Oh my god. I bought this game not prepared to experience how good it rlly is!!! Cried during the true end :'). Excited for the sequel!
is this game completed?
yes
Hii I really do love this game so much all the personality and all of the chars are very beatifully written . May I know is the character in the sequel still gonna have the previous char to be romanced of?
Is also a shame we can't get the 3 months later ending after the true ending which add the cherry on top without getting that "ending" T_T
previous characters might be shown but the previous dateable wont be dateable in the sequel
Some past shown character will become dateable though
Aww.. another question, so in the sequel the romance from the previous games won't get carry over then?
no as it is a different mc
I see, thank you for the information!
no problem hope it helped clear out ur curiosity ^ ^
After an eternity I finally got the game and !!! bark bark bark it's awesome. I'm still playing with the decisions tree because a girl needs to see every possible outcome and dialogue there is <3 (I did the mistake of closing the game and wrecking the skip option, which sucks, but.)
I really like it. Lots lots of dialogue branches and great personalities. Also the lore! The doodled map! The teachers! The second-hand gossip! Fia being actually cool and interesting and a tad not right in the head!
Great overall. Would like more.
This game is an absolute gem, it has a really rich and enjoyable world and characters. Thank you
Okay, played the game. I still cannot get over the fact how amazing it is and I cannot praise it enough. The only thing that bothers me a lil bit is that when I choose "male" MC it just seems like they have a lot more content than the other body type. The longer prologue with cool asf priest outfit and later Quill telling us their plan with it and even the additional art when he's pulling us up the stairs. Idk man, it just make's me lil disappointed, but I can only imagine that making this game alone was hard enough. Right now the only thing I can do is support patreon and buy every dlc/content possible and hoping it will get better in the sequel.
It´s and amazing vn but the one think i dislike is that the male mc has way moreee images than the female mc ):
The art is soo good! the art style is one of the prettiest I have everseen
Helloo author!! May i ask how to heal Thane with the blood thingy without fia and mc bonding with him???
Anyways, THE GAME IS QUITE ENJOYABLE AND ENTERTAINING!!! I LOVE THE CGS AND THE MULTIPLE BRANCHES IT HAS not like other games where it has little route heh✨
please refer to the guide here :)

God bless Steam for the VN fest, or it would have slipped my attention
Quite the particular game in a charming way, the execution is sooo good, everything just flows together nicely
With that said, seeing as sequel is in the works, are there any chances of a female LI/lesbian content? Or is there no interest in writing that kind of stuff
Looking forward to it either way, please keep it up
unfortunately (in the words of my former editor n work place) I have no talents in writing a likeable female LIs so no plans for that even in the sequel
That's just rude TT
But there's a lot to be said for sticking to your strengths, as the evidence suggests
So please keep up the good work
is there any major difference between this version and the steam version?
none
Wow, this was such a good VN, I think I'm on my 5th run now :') Are you planning to add voiceovers for the characters by any chance? Maybe a future DLC? That would be so good
there will be a sequel !
A win for the gays, guys. We won.
Quill Inkwell is so funny I'm gonna try this
help i flipped arshem off in the beginning because i thought it’d be funny, and then discovering he was my ex… ahahaha oh my god that must’ve hurt
Please make a discord i would love to join to be up to date with ur other games
Also are u planning on making another game or a sequel? Feels bad leaving them behind
Yes, there is a sequel in the works please look at my announcement, here : https://ceylonentertainment.itch.io/bewitching-sinners-visual-novel/devlog/88710...
that being said, I can't promise a happy ending either lool
Is there something specific I need to do to bring Arshem in my world idk what i did wrong :/ Like we got our dates n we smashed but this dude didnt even get emotional when I left... ALONE?? idk :(
hmm did you experience the date where he told you he was going to your world? The one where you convene in the angel statues?
I just did it again and got it thank you ;_;
I was curious what game engine this uses? Looking into making a visual novel that has more than just dialogue choices and so was looking into some of the games I liked more for their features (like this one)
i use renpy, generally renpy can be whatever u want even add rpg elements as long as u understand Python
So im a gal in her early 30s and have not picked up very many story driven games since like DMMD was popular over 10 years ago. That had always been my favorite since I normally favor BL stories.
Well shoot.. I've been playing since last night and this is now my new favorite.
The cutscenes are amazing. I'm so glad i picked the male version and bought the Harlots DLC. Let me tell you.... The dlc is so spicy and worth it. My first route is with Arshem but I plan to play through them all. Arshem's story is so sweet. I think I may go with Thane next since.. well you know.... vampires are hot.
