Love in a Bottle is an ecchi yuri dating sim being developed by lovelandisle and will be releasing this year, being published by us at Studio Élan through our Bellhouse wing. With The Storyteller's Festival going on right now, it's a great time to give an update on the progress of the game.

All of the CGs are finished as well as some sprite revamps! As the game has been in development for a few years, lovelandisle wanted to touch up some of the artwork. Here's an example with the love interest Clymene.

lovelandisle has also been releasing artist commentaries on her process for making the CGs on our Patreon[www.patreon.com]. Currently there's 2 up to read right now, with the 1st one[www.patreon.com] being free for everyone!

There's also been a lot of progress on the first part of the game that'll be part of the demo. So much so that we'll be releasing the first demo for Love in a Bottle on February 5th as part of the Steam Next Fest! We've shared a few screenshots from this demo section in our Discord[discord.gg] and social media, but here's a few more.

Now, onto the biggest news...

Love in a Bottle is a pretty ambitious game with 4 love interests, a town to explore via point-and-click, a lot of outfits & hairstyles for Ankora, and more. We want to make sure the game is as polished as it can be before releasing and ensuring that no one working on it crunches, so we'll be delaying Love in a Bottle by a month and a half, with the new release date being April 2nd, 2024. No, this isn't a delayed April Fools joke.

Although we're sad to have to delay it, we hope the demo coming out next week will be great so please look forward to that!
