  • The game was so amazing, I loved all the CGs and sprites! The story and the mystery were super intriguing, I really appreciate the difference between the endings, even the angst was super touching.

  • The anime art style is superb. I don't know why but this reminds me of The Letter by Yangyang Mobile especially the music.

About Quill Yuri

Boilerplate
Quill Yuri shares cathartic yuri stories with the world, one game at a time 🌈

Background: Quill Yuri is a branch of Quill Studios, based in Canada. Quill Studios and Quill Yuri are founded by Susan, aka "Quilly". Quill Studios has since released 2 commercial games, "A Summer with the Shiba Inu", and "Death Becomes You". Due to the differences in style and theme, Quill Yuri was spun out to focus on games featuring anime-style art and (human) characters. Quill Studios continues to develop on the "Shiba Inu" series which feature dogs as protagonists.
