Kawaii-Chan and Bacon Monster : a Forbidden Love Story
NOTES ABOUT THE GAME AND THE WEB VERSION
Before reading the shitpost below, please notice that the game is NOISY and contains flashes and very bright colours. If you're of those this can trigger or unsettle, please refrain from playing the game.
For some reason, if a new pictural asset and a new track are generated at the same time, the web version won't play the track unless you rollback: for this reason, it is advised to play the web version if, and only if you can't download the game. I'd also add that the issue didn't happen on mobile devices.
Finally, lauching the web version might generate a Javascript error: I am alas no Javascript expert, but changing the browser often helps (I never had this issue on Firefox, but sometimes encountered it on Chrome).
SCENARIO
It's the story of Isaac and Elijah, who are dumb enough to date one month after meeting each other... Wait, no, wrong story...
Or, maybe, it's the story of Aïcha meeting her racist, homophobic, but mostly dumb parents-in-law and... still wrong, I think?????
Well, it's the story of motherfucking Jasper who cries like a baby because he's going to have a baby and has unsolved daddy issues... Wait, we're nearing it...
It's the story of Lumine Estern, who's cursed because one of her ancestors was an ass and... oh no, it's even worse
Well... what is this game about?
It's a story about true love, about delicious meat, about social norms, about testicles, about... life, in the deepest way possible.
A story to remind you that, whatever mistake you can make in life... remember I made a worse one.
(it is a joke tho don't kill your baby and put it (should i use "it"?????) in the freezer, i think that's worse than a cringe game but that's just me lmao you do you)
it was a legend of light. it was a legend of dark. it was the legend of Delta Rune. (what do you mean it isn't????)
FEATURES
I brought Leonardo da Vinci back to life so that he could make art for this game but he sucks at digital art
The worst art direction you've ever seen
10 minutes of suffering
CGs that will make your eyes bleed
This should have been a spooktober submission at this point
For the second time in one of my games, a giant talking slice of bacon.

A tiny fun read that made me chuckle a few times haha!! I obediently embraced the cringe, no worries!! Little hams are so precious 💕💕
Hi, thank you so much, I'm glad you had fun with it!! And may you feel stronger thanks to the power of cringe!!
Masterpiece. Nothing in life will ever top this - no literary, cinematic, or philosophical achievement will be able to even shine a light in comparison. The singing was the only thing close enough to be just as good, but unfortunately, Kawaii-chan was too "kawaii desu uwu owo."
You've had the experience of your life, and you've now ascended to a new level of reality. Congrats, you escaped from the matrix.
uwu
This was a rather entertaining experience in a way I can only describe to as a fever dream. Even though I doubt you'd want it, I'll give you my appreciation.
You're the second person describing it as a fever dream... why does everyone keep playing this game while having fever??????
(Horrific pun aside, feedback is always welcomed, haha! I speak for myself, but for all indie devs in general, so your appreciation is always highly appreciated! Thank you!)
Kawaii-chan is all I am. 5/5 stars.
This. is incredible omggg
Love this game! It’s really difficult to tell where the satire begins and ends… The graphics, the storylines, the words, the sentences, the name box, or everything…
Hi, thanks, but I'd rather call it a "work of art" than a game. And there isn't any Satyr in this game, that's gross!!!!!
(On a more serious note, haha, thanks for the feedback, I'm glad you had fun with this shitpost game rrrgt"rv I just had a lot of fun making it and writing this cursed but somehow cute romance...)
Absolutely had lots of fun and thank you for bringing happiness to this world!!! Your sense of humour is just genius!!!
Leonardo da Vinci can finally rest peacefully now that he has completed his magnum opus (magnum opuses? opii? for all the CGs)
This is truly a revolutionary otome game, splendidly depicted with intricately illustrated illustrations done by the talented Leonardo da Vinci. All of the character sprites are wonderfully expressive, and the GUI is colorful and vibrant. The game's emotional climax is accompanied by a heartrending vocal performance. The heartfelt lyrics perfectly portray Kawaii-chan's complex emotions while also delivering a cogent critique of English grammar. Highly recommended!
(ngl I do like actually like the general structure of this, and how the story focuses on Kawaii-chan's legitimate growth as a person)
Thanks for recognising the game's holy message about English grammar 🙏
The music was whispered in my ear by a pigeon (or was it ham? I can't remember). Basically, a message from Heavens, that I had the generosity to put into the game for the mortals to hear.
(Actually I've always thought Kawaii-chan was pretty endearing dfgrvtemgs and that her character arc was kinda sweet 😭, and that the story of a girl finding true and respectful love after being rejected by a guy who only saw her as a toy to play with is actually good plot material for someone who'd make more wholesome games than I 😭)
Truly Heaven-sent, surely brought by only the most wise and divine of messengers, the ham!
(YES I actually think that the overall story structure is very cute and sweet! Overall I think Bacon Monster is a pretty good LI, other than some somewhat questionable feelings about women's domestic duties and his habit of taking minors to bars. And I do really like the ending where she chooses his original appearance instead of a bishounen!)
This changed me as a person. Little hams will live rent-free in my mind for a while.
Feed the hams, tuppence a bag, would say Mary Poppins...
The real treasure was the hams we fed along the way. <3
Easily one of the games of the century. The characters were and the plot was as well. It has visuals and text, which is a characteristic of every great visual novel.
Too bad you overlooked the fact settings were also present, which doesn't make this visual novel just "great", but an actual masterpiece.
I was too stunned to speak
Like experiencing a fever dream. 5 out of 5. I liked the part with the bacon.
I would have liked the dad better but I guess the bacon is okay
