Thank you very much for your interest in our game! Our villainess main character, Jane, actually has a fixed background and racial identity (she is of mixed Asian and white background) that is relevant to the plot later in the game. You will have other ways to customize your identity as part of the game however! ;)
Handsome characters! great story! I really love them all OMG I signed in here just for you guys please keep it up we are so excited! Also, I don't know if I can play this game on the phone? I really hope so anyway Thank you guys!💞
I'm so sorry but our game is not available on the phone. We are excited to have you playtest our Windows, Mac, or Linux builds though. Feel free to contact me at contact @ bestlaidplans . net if you need further support!
I have been WAITING for an otome game with this premise omg, the idea of the two different modes is very intriguing and I cannot wait for my socially hopeless self to die over and over again. I usually am scared of bad endings but am guessing that, with so many of them, they won't be too heavy to go through. I feel that with villainess isekai stories, a lot of the fun comes from remembering the plot and finding ways to alter the story in our favor, having that foresight and being one step ahead, but our MC has amnesia and don’t know much. Either way I look forward to how the team makes this work as a game! Thank you for starting this project, I can barely wait for it!
I'm so thrilled to know that you're intrigued by our game and I really hope you will test the beta with us! We really had a lot of fun putting together an otome isekai story where the one big "cheat" a protag has - their knowledge of the story - is yanked away from them.
Trust me when I say the game is going to be a WILD RIDE with a lot of fun reveals by the end of every route... and the bad endings will be pretty amazing. They're all like mini-movies in and of themselves and all worth exploring!
We very much wanted to be a kind of playable villainess manwha/manga with MANY twists that come from being in an interactive medium where YOU get to decide the villainesses fate. I really hope you enjoy our beta demo! <3
I'm so glad you finally get to play an isekai manwha, hahaha. We absolutely wanted Save the Villainess to look and feel like a playable manwha so that's a compliment of the highest order!
And yes, we are working on our Steam page right now! Steam will take some time to review it but we are excited to hopefully launch it later this month. We even have some special new surprises arriving with the Steam page...
We are so glad to hear how excited you are for this game. We hope you will playtest with us this January - we promise that there are LOTS of exciting secrets in our demo to uncover. ;)
I'm so glad you're excited about our game - it is sooo pretty when you play it! Gifs honestly do not do the animations justice. XD
Yes, we are working to get our page on Steam up! I am excited to link you to it when it goes live. We're working on a brand new trailer and gifs but it will go up soon...
Thank you so much - we are so grateful for your support. Every wishlist supports our game by making it more likely to be shown to other players on Steam itself, which is HUGE to a tiny little indie team like ours! <3
Thank you so much! I truly hope that you enjoy solving the many mysteries of our game. We have MANY fun riddles and puzzles waiting for you, ESPECIALLY if you turn on Detective Mode and disable all the in-game help!
Thank you so much for the HYPE! We are so excited to share the game with you... and see you react to all the surprises we are CAREFULLY keeping from public view. ;)
I'm loving the character designs and the detective mode option! 30+ bad endings over 10 good endings sounds especially fun hahaha. Thanks for all the hard work that has been put in so far - I'm so excited to do the beta test in January!
We are so excited to test with you and show off both our beautiful characters (courtesy of the amazing Somate Studio) and the many options of our game! In our demo alone, we actually have a really interesting logic puzzle + bad ending to explore... as well over a dozen other decisions to make.
Plus, each decision you make has its own unique dialogue - sometimes as much as a dozen unique lines!
I am so excited to share more with you this January. <3
I'm obsessed with this villainess story, and i cannot wait for the whole game to finish😭. This is the type of game that I've been waiting for 💘💘 good luck guys 👏👏
We are deeply grateful that you are so excited for our game. We cannot wait to test with you this January - trust me, there is so many more surprises we have still been hiding! ;)
Thank you so much for signing up! We cannot wait to see how you react to some of the very "special" moments in our game that we have carefully hidden away from social media. ;)
Thank you so much! We had the amazing opportunity to work with great artists to make the game - and honestly, the art shines even more when you play the game and see it in full high-definition detail. We can't wait to see what you think of it when you play the game!
Ooof!!! I love this kind of Visual Novel with a whole lotta twists! I am so excited! I know you guys poured your heart and soul into this! Congratulations in advance! 💖
I am so excited to see you immerse yourself in the twists and turns of this game... we are DELIBERATELY not spoiling all the fun parts of the demo. There are some moments in the demo that made our very early demo testers gasp in shock and we don't want to ruin those surprises. We can't wait to see how people react to them though...
Thank you so much for your kind comment! We have spent... more hours than we want to count, haha, working on this game. We truly hope you will enjoy it when the beta demo comes out soon! <3
I'm always amazed each time I get a deeper understanding of how big this project is and how many options and customizations it involves. You guys are doing a TREMENDOUS (in a great way ofc) job, and being such a small team makes it even more incredible ;v; I'll gladly support you and cheer for you until the very end (and even after the game is released obviously)! Thanks for your hard work and your love for this genre and your proeject <3
Thank you so much for your kind words! We truly appreciate it and look forward to showing you all the customization options and quality of life features in our beta demo when we test with you soon!
Our demo already has a fully operational chapter system, save/load system, skip & back functions, love menu, variable story/detective difficulty modes, over a dozen romantic and other choices, AND a starting puzzle. The full game will have all those systems AND even more puzzles/detective/affection gameplay to explore!
Look forward to the release of this game! There's a ton of content already even if the game hasn't released yet and each of the characters are very interesting.
I am also very interested with the Duke of the North. The way he speaks have a lot of nuance so much so I would love to see more of him.
