Thorn for the Villain~ Reincarnated as an Extra in an Otome Game?!
Truck-kun strikes yet again…!
-An office lady is reincarnated as Teresa von Ambrose, originally a spriteless extra character in the obscure otome game “Eternal Blessing of the Stars”, where most of the endings end up with Asmodia Kingdom in shambles one way or another...
Teresa: "That's me. I'm part of that shitty kingdom!!!"
Armed with knowledge of the game's future, Teresa decides to intervene and erase the event that triggered the beginning of the original story.
-But actions have consequences, and instead of the protagonist, Teresa finds herself drawing the attention of the villainous underground organization, Snare.
*Note: This game contains blood, violence, and character death. Also expect scenarios you would normally see in other isekai stories.

is Eternal Blesssing of The Stars completely made up by you or did you have a game inspo for it? If so what game(s)?
I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
I LOVE THISSS! Ok so had to redo cause I realized that those were questions to answer
I would probably choose Vicenzo's route first. My favorite scene might've been the one in the garden with Estella. Those two are so cute!!! Yes I would probably pay. The only thing holding me back is cost cause I'm a brokie ;v; Lastly, yes. I think they're fine the way they are.
Thank youuuuuu!!!!
I LOVE VICENZOOOOOOOOOO
i love the main guy's look and voice
im literally obsessed idk why but ive always been reminiscing about a story with a similar plot for days but YOU CLEAREDD this omg. I hope this game gets finished soon omg.
same I check in on this game every time im on itchio and I love vicenzo if thats how u spell it
this game will go down in history when its full version is released, similarly to that one cinderella game
wait, which cinderella game are you referring to?
I'm guessing Cinderella Phenomenon?
Hi! About the android build, thought youd like to know that it displays the wrong name,
The game loads fine, it's this game but for some reason the name is trapped with jester?
Also have a video but its too large to put here. Other than that the app works fine tho, the game is correct just the name is wrong for whatever reason 🙏
Yeah, I know about it, I'm not sure why it was like that. It's an experimental build just so Android players can access the game, so I've left it as is.
Me encanta como se va desarrollando la historia, tiene mucho potencial!! No puedo esperar a que esté terminada. Será uno de mis juegos favoritos, sin duda. Sigan así! <3
I rlly loved the story and characters. I NEED TO MARRY EDEL NOWWWW
I really wanna play this, thing is the keyboard won’t appear on my iPad and it’s really hard to read the text on phone (´༎ຶོρ༎ຶོ`)
I don't know about iPad, but have you tried enabling the dyslexic font toggle for mobile?
I'm OBSESSED with this, I hope it gets finished soon!
Wow, this was such a fun demo to play! Excited for when the full game comes out. As for the questions...
Q1: Most likely Vicenzo's route. His character appeals to my own personal preferences, (romantically.) and from what I've seen so far, I'm very curious about the rest of his presence in the game.
Q2: I loved when Vicenzo led the MC to the artifacts and whatnot underground. I'm the type of person to get really interested in a game's plot, and that scene felt like getting to eat a five-star meal after looking at a menu full of delicious options. (for lack of a better analogy.) I also really liked the romantic scenes with Vicenzo! They made me more interested in his overall character, as well as how the relationship between him and MC would progress.
Q3: I'm very excited for the game to be released, and will probably buy it when it does. Can't wait to see how it comes out!
Q4: Very much so. I think the best type of villain character is one that isn't outwardly abrasive or open about their true intentions. Sly and charming types of characters are some of my favourites, and I think you hit the nail on the head with how Vicenzo acts. As for Edel, I can definitely see his appeal. I would be excited to see how he acts more in the final game.
Comments: Great job on this! The dialogue was easily one of my favourite parts, along with the art style. I love the watercolour kind of look to everything, it's so pretty! Keep up the good work, and thank you for making it!
is there genuinely no way to live in the demo hello wtf 😭💔 now u got me invested...
as for questions! by looks alone, i thought i'd like edel more, but he kept sliming me out so now i prefer the count. i like his hair...and voice...
my favorite scene would probably be edel laughing after mc met up with him😭what can i say..
i don't see why not, im always happy to pay for things that intrigue me<3
yes. so much so that it started to annoy me, i was getting frustrated trying to find options where mc doesn't die💔i could've tried more, but i honestly just gave up.. (apologies if i missed anything) but i much prefer this then tropes where you download/read/watch something FOR the villain(s) and they just turn out to be sweet and misunderstood... here, atleast the title doesn't lie.
I just want to say I ADORE ur art style 🥹 I have been a fan of your "Trapped with Jester" game for a long long time!! I wish I could donate but sadly I'm broke :((
lmk when full game is out twin
Hello! I wanted to tell you that I really like the game, but sometimes I had difficulty reading the text, also because I am short-sighted and also because the text is clear, similar to the background. If you answer my comment thank you for your availability I hope you will take a look at it. </3
Have you tried the dyslexic font option?
Oh... I don't even notice it. Really sorry for bothering you. Also because my English is really poor. Thank you very much for answering me. I solved the problem! ♥️
Don't worry about it! Feedback like these help improve the game ♥️
I just hope the dyslexic font is good enough!
i cant get enough of this!!! trying to find other people who like this is like trying to find your soulmate... IMPOSSIBLE.
and lastly -roughly how long do you think it would take to finish one route?
Q1. id pick the same as everyone else... Vicenzo because Edel feels like the type of guy that you'd struggle to get a good ending with
Q2. my favourite part (LOWKEYYYYYY) is when the engagement gets brought up. the brother is funny
Q3. guess.
