About Lumiere Entertainment

“We’re creating the best in interactive entertainment by making games that change the way people have fun.”
I loved the look! It’s so simple and clean to the eye, VN Koreans tend to have a maximum of two MLs to win over, unlike Japanese people who add more diversity to try to gain more audience. My only reservation in general is that they are usually quite short, but they are well made in general. Keep an eye out when it goes out!
We really need more slice of life romance stories, they just hit differently! I am excited to see how this one pans out, I’ve played a few Korean titles before and I’ve always really liked the stories, so I have high hopes.
