A downloadable game for Windows

~This game was created in a month for Yandere Jam~

It will continue to be developed afterward


~ Setting ~

It's Muscatt's birthday! The mansion is decorated, the best bards in town will make the party lively, and the servants will stock the table with food and wine. 

This time, it's even more special: Muscatt's dad promised to let him embark on his journey across the land and enjoy his so long desired freedom.

But before that, it seems there are some pretty cute guests around, so what about enjoying the party to its fullest? 

  

(this setting was borrowed from my D&D campaign. It's not necessary to understand the game but if you are curious, you can read the race cards here.)


~ Characters ~











~ Current Features:

- Around 3k words

- Original soundtrack 

- 10 CGs

- Maple's full route with 3 endings

(The game is currently a demo, but Maple's full route is available to play and I intend to work on releasing a little intro and the other routes all with 3 endings each and its own set of CGs after the jam and will remain to be a free game.)

Hello! I was wondering before I play this game if this is still being updated??

It is still being worked on >.<! A devlog is going to be posted next month but progress is slow because I'm trying to graduate this year.

OH MY GOSH I LOVE THIS, from the design and choice of words, I'm looking forward to more, wondering about ur process?

Happy to hear! I will post the next public devlog, in the near future, with the progress so far >.<. If it's just about general design process, I've written a few public jam post-mortem on my ko-fi. If it's just about HMP devlogs I do posts as I complete a step of development on ko-fi for supporters. Thank you for playing!

A really pleasant VN, you can really feel the effort put into the setting of the story, the world building is really well done and it comes to life thanks to the nice illustrations and music. The characters are also really interesting since they come from very different backgrounds.

My only suggestion would be to get a proofreader or be more careful with the writing because those mistakes tend to break the immersion and that's a shame given how good this game is.

Keep the good work!

Thank you very much for your video! Yes, english is not my first language so I'm sorry for any confusing text, I had my friend help me catch errors last minute but even then still had things slip >.<!

Very happy with the compliments on the designs and music! I hope to improve those as well for the final release. 

It's more of a chance thing, but congrats on having the charm in the first playthrough! The endings label are more toward the yandere LI's perspective so that's why it's Maple's bad ending XD. 

Again thank you for your video and feedback, I'll definitely seek a proofreader in the future.

What can I say... I love everything about it ^-^ Definitely can't wait to see more!

Not only is your art gorgeous as always, but your soundtrack is cool, your CG reveals and transitions are some of the most cinematic I've ever seen in a VN, and there's plenty of yandere goodness in the route you released x3

It is indeed, a Happy Merry Party! <3

Thank you very much for all your feedback, I was really happy to bring these characters to life. I'm proud I was able to learn how to frame de CGs like that because it was one of the most important things about how I wanted the game to look like. And yes Maple, especially, is a true yandere route, completely unapologetic about his behavior XD.

Thanks again for playing! 

About or mystery man... I guess we'll have to wait and see ;3

Wah~ I really do enjoyed this one. I will be waiting for the full version <3

Thank you!! Glad you liked it ^.^

Really enjoyed this game! Great detail and amazing artwork really made me feel immersed in the world! Played through all the 3 endings, and really looking forward to seeing the other characters!

Thank you!! Glad you liked it :D

Despite all the warnings, I still charged in like a damn fool and I will never regret it. Happy Merry Party was so unique. All the details were carefully crafted. I felt as if I was lost in an ongoing festival with all the hype and tension. The game managed to emerge me with its dynamic style and strong storytelling.

Thank you so much for the kind words! >.<
