The game is in the final stages of development and we expect it to be finished within a few weeks. We'll update as soon as we have a confirmed release date!

Hello! My name is Sonsoles, and I’m an English to Spanish (Spain) translator. I’m a big fan of otome games, and I noticed that Velvet Bite is already available in English, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese. I would love to help bring it to Spanish, if that’s something you’re interested in! I’ve played the demo and really enjoyed it—plus, the vampire aesthetic is fantastic. I’ve also seen in the comments that there’s a demand for a Spanish translation, so I’d be happy to assist with that.
I’d also be glad to translate Neverlander, if that’s something that you’re considering.
You can check out two examples of my Itchio translations on my profile, and feel free to reach out to me here on Itchio or via email at sonsolesmendezalv@gmail.com if you have any questions!
very wild to find out this game got picked up again after being in limbo for so long, i played the demo last night and i had some thoughts... i, of course, realize that because it is under a new studio, it will not be the same product that it would have been under its original creator. and this is fine! however, i do think its worth mentioning to others interested that this is... well. hardly anything at all like the original.
the overall feel of the story/vibes are incredibly different, giving the air of something like Diabolik Lovers, in a way. (which is fine, if that's your thing.) i think the loss of the cozy college-life vibe that was present in the original is a real shame, because otherwise it becomes kind of generic? you could very easily change the names of the characters to something completely different, and it will be just another vampire otome--which isn't what drew me into the characters 5 years ago.
and speaking of which, the characters seem kind of... one-dimensional so far? the dynamics between them all (or lack thereof) kind of feel hollow or flat, and feel a bit trope-y in the limited dialogue present in the demo. (for example, yvonne seemingly being presented as a stereotypical sexy/mature older woman, rather than elegant and kind like she originally was... kind of took me out of it.) i only say this to say that i hope its different in the full release; because where the original took me nearly 3 hours to complete, this was only around 30 minutes. (unless i missed some parts of it... excuse me if i'm wrong.) i was a big fan of how human the original felt, which made it stand out in the sea of generic anime vampire otome games.
which, again! is totally fine and i love a good classic vamp game! but if you are coming here from the SWT you know and love, it is important to keep in mind that it HAS been changed from the ground up under new development staff.
i digress. i will say that i have wishlisted this game on steam and i DO want to see it succeed if it happens to be a good final product! (and frankly, it is what OG backers deserve after so long... as much as i love the OG, it is a shame about everything that happened and i only have best wishes for the creator. v_v) however, as a fan of the game i do have my own thoughts about the direction it took in the end. i am not going to pretend that its the same game, but others will expect it to be similar just as i originally did, and they should be aware of the differences.
with that all being said, i will say some nice things! even despite the change in direction for the characters, the voice acting is a nice touch and i think the respective actors did a great job. :) i also enjoyed the music and the art is pretty! yvonne looks very pretty, especially in the lineart above this comment section.
thank you for reading this if you sat through my whole comment LOL. again, i don't mean this comment to be malicious in any way, and i hope the current team does not take it that way; in the end, i just hope that the OG backers and fans are happy with the end product, and i hope this new team can deliver that. i'm sure my thoughts won't have much weight as its already close to the planned release, but i still wanted to share after playing the demo.
if I compare correctly, then it's like the manga monologue of a pharmacist (with mao mao), the novell has one author, but there are two manga based on this novell from different publishers and artists, so please be more careful and respect the work of the developers
I literally didn't say anything offensive, but okay I get what you mean. also, I'm aware it's a different studio that has taken over production, I just expressed that the old artist's work was nice to me. have a nice day.
We’re an IPperipheral company based in Guangzhou, China—Qidian Chuangxiang—and I’m Ella, the leader here. Our brand HOBBYWON focuses on developing, operating, and selling IP derivative products. We work together on themes like games, animation, film and TV, emojis, online literature, and other cultural entertainment properties.
Right now, we’re looking into regional authorization cooperation in China for merchandise related to the Everium series NEVERLANDER. We’re thinking about product categories like plush toys, soft goods, and everyday items. Before this role at Qidian Chuangxiang, I spent nearly two years as head of peripheral business operations at KURO GAME Company where I gained a lot of experience managing game peripherals from start to finish.
I really appreciate the VelvetBite: Softly With Teeth series and have strong confidence in the ongoing development of Otome games. That’s why we’d love to partner with you! Our strengths are in creative design and strict quality control over our products. Through this initial collaboration we hope to show what we can do while paving the way for deeper cooperation on various peripheral products down the line.
The steps for this project include: sharing intentions—proposing product concepts—negotiating business terms—starting the project & signing contracts—designing products—producing prototypes—making bulk samples—manufacturing products—and finally selling them. We’ll keep close communication with the copyright holder every step of the way.
