases ^_^ yay ^_^ 🧵

Update for Siren’s Call: Second Wind… Still no luck with Steam. They will not remove the false flag from my game, which not only destroyed any chance I had of recouping my loses from making it, but also is, at the end of the day, forced false advertising for my visual novel. Trying again…

"How do you express your gender" I live in a reality where I'm basically Barry Goodman, which is fine, but sometimes I want to be concept art Ruth from Siren's Call: Second Wind...

God dammit…

@steampowered.com @steamsupport.bsky.social Can we get some actual reviewers to spend more than 30 minutes looking over an 8 hour game before damning it to hell for having non-existent sex scenes. You are harming the developers who make you platform what it is.

O jogo do meu parça @thepensword.bsky.social, Siren's Call: Second Wind, foi restrito no Steam sem um motivo claro além de "conteúdo sexual frequente", algo que não representa em nada o enredo do game. Vamos fazer pressão pro Steam tirar essa propaganda enganosa? www.gameblast.com.br/2026/05/sire...

Despite my best efforts, Siren’s Call: Second Wind will likely not be coming to steam… Here is why: www.tumblr.com/sirenscallga...

The demo for Second Wind is live on both Steam AND Itch.io. I will be awaiting your feedback. ❤️ Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/4310350/... Itch: thepensword64.itch.io/sirens-call-... #noticeme #vn #visualnovel #demo #indiedev

Good things come to those who wait. But I don’t like to keep people waiting long. The demo for Siren’s Call: Second Wind is live now. Enjoy the love. 💕 store.steampowered.com/app/4310350/... #indiegames #vn #visualnovel #seeyousoon

Welcome to the wedding of a lifetime. Both our official first trailer for Siren’s Call: Second Wind and the Kickstarter preview page is now live! Heavily inspired by the game Catherine, Second Wind is a VN where your choices determine the story’s genre. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAoK... #indiegame

It’s going to become really obvious in a couple of days why I couldn’t make any big announcements about the next Siren’s Call game until this year. Just a little bit longer friends. I’ll see you soon. #visualnovel #indiedev #sweetdreams

I’ve been waiting so long to show you my love. And now, it will FINALLY be able to shine through. Do you hear the wedding bells? Fly high little butterfly. Heaven is trying to clip your wings. www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2kd... #visualnovel #vn #indiegame #teaser #sirenscall

I may never have the means/success to make a Siren’s Call fighting game like I want to (working title Siren’s Call: Golden Fantasia) but I DO have the highest rated VN on VNDB with the tag “Autistic Protagonist” so that’s something I can bring up at thanksgiving dinner right?????

So after 4 or so hours of playing, I can say with confidence that I’ve decoded the mystery behind what the “F” in silent hill f stands for!!! It’s…it’s five. This is silent hill five people. Lives up to that idea too. Let’s see if it can stick the landing.

Turns out Steam changes the currency of the store based on what country I’m in. Interesting. BUT NOT AS INTERESTING AS SIREN’S CALL BEING ON SALE!!!1 Buy it for a friend, a spouse, your cat. Thank you goodbye! *jumps out window 🚀🛹🌚 store.steampowered.com/app/2469950/... #steam #indie #visualnovel

TGS has been a life changing experience! Thank you so much to World Map for having us! Anybody who is at the show, please comes check out Siren’s Call at the World Map booth in hall 11 (and also give some of their other amazing games a try n_n). So much talent here!

Kinda crazy to me how Siren’s Call: Escape Velocity has almost double the reviews on VNDB (visual novel data base) than on Steam. I feel like this says something, but I don’t know exactly what. #visualnovels #vndb #steam

The ending of Siren’s Call: Escape Velocity has become, to my surprise, the most contentious aspect of the game. There were things I thought people would be much more divided on. For our first game/visual novel, it’s kinda cool to see, ngl. Love both of these reviews. #indiegame #visualnovel

During high school, I entered my villain arc in style. It started after beating my ex-girlfriend in a state-level poetry contest with a poem about how much of a better poet I was than her. She wrote a poem about how she didn’t understand my religion and came in 2nd place.

The psychotic urge to discount Siren’s Call to as low as Steam will let me during the next summer sale just to see what will happen.

To celebrate us like…well…finally turning a profit on Siren’s Call: Escape Velocity, I’m giving away 50 keys for the game on Steam Gifts. Love visual novels? Enter it Hate Florida? Enter it. Thank you all for the love and support. www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/RcY... #indiegames #giveaway #steam

It took a long freaking time, but thanks to the Steam Summer sale, as of an hour ago, we are finally out of debt for the development of Siren’s Call: Escape Velocity. Our current total profit is 2$. :) Thank you to everyone who gave our game a chance. store.steampowered.com/app/2469950/...

"Yet Another Killing Game" has achieved 100 Steam reviews, with a whopping NINETY NINE percent (99%) being positive! 🥳 Thank you to all who left a review (including the negative one!) and we hope you'll keep YAKG in your hearts for years to come~ 🥰 #visualnovel #vndev #YetAnotherKillingGame

And that makes two. The script for my second game is completely and totally done. And now we turn it into something real. See you all soon.

Did you know that while you're waiting for Persona 4 Revival, there's a psychological horror visual novel inspired by P4? It's called Siren's Call: Escape Velocity by @thepensword.bsky.social and it's amazing and you can play it right now. youtube.com/shorts/vCugU...

Boneswords rise up! Thank you so much LetsDuuub for the awesome and hilarious spotlight. Ya’ll are definitely invited to my Flor-mitzva. Check out the video here! www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXFS... #visualnovel #LetsDuuub #sirenscall

Summer is just around the corner! And what better way to spend summer than being trapped in Florida??? :3 Siren’s Call: Escape Velocity is now 40% off on Steam! Enjoy the sunshine: 🌞 🌚 #indiegame #florida #visualnovel store.steampowered.com/app/2469950/...

If I had a nickel for each Megami Tensei inspired indie game that I covered today that featured a male protagonist dressed up in a maid outfit, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's so freakin' hot that it happened twice.

JUDITH HI! Insanely honored to be a part of this video series I've always loved. Please check out not just this video, but all of Strain's videos because it is the BEST Megami Tensei source on the web imo.
