Press Release: Tale of the Golden Lilly

---

Today, July 26, 2026, I released my first actual visual novels!

Backstory

In 2022, I was experimenting a lot with Gmod maps, I really like messing around in Hammer. I was trying to make the Sonozaki Estate in Gmod, but those Breaking Bad K-On memes crossed my mind, and I got sidetrakced making lore for a meme. Eventually, the lore grew to actually have great moments, which is why I desired to release it publicly at some point.

In 2023, I began making a mock concept depicting the story of Tale of the Golden Lilly. I never intended to finish it, and it was meant to be a temporary thing. Considering where we are now, everyone knows how well that went.

The original plan for Tale of the Golden Lilly involved 6 chapters and at least 3 endings. The public release only includes Chapters 1-4.

After the founding of Loneliness Reverie, I made a series of massive decisions regarding what stories I wanted to tell, and of the fate of TGL, which was almost done at the time.

Yes, Tale of the Golden Lilly was left incomplete as of June 2025; it was specifically missing Chapter 6 and the various endings. (Chapter 5 was omitted for suspense reasons, but was finished early, back in mid to late 2023)

From December 2025 to January 2026, I racked my brain on how to get TGL released, and I eventually came up with something. I planned the July 26 release as early as January. Needless to say, I should probably stop procrastinating!

The Future of TGL

Will Chapter 6 and the endings be finished? Yes. When? That is the question I'm still unsure of. I hope to actually finish Tale of the Golden Lilly, and substitute the game's censored/omitted parts with actual content in the near future, but I'm more focused on my current visual novels: Gray White Black, and the fanfiction Mitakihara Anomaly.

Loneliness Reverie Status Update

Speaking of...

Gray White Black is currently about to undergo its first private playtest. The general story beats have already been conceptualized, and I'm currently beginning the process of actually writing the story. Some of the music has already been made, though is tentative. Character designs concepts are about halfway done.

Mitakihara Anomaly is about 50% done and almost entirely written, but truth be told, I've just been sort of lazy with this one. I aim to get this one out before the end of 2026.

The third unnamed visual novel I teased a long time ago is part of the TGL series. I do plan to release that one down the line in the distant future, but only after I fixed the mess I made with the original TGL series entries. That is all I can say about this visual novel for now.
The visual novel that I had "shelved" a while back is still shelved. I had difficulties developing the story of that one, which is why it got shelved.