I'm so glad to know that you're interested in our characters already! Emily and I love each one (even the so far hidden ones...) and we are so excited to showcase them to you further.
Who knows? You might even see unexpected character show up in the beta demo...
(Oh, and I'm so glad you enjoy Izel as well. His scene in the beta demo had our early testers GASPING! So excited to have you meet him!)
Been super excited for this game since the news of its creation! Reincarnated Villainess genre is my jam so when i see a game of the same genre you know Ill be playing that. Extra bonus is the beta test demo comes out on my birthday month☺️
Happy upcoming birthday! I am so glad the beta demo can be our present to you. <3
And yes, we over at Best Laid Plans are huuuge villainess fans and we really are excited to put our own spin on the genre. After all, if almost all villainesses at least can benefit from their knowledge of the story...
...isn't it fun to think of what happens if one CANNOT? ;)
I am all kinds of hyped for this game. The art is gorgeous, the writing I've seen so far is great (including the characters' terrible, terrible jokes- actually do yourself a favour and watch them on YT), and the story sounds really interesting! So looking forward to the beta!
I'm so glad you're enjoying what you have seen so far of the game - and I am thrilled to test the beta demo with you soon! I'm so happy you enjoy the youtube videos of our characters as well - they are genuinely such a joy to write and hopefully, to play as well!
I signed up for the beta test and have been patiently awaiting the demo. The art is gorgeous and the developers are really on the ball with updates and interacting with their community. I truly believe it will be a game worth playing!
Thank you so much for your patience and for that kind compliment about us keeping you updated! <3 We really do try to be as clear and transparent as possible about our game progress... in fact, sometimes we have to really cut DOWN on details about updates so the mailing list newsletters aren't 10 pages long and crammed full of coding details. XD
We truly appreciate your support and cannot wait to test with you soon! <3
I've been already very hyped about the game since hearing about it months ago and don't regret it for a second to signed up as a beta-tester^^ Let's see if my witts from all the detective novels will finally come in handy XD
We're so thrilled you signed up to beta-test our demo and we are excited to see you match your wits against the determined assassin set out to destroy our villainess. We can't wait to see you overcome all the obstacles in your path! ;)
I had the wonderful opportunity to play the demo on call with Tanya and Emily, and I can only say amazing things about all three! The game is fantastic, and incredibly fun, and I want nothing more than to get my grubby hands on the full thing! ;-; The characters are all so, so silly and entertaining - No flat, lackluster characters to be found, here!! I started following the game for the beautiful romantic leads (with an emphasis on my beloved Izel, of course o.-), but I fell in love with Jane TOO QUICKLY! She's so silly and amazing, and a main character worth your attention and love just the same as the male leads! This game really does have it all: an amazing cast, beautifully crafted backgrounds, hilarious dialogue, and the BEST! two-woman crew behind it all. I would 100% suggest giving the demo a shot. There is so obviously SO much love poured into this game, and I think so many people will love it in return. Can't wait for the official demo, so I can spend hours (re)playing it and staring unabashedly at our Duke of the North. ♡
Thank you so much for playing with us over stream for an early review of the beta demo! Not only did you help us catch a few minor issues before the beta demo was sent out... you really made us believe that the game we are creating is something our future players will enjoy. <3
We truly appreciate your support from the bottom of our hearts and are so happy you enjoyed our characters, as eccentric and hilarious and menacing as they can be. Your love for Jane is especially wonderful - after all, what's a villainess story without a villainess you can root for? ;)
Thank you so much for all your support - it means so much to us! <3
Thank you so much! We are truly grateful for your support and are so excited to have you stream the demo once it goes public. We've never had anyone stream our work before and we're so excited by the possibility!
I've been stalking this game quietly in the background and now after watching the videos and reading the updates, I'm so ready for this beautifully done piece.
I'm so happy you're ready for our beta demo! It is coming out so so so soon... we really just need to give it one last review and package it up so that it is ready for a wide range of computers. I can't wait to know what you will think of it soon. <3
We're so glad you enjoy the look of the game so much! We had the great luck to work with a huge group of incredibly talented artists like Somate Studio and Saleha Chowdhury to co-create the look of this game. It is honestly even more stunning when you play it, since I don't think screencaps OR videos can capture the full high-def beauty of the game. I can't wait to test it with you!
Thank you so much! We are SO excited to test the beta demo with you soon... it is really action-packed and we can't wait to see your reactions once you get to see our, erm, "interesting" cast in action. ;)
So excited for this game. Love the decision to have Story Mode and Detective Mode, the Common Route skip (thank you for quality of life features), and the fact MC can thrive as a single woman. I came here for a romance game but I also love reincarnated-as-villainess stories and representation of people who are single and happy or even straight-up aromantic! And thank you for the skip for spicy scenes—it lets people who like that see it, while still leaving the game accessible for people who find certain sexual things triggering (or just flat-out boring).
I'm so glad you enjoy the many quality of life features in Save the Villainess, as well as the many different endings our villainess can have!
As people who have played a LOT of very long visual novels, we knew we absolutely wanted to have a chapter system (as well as a normal save/load system) in our game so that players did NOT have to sit through the ENTIRE COMMON ROUTE every time they wanted to start a new route. I think this will save MANY hours of tedium for people who want to experience every major route of the game. XD
And yes, we definitely are writing the game so that you can experience a variety of endings as a villainess! We do have some really intense (and spicy, if that's your thing) romantic scenes and endings to explore... but if you want, you can literally reject every romantic moment in the game and live your best single life. The single endings honestly are super cool and allow the villainess to do what she can't in the paired routes. I think all the endings are worth exploring!

Interesting! will it be possible to change the MC's skin colour by any chance? Best of luck with the game development!
