I'm an American office worker obsessed with Korean web novels and comics. One day I get into an accident and die, only to be reincarnated as an extra in one of my favorite books – a BL tragedy fantasy novel.
I'm supposed to die in this world too so I can be part of the main character's tragic backstory as his lost love, but I won't lose my life again! So I survive my 'death event'. However, my unexpected survival causes a butterfly effect in the story, and suddenly I replace the main character of the novel and become the Saintess of the Golden Bow.
As the savior of the realm I embark on a quest to defeat the Demon Queen, accompanied by Levi, my valiant knight and the original Saint, the Mad Prince Noah and the High Priest Elijah. How many more times will I have to avoid death before I can bring peace to the realm again?
'Saintess of the Golden Bow' is an otome fantasy romance visual novel with character death and light BL themes (only in the original novel – in the game the characters are focused on the female MC).
The Short Demo features:
- around 1 hour of gameplay with multiple choices
- a branching narrative with 3 handsome love interests (3M)
- 6 beautifully-colored CGs
- character sprites for most of the cast
The Full Game (date of release TBA) will feature:
- routes for every love interest with multiple endings
- over 20 CG illustrations
- 300k words of a beautifully-crafted story (around 30 hours of gameplay depending on reading speed)
The full Game will be community-funded. A Kickstarter and Patreon are planned for the game's further development.

Love the characters!
Is there any android version? I really want to fangirl over levi like all the other gamers :')
Hohoohohoh gish
Who wants more Levi? WE WANT MORE LEVI!
I repeat, who wants more Levi? WE WANT MORE LEVI!!!!!
~~~
Ehem~ now that we're got the fan chant out of the way, time to start gushing and OH MY CELESETE, looooved this entry so much. Reincarnation tropes are totes my jam + the combination of cute romance/dangerous story elements are making me so exciteeeeeed.
AHHHHH WHEN'S THE FULL RELEASE, I NEED IT NOW!!!
The character designs are so eye-catching + the CGs/BGs/GUI are gagging me with a spoon fr ~ I love em all, I want to stare at the screen long enough for the pixels to imprint on my eyes. Probs to the entire art team!
As for the music, VO, and sound design - the work that went into this project is so heart-warming, this was clearly made with a lot of love and effort < I honestly can't pick a favorite between the tracks and the VOs since I loved em all, haha ((Tho I'm made sure to not make it obv that I like Levi maybe a *littleeee* too much lol)
Not too mention the programming, everything is running so smoothly like whaaaaa??
All in all, fabulous work everyone! I can't wait to see what the full release will look like <3
Who wants more Levi? WE WANT MORE LEVI!
I repeat, who wants more Levi? WE WANT MORE LEVI!!!!!
Oh, I love it :D (I wish the main character could have changing names but oh well xD) the RO's (especially Levi) are so lovely and wonderful :3 I'm excited for more and I'm looking forward to the next chapter :D
I really enjoyed it
Just finished playing the game demo and I really enjoyed it. I love this genre of VN because its always so interesting seeing how the dev will put a spin on the whole Transmigrated into a fictional world thing.
I really loved MC she's very independent and I appreciate that plus on top of it she can weld an actual weapon which is awesome. Elijah the priest seems pretty nice but his like pureness fuels my skeptical side, Noah is very handsome and I'm excited to learn more about him but so far I think i like Levi best, hes just such a sweetheart. Anyway I really enjoyed playing the game and am excited to see where it goes.
The story is really interesting and promising! But in my opinion the CGs look much better than the character sprites.
Congratulations on your demo release! I look forward to seeing more of this game later! Celeste is a very lovable character and I'm very intrigued by what kind of relationship she could have with Noah given how, ah, MIXED his feelings are.
Plus, I am thrilled to see another dev making an isekai game. So excited to see how this develops over time!
This demo is amazing! I love the characters and the backstory so far. <3
