Many years have passed since the events of A Tale of the Eagle Sword took place, and those days have long faded into the folds of history. Yet the legend of Higre Darveru and his companions still charms the minds of modern people. A certain studio has decided to capitalize on the popularity of this romantic tale and produce a best-selling historical drama.

Take on the role of the avid-fanfiction-writer protagonist as she ventures into the set and gets closer to the colorful members of the drama's cast. But not all is what it seems, and she soon finds herself at the center of a plot very different from what she signed up for ...


Just as you are getting acquainted with your new life in Wingate, you receive an unexpected invitation: spend one week (all-expenses-paid) on the set of your favorite drama, tour the shooting locations and meet the actors, have we mentioned it’s all-expenses-paid? It’s a once-in-a-lifetime chance to experience the world of celebrities, and, who knows, take your fanfiction to the next level!

But the set is nothing like you imagined it to be, and the romantic and alluring façade that bewitched millions of fans might be just that, a façade.

The dark, tangled world that lies behind those shiny gates will bring back a secret to haunt you from the past you have tried very hard to leave behind …

Who are you? Why were you invited to the set?

There is only one person who knows the truth …

Hi, is everything alright? ☺️ There hasn't been an official update since the April one and you described going through a lot of difficult stuff in that one 😔 Also, you used to post really regular updates, so that's also why I'm surprised at the lack of them now 😯

Hi Eva, thank you so much for your comment!
I sincerely apologize for the lack of updates (シ_ _)シ Indeed, so much has been going on in my life, these last few months went by in a blur and progress on the game has been slow.
But rest assured that we're still working on Her Choice! Currently, the extended demo has entered alpha testing and is scheduled to release in December!
You can also check out our socials, where we share smaller updates and more content related to the world of Her Choice:

I've gotten to play through Hano's route and it was really enjoyable! I like the story and the intrigue so far. The art is really cool too and it is awesome seeing so many different characters and their designs.

Thank you so much! We're really glad you're enjoying the game ⸜(。˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡
We hope you'll be looking forward to the extended demo, where you'll get to continue the story and meet even more characters!

Hello!! 

i played zanas route and im wondering if the water ending is the only one or if there is more right now?

Its such an interesting game and all the characters are so beautiful but also interesting lolz, looking forward for more <33

Hi Nahryla, thank you so much for trying out the game! We're so happy you enjoyed it ♡〜٩(^▿^)۶〜♡

The demo does not have any alternative "endings" since it only contains content up to Day 1. 
Choosing what to do on the first evening will lead to encounters with different characters that night. And depending on your choices during Day 1, there's a secret scene you can unlock on each route 😉

Can't change MC's name.

Oh no, I thought we fixed that bug! T_T

Are you playing on the latest version (2.1.1)? Also, could you provide more details? Which platform are you using? Does it not let you input your preferred name or does it display the default name on the MC's name tag no matter what you type in?

Thank you so much, and sorry for the inconvenience!

We will try to replicate the bug on our side and figure out what is causing it!

I have to create a itchio account to comment for this game. The art and writing is really good, it make me curious about their reason behind action. I also love the interact between characters, Rajar and Zanas make me laugh a lot. I has already played 3 LI, all are interesting. I'm looking forward to the full version. Love u guys <3

Thank you for the comment. Rajar is indeed very sus, isn't he? We still have tons of surprises in store for this character, so who knows what he's really up to? Everybody's secrets will slowly be revealed as you play the game, so we hope you will enjoy discovering the true motivations behind their actions when the full version releases.
(Because not everyone in this comment section has played through the game yet, in future we'd appreciate if you please didn't mention spoilerish content.)

Fantastic artwork and design overall! I've been having fun with the demo, but finding it hard to pick a favorite (which is a good thing). Looking forward to seeing more! Well done!! :) <3

Thank you so much! ♥
Now I'm really curious to know who will be your favourite by the end of the story :D

Nice work on the demo, very interesting project overall. Do you have an email so we will be able to have a chat? Or maybe discord!

Hi! Thank you so much, it makes us really happy to hear that! Feel free to drop us a DM on any of our social channels (preferably Twitter) and we can take it from there, or alternatively you can leave us your contact details at the end of the survey and we will get back to you ♥

It seems like this is a sequel to your other game or at least takes place in the same universe. And I see information about two other games on your page. But three's no link or anything? Is that a future project or something? 

Hi! Thank you for your interest.

A Tale of The Eagle Sword (TotES) and its spin-off Blood of the Johden (BotJ) are the original comics drawn by our illustrator Moon. They are in the process of being rebooted and as such unavailable for reading at the current time (but we do have plans for both titles).

In Her Choice, TotES and BotJ are historical TV dramas, and the characters are the cast acting in them. While they do indeed take place in the same universe, the plots are unrelated, so please enjoy Her Choice without worries ^_^

I hope this answers your question!
