My Spring With You is a short extra featuring Erline, our favorite Guard Captain, and introducing Noraka to the cast of Her Choice's characters. While the game can be enjoyed as a stand-alone and doesn't touch on the main game's plot, it takes place only a few months before your arrival at the Totes Studio and includes many easter eggs we hope you will enjoy discovering!

It's a sweet, feel-good game, that touches on themes of gender identity, acceptance, and unconditional love. A typical playthrough takes around 10 minutes, so if you're looking for a short story to relax to during a coffee break, please check it out!

The game is made in collaboration with Tymedust (the developer of Poetry in Purgatory). If you enjoy the dialogue in this little game, I highly recommend playing his other games for more of that delicious writing.

In the desktop version, Erline is fully voiced by Jordan DeShong (which you might know as ReaperBabe Gaming). Jordan streams on Twitch and has a Youtube channel where she shares tons of indie otome and amare games, so do check it out. We're really happy and proud we had the opportunity to work with her in her first VN role!

This was such a cute game! Short and sweet. Although I haven't played the original game, I still mostly understood this one <3

I loved the attention to detail this game has, with even the background speaking to the type of character's they're. Now I'll get into spoilers, I would of preferred it if the endings wasn't determined by your choices in the very beginning but with it's length I can understand why you made that choice. 

Happy you liked the game! Thanks for playing :)

oh my god erline is the most beautiful woman i’ve ever seen, the way i was blushing the whole time i played, i really felt how i imagined noraka must when they’re together… and she’s so charming too! just a really lovely character, i love how silently astute she is, she’s very well-spoken and seems to know noraka well enough that she’s like an open book to erline, even if that might not be the case with noraka usually. and it was really nice to explore the subject matter you do too, it was really well-executed and i appreciated it being a facet of their conversation/relationship but not dominating the whole discussion, you cover a broad spectrum of topics between these two that what's really such a short experience feels so jam-packed!

speaking of, i’m totally sold on her choice now! this was a really nice little peek into this world and some of its characters, and the chemistry between these two is so palpably accessible that they make for a perfect “preview” to what i imagine her choice must be!

i’m excited to play more of ur guys’ work if it’s anything as perfectly polished an experience as this was! stunning art, wonderful writing, enjoyable characterization, u guys have it all! amazing job :- ) 💜

(ps, the way my heart shattered when erline called noraka “old friend” vs “sweet friend”… i should be liable for financial compensation honestly 💔)

Thank you so much!! <3 As a writer this was so cool to read, because I really did try to (sort of as a challenge I guess?!) to incorporate as much "content" as possible in so few words (in terms of the characters' backstory, world lore, and etc!). So this made me very happy!! Glad that you enjoyed it! :)

At last I made some time to play this game! I should start by saying that the art is delightful, the CG was absolutely gorgeous and I liked that the "camera" sometimes focused on the details, it truly led me to appreciate more of the character design (gorgeous!)

The story, too, was sweet! I can relate a bit to feeling like I'll screw up when someone's identity changes, and not wanting to seem disrespectful, so I immediatelly could kind of understand Noraka's struggle there. Seeing her so worried though makes me believe even more that she's trying her best and really cares, which is sweet. They seem to have history and a very sweet relationship that I'd love to know more about!

A delightful little story to be sure!

This was really enjoyable! From the art, to the writing, to the voice acting, to the music...just a very high quality experience overall. I like how there's so much depth hinted at in their relationship while also keeping it understandable for people who didn't play the main title, and I loved the theme of acceptance between Noraka and Erline. Fantastic work!

Hey! So, I played the game and it was as good as I hoped it'd be!

So, the TOPIC!!!! Congrats for having tackled this topic from this point of view: something about the fear of not treating a trans person the way they deserve to be; and that the answer is just "they are still the person you knew, because they've always been this person, they just look more like themself". I also loved how understanding Erline was and how this hasn't altered Noraka's feelings for her. I also loved the message about communication.

Now, I would also like to compliment the art, it was lovely! I loved the expressions! Also, kudos the the voice-acting, it was great too!!!

This really was a great game overall, thank you for this sweet spring-y moment!