Q4. obvs... once there's more content, ill probably be able to solidify my opinion... nyhehehe!
one day I WILL see more content of this.
Common route so far is estimated to be around 4~6 hours, and I'd like to match that with the character routes.
thank youu!!!
i cant wait until the game finishes - I WILL BE RUNNING TO PLAY ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡
I was depressed it just ended there. crying rn. was so good ToT
hi! I’m a bit new to itch so sorry if this is a silly question, but are you able to/will the special dialogue buyable thingy ever restock?
I also have another question, how much is the game going to be when it’s finished?
Thank you for the interest! Unfortunately, the special dialogue won't be restocked anymore. As of now, the only way to obtain it is through the special portrait tier.
As for full price, that is still tentative, however, I did state in the FAQs that the price will be $9.69, so I'll try to do the initial release within that price range one way or another, but definitely not less than the not-so-early bird tier.
Is there a time we can expect a new update/part of the game? I've been really excited for a few months and I can't waitttt (but take your time lmao)
No exact date yet, but for any WIP update, only those who qualify for beta access will be able to try it out, and for the rest- it will probably be the full release.
Right now, I do have a new chapter or two that hasn't been released even to beta access, but it's not yet ready (incomplete assets, placeholders, incomplete branches, etc.).
I always announce major updates though, but I haven't had any for a long time due to personal family circumstances >_<
alrighty take your time we'll be patiently waiting for the next updates🙈🙈🙈❤️❤️❤️
Is there a Spanish translation?
Unfortunately, no. Localization is very costly🥲
THIS EVERYTHING I WANTED i read stories like this all the time but a game with the same concept AHHH IM OBESSED
I'm actually so in love with this game! It took me maybe 4+ hours since I was trying to go through every option, but it was totally worth it! I was utterly shocked when I died T-T, but I think I got the cliffhanger later on after backtracking everything. Btw, I created a whole account just to share my thoughts ^^ AND I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE ART STYLE!!
Aww thank you!
genuinely fell to my knees when i saw that the release date is 2026 now omg </3
On the web version, I keep getting stuck on the "Her name is... Teresa" dialogue :( no clue how to get past this, nothing in the menu is helping
Have you tried enter key?
I didn't </3 enter worked, thank you!! :]
should i get the early beta access? is it worth it??
Well, it's up to you!
If you can't wait for more content, then go for it, but if you'd prefer to play the game blind, then better to wait for the full release. Beta access will keep updating (updates take long though, as I work alone) until full game, but it may also have unfinished/placeholder assets.
I'll only close the rewards once the game is near completion, and I'll be sure to announce it, so you can also wait it out.
(Beta access also includes your name in the credits and earlier access for the full release.)
you're right! thank you! i might get the early access whenever im not poor ahaha.
Está en español?
Unfortunately, no. Pre-Odyssey has a Spanish version in development though!
Hi Anta!
We’re reaching out from Otome.com, we’ve admired your work for a long time and have been wanting to contact you, but couldn’t find a reliable way to do so, so we’re trying here instead. (We tried emailing tho ._.)
Would you be interested in collaborating with us on our website and podcast?
Oh, hi! I'm usually available to contact on Twitter! (@antares252)
Тhanks so much for replying! 💕
Twitter isn’t a great option for us for keeping track of communication long-term. Would it be possible to reach you via an email you’re active on, or maybe Discord?
Hi, yes and thankyou, i tried to download and play the apk version. when i picked the first "pick an option" (the "i.." - 'Love you' or '...') the screen showed an error that said "an exception has occurred", when i tried to rollback, it keeps crashin' here's the screenshot.
Idk if someone already report it or not, but this is what happens to me. Hope that i don't waist anyone's time. Thanks again!
Absolute cinema 👐
amazzzing
papa.. me want more movie ..... THIS GAME IS SOOOOOOOOOO PEAK
I love the game!!!!!!i can't wait to play the new part!!!please put it on the steam!!! it is so sad to find itch don't have a way that i can pay .and i find the author of the game is the one of my favourite games!!!!it is so surprised!!!!!!i also want to see dlc of jester ！！！pleased!!!!please!!!!! if you finish the game ,please put it on the steam that i can buy it!!!!please!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry I'm only replying now! Apparently this comment had to be approved (and a whole bunch of others-) and I've only learned about it today...
As for payment method/s, I'm also accepting payments through Ko-fi.
I can't guarantee a Steam release, though I did mention it in the FAQs.
I created an account just to comment!! I love this!!! I have always wanted to play the part of reincarnated villainess with plot!! But didn't find anything satisfying my interests... But this yes absolute yes for me! Eagerly waiting! Oh yes I tried the mobile version and it worked perfectly well! Love the inner monologue and expressions of the mc!
YOOOO MY FIRST TRY EDEL DIDNT KILL ME LESGO??
The demo is so good! Love it so much.
Wait how do you get the Edel and Vicenzo endings? I only found the route where oc is killed😭.
I'm sorry this is 5 months late... I've only learned that there were comments that required approval-
But to answer that, this is still just a demo, so the rest of the game (their endings) is still in development!
Do you have a discord server with all potential update info? if not that's totally fine. I just finished the demo and I'm OBSESSED
I'm sorry this is 5 months late... I've only learned that there were comments that required approval-
I don't have a Discord server at the moment, but I do post updates on my Twitter(@antares252), Tumblr(@antagames) or Bsky(@antares252) accounts. Mainly Twitter.
I also post bi-monthly devlog updates which I've paused due to personal circumstances, but I do hope to resume those update logs soon!
really good