My only issue with this game is that I don't have a friend to talk to them about this game! I dont think my husband would particularly love hearing me rave about a BL game haha!
I'm wilding out. To keep this as spoiler-free as possible, I went into this game completely blind and I had an itch in the back of my skull right after the main goal was accomplished, but that "default" ending still slapped me across the face. The (?) was a particularly fun touch - excellently done. I'm incredibly curious about the alternative ones the guide mentioned now.
I know they're not usually what folks come for in dating sims, but the plot and worldbuilding were delicious and certain villain(s) have a talent for making you feel sympathetic to their situation. If I had any thoughts, I might have appreciated content warnings for some of the uh. Particulars of the villain's backstory before getting into the game, but I think that's my main concern.
Thank you for the meal! I hope you'll share more of your work in the future. : >
im gonna cry, i played this years back and had the ending with the fuck for life dude strangled me to death because i found out and i tried the game again and it ended the same way, is there only one ending?
are you sure you bought the whole game and not just played the demo? There isn’t a ending where quill chokes you in the whole game and the game has only been finished in april 2024 so less than a year
oh, oops! :)
Crying in the club bc I am just a little guy and the damn octopus won't GET ON MY LINE bro ;,,,,,^}}}
Still in love with this game!! If you're a player reading this, I am using my mind powers to make you buy the dlc and leave a little tip for Miss Xero xoxox <333
Sorry to ask, but when is the next sale. I missed the last one by a day :(
i legally cannot disclose that but my sales coincide with major seasonal steam sales > < spring sales, sumemr sales etc
got it thx <3
There's a sale right now if you hadn't seen it yet
Assuming you go through a branch where Thane licked Fia’s bloody arm, basically you choose should we go after him and leave her with quill then choose near the pubs
Thank you so much!
I commented a couple of weeks ago on the DLC page, bemoaning the fact that I couldn't get the game to launch. After some time troubleshooting, I finally got everything to work, and I am so happy I did! This game is stunning, with so many fun and engaging features. I love every LI, and I've played through every route. I've read some of your other updates, and I'm excited that there's another DLC and a sequel game in the works! I hope some of these same characters will be revisited, but even if they aren't, I can't wait to see what else is in store for this universe. Thank you for a wonderful game, it was worth every penny <3
So is it normal for the female protag to skip most of the introduction while the male gets all of it? Or is that an error...? Edit: i see that this is disappointingly purposeful. I do wish there'd been atleast a written introduction because parts of that were incredibly important to setting up the game. I'm just kinda lucky I chose to play as male first to see it all.
Oh, what the heck? Thanks for the heads up. What was the reason for skipping it in the lady route?
basically lost all files before finishing the female one, too sick and frustrated to do that all again
Oof, I've lost files for projects MUCH smaller than a game like this and cried for a week 😅 so I can empathize with not wanting to have to do it all over again. If the routes are otherwise the same, then I'll just start a male route and switch to a female one once I've seen the extra stuff. No harm, no foul!
it seems that it was in the demo before for the female the full intro seemed to have been in their sadly i wish those files had just been added into the game lol i loved the female mc black dress TWT
hello i hope someone can help with this, i just bought a shiny new steam deck and i was wondering if there was a way to play the game i bought on itch with it or if i have to suck it up and buy it again.
Could someone please help me out with getting all the cgs in this game? Or is there a discord for that? Following the guide, I got all the endings, completed all the side quests, romanced all characters, tried completing game with both kindness and honesty raised and separately with mostly kindness. I might get more replies on steam but I felt more comfortable asking here.
The cgs I'm missing are next:
-page 2, third row, third picture from the left side (mirror)
-page
56, first row, last picture from the left (Quill), second row, first picture is connected to it-page 10, fourth row, first three pictures from the left
On a side note, to dear Miss Xero:
I really liked the game, especially the chaotic thrio (Arshem, Quill, and Thane). The effort and love put in the game is amazing. Thank you Miss Xero. I also read about your circumstances that lead to this game and I think you're a wonderful person and I think both your circumstances, life experiences, bits of yourself and your growth as a person could be felt in the game which made it all the more special.
this seems SO GOOD. adding it to my list xxx
Hi Miss Xero!
First off I LOVED THIS GAME!!!! This was one of my first PC games to play and I WAS BLOWN AWAY!!! Also addicted now! I loved the game, the storyline, and above all the characters! I did have a few questions for you too! I ended up spending the last 3 days going through all the endings and routes for each to get the full story and I loved the time and effort put into them!!
I was wondering if you were going to do a spin-off to the story involving these characters, and if there will be more of the spicy scenes?
