Developer Notes:

 If you're wondering why my main character sprites look so familiar,  they're edited versions of my Jin Guangyao and Lan Xichen sprite bases. The other sprites come from my free visual novel sprite packs, which you can download for your own use.

I managed to develop this game in less than a week by using my own premade sprite packs and recycling background images from my older games. I'd pants'ed the story too - it was mostly code skeletons which I later filled with relevant scenarios and added/subtracted points to/from.

"Himbleton" wasn't intended to refer to an actual place - I'd come up with the name of the game when I thought of the word, "himbo". I only Googled the word after starting the artwork and script and found out it was an actual place... but it was too much work to change.

This game's set in fantasy England with Victorian-inspired fashion. Just ignore the real-world details and you'll be fine. 😅

Enjoy!

Hi will this game be getting a downloadable version?? Also I love the Victorian style of the garments, very cute!

Aww thanks! I haven't built downloadable distributions for it, but we will see!
