【Full-Voice Demo Live for 1 Week Only! (Round 1)】
To celebrate our participation in the Steam event "Nonbinary Coded Games," the full-voice demo is back for a limited period until July 20!
- A yandere guy who is completely devoid of sexual desire or lust!
- A protagonist who doesn't have to be a "good girl"!
- Fully animated character customization using Live2D!
- Selectable or customizable first-person pronouns! (Japanese language only)
- Only the protagonist can initiate physical advances! (And of course, you don't have to!)
Please enjoy this bizarre, yet strangely tender (?) Otome game, brought to life with full Live2D animation and immersive stereophonic audio full-voice acting!

【Participating in "Nonbinary Coded Games"!】
Timed with International Non-Binary People's Day on July 14, "Nonbinary Coded Games" is a sale event highlighting titles created by gender non-conforming developers or featuring non-binary characters.
While I prefer not to dive too deeply into my own gender identity, I decided to participate because I was truly touched and overjoyed to see non-binary players genuinely enjoy the demo!
To avoid any confusion, please note that the romantic interest, the limb-severing devil, identifies as male and is not non-binary himself.
On a different note, the expression and definition of "Otome games" have sparked multiple controversies and online backlashes on Japanese social media this year.
Some of you might feel anxious or concerned about the thematic execution of this title.
Please rest assured that I am carefully designing "Severed Love" to avoid elements like BL (Boys' Love) that could disrupt the core experience expected of an Otome game.
My goal is to respect and value traditional Otome game lovers while still pursuing the new kind of Otome game I envision.
For instance, the design choice where "the love interest never forces physical or sexual advances on you" isn't because I simply wanted to exclude sexual themes as unwanted noise. It stems from the fact that I, as a developer, am personally uncomfortable with sexual expressions from men, and wanted to create an Otome game that gently aligns with and supports that personal boundary.
Across every possible timeline and spin-off universe, the only person the limb-severing devil truly loves from the bottom of his heart is "Patty."
While there is no conventional happy ending in the main story, depending on your choices, you might be able to build a completely new kind of relationship that differs from the "Patty" of the past.
That "new relationship" will not involve being heavily coddled or physically desired, nor will it be a sparkling youth romance. Instead, it will be a story-focused, dry, and decadent bond.
If I can create a game that deeply resonates with my own core, and add just a tiny bit of diversity to the world of Otome games, I will be absolutely fulfilled!