MINOR SPOILER
Also, there was a part in the storyline when the MC meets Ivar a second time while he's bathing he sorta hints that they would have a spicy moment. So I was wondering if you were to make a route for him? Also if you do a spin off for Irwin's story for the vamps would Thane be included?
Another do you plan on making merch because I need and want them all!!!
Second to last question is would I get permission in the future to get a tattoo of the characters using your artwork?
Lastly, I know you're working on a new story is it going to contain more of the good spicy drawings too?
I plan on supporting my addiction through your pateron to hold me over till the next game comes out XD
Thank you for this great game!! I cant wait to see more!!!
First off thanks so much for the kind comment, Im so happy to hear you enjoyed the game ^ ^
As for your questions
I plan to make another DLC in 2025 which provides a route for Ivar, the MC dating OG Palmier, and Dietrich (besically all the blondes lol) and that DLC will also reveal more on Seth’s relevance and the witches fate
For the spinoff Bewitching Sinners Royal Blood, I will focus on the Vortec Empire and consequences of the MC but Thane will probably not be involved in that plot though you may see him in my Rumor Has It project
For merch, I have no plans as of now as I am only one woman and focus on getting my works done first
For the tattoo, please feel free to do so if you wish
And for your last question, I plan to release spicy content in my patreon only in the future so yes but prioritize on ginishing the vanilla version of RHI first and adjust my plans and timeline once that is done !
If you do become a patron, please feel free to hit me up on the discord and ask me anything! ^ v ^. Thx for your support and enthusiasm!
Thank you for replying! I'm so excited to see what you have planned next. I cannot wait to see all the new routes, too! Thank you for putting in the time and effort to make such a great game!! <3
I’m glad I read this comment because I was about to ask if you were ever planning to make Ivar someone the Mc can date. His story is very sad and what happened to him is horrible and a bit triggering. I’ve seen some of the game but would like to be able to play it.
what would yall say the playtime is?
about 8-10 hours for an ending
Hello ! Just a quick message to say, your game was really amazing, i love everything from it ! I've devoured it in on go, and did all the route ! I had so much fun and got attached to the characters. The DLC was sweet to the eyes (ivar omg, wasn't excepted this ahah), but sometimes it feels "odd" like nothing happened the day after (looking at you quill).
Otherwise, I really enjoyed it. And i'm eager to see what you are doing next :)
Cheers!
WOW
JUST WOW
This is insanly good. The story, the lore, the characters, the art. It's all works together so well.
I was blown away by this game and DLC.
And romance is out of this world. Thane blew me away. I did his rout last just to see the pictures. I expected nothing... Thane making a conscious choice to be your love and happiness because he wants to... Not because of past friendships and relationship do over... Thane is goals
Thank you so much for creating this masterpiece!
Hi, i love your game and plan to buy when i have the money, financial issues, but i want to know if you plan, maybe some day, to put the DLC on steam, i can only buy there for now and i really want to play it, just to know, dont fell forced to answer if you fell uncomfortable :)
no worries i can only post the second dlc on steam tho as the the harlots dlc is mature
When will ya put DLC to Steam? At the moment, i can only make payments through Steam, while i really wanna try it. Btw, i luv your game <3
I will onlt post the second dlc to steam due to harlots dlc not being elligible on steam due to its rating
Oh i forget that you better play as a guy because there are lines missing and its better written in the nsfw scenes -'.- dont wanne be a guuuuuy
This is an absolutely great game. All the characters are written so well and the art is so pretty. I was wondering if there are any plans for an art or lore book since I really liked the world building featured and it was interesting reading about all the different factions. I also really wanna know what happens to Irwin and more about the vampires. Of course looking forward to any future work of yours :)
currently no to artbook but I do plan to make a sequel one day regarding the Vortec Empire after Bewitching Sinners events of Palmier killing all the witches and basically destroying their world’s power dynamic
god that would be funny as hell
"ah fuck this kid demolished our social hierarchy by eliminating an entire race, what do we do now?"
Hi would you like to take instructions for the novice game play inthowsus?
Can you post a guide, please? Getting the same ending :[
thanks!
check here or the html guide in the download files https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3235637088
THANK YOU!
I don't know if this is an error or not, but I downloaded the latest BS patch and Harlots DLC, all of the artwork is available in gallery, even for fem MC who I had no intention of playing as. The skip button also skips over unseen script (not sure if it's supposed to or not, with other VN it doesn't)
for the skip try togglingg off the unseen text option if it is on, for the Cg it is opened as previously there was an update that caused the gallery to be blank despite having opened them so it is let open
Ok! Thank you
you’re welcome!