Recently, we teamed up with the Chinese indie game Starvation to license some cool merchandise like plushies and dolls, which you can also see in the video. So far, the market response and fan feedback have been really positive, and we're hoping this can serve as a good reference for our internal evaluations and future collaborations. Here are some links:
I'm saying this with the best intentions, so yeah, it's not going to be flattering, but I think it's more useful than a comment saying "all is well", so here it goes:
while the characters are very pretty, they kinda' felt...flat? :I Perhaps I didn't give them enough time, but I feel they should be more interesting from the get go? (I'm relatively patient and I actually like slow burns, so imagine when sb. is not/doesn't!)
The beginning of the story (events on the second floor) sounds good on paper, it just doesn't land for me. Where is the tension? I didn't feel worried, intrigued or excited for a second... Again, I don't mean to offend, but the whole thing was just so jejune, it def. needs some amping! :v
Maybe I'm not exactly your target audience; not sure if this is some kind of niche (vampire romance on ketamine) or what, but I'm sure you don't want to lose potential players and I rarely drop games but I did this one :<
TL;DR: Grab players' attention harder in the beginning, give more personality, excitement or feels!
This is probably the first visual novel I have come across on itch.io that has japanese dubbing and all the VAs sound great! The art is just lovely and the story's very interesting! Reminds me of one of those locked room mystery thrillers; a more light hearted version at least. Looking forward to the full release.
WOWOWOWOW!!! THE DEMO WAS GREAT!!! THE ART WAS AMAZING!! IM LOVING THE LITTLE HORROR ELEMENTS SPRINKLED THROUGHOUT!!! AHHHH I CANT WAIT TO PLAY THE FULL GAME!!!!!
I just finished playing the demo and I really enjoyed it! I loved how there was both male and female routes you can choose, the art music and voice acting was also super amazing!! I'm really hooked on the story and can't wait for the full release!
Sebastian pls im asking for a chance!!!!! but also Robin could've gotten it too if he was able to be romanced 〒▽〒 anyway enough pouting im excited for the full release
We've released three otome VNs since 2021 and are currently developing two VNs with female protagonists. We believe our current path aligns best with our creative vision, so our focus remains on creating games with female leads for now.
There are many talented devs creating amazing games in the amare genre on itch.io, and we believe you'll find many games that meet your needs!
Amare does not require gender variable MC it is a tag that encompasses multiple subgenres, Otome being one of those sub genres. Similar to how regency romance is a sub genre of historical romance. All Otome games are Amare games just like all Otome games are Josei Games. It's just not all Amare or Josei games are Otome games.
This game is an Amare Game and was tagged correctly. We kindly ask that you do not 'police' the tag or question why developers have labelled their game as Amare. Amare does not condone that behaviour.
This is just a really great game! Im in love with art, music and story here!! Can’t wait full release of the game! Thank you Everium for such a great project 🥹💞
Actually super dissapointing that you took money from people from the kickstarter softly with teeth. Refused to respond to anyone about why you suddenly pop up after 2/3 years and say no merch, new story. No protagonist (diana) either and a completely different story other than it's a halloween party.
Oh did I mention you made a quick tidbit that you won't be fulfilling any merch and a failure to respond to people on your kickstarter. lol.
Hi there! We're really sorry to hear about your problems. Just to be clear, we're a separate entity with a license to use the original work. All of our "Velvet Bite" production funds were self funded by Studio Everium. We hope this clears up a lot of misunderstanding.
I guess you didn't read the KS post carefully enough. Studio Chiffon mentioned Everium is another studio, totally not relate to them. And this is Everium's version of Softly with Teeth. Beside the character name, vampire and Halloween party concept, it's obvious that everything get build up from scratch. This is not the original "Softly with Teeth" you knew from the KS and Studio Chiffon anymore.
And if you take a look on Everium itch io, you will notice that they already release a few short game, which have the same style as this. Everium style clearly different from Studio Chiffon.
Wow I had a fun time with the demo and the art is just amazing as well as the character designs! I also REALLY appreciate both male and female love interests that is a really nice option!
just finished the demo rlly enjoyed it! the art is pretty, love the sprites + the bg style is v cute. the bg music is also nice and all the VA lines i've heard so far sound lovely.
v small side note, and i do hope i'm not overstepping/being rude!! idk if these things have been/will be fixed in the behind-the-scenes process since this is just the demo but i j wanted to mention i've spotted a few small typos?
one of the lines says "a stranger's voice cut through the haze but were lost in the fog", i think it's meant to be "was" instead of "were". another line is the following section "Sickening amount ... blood loss spoke an unsurvivable injury." I think it's meant to be "a sickening amount" and "blood loss spoke of an...". there's also "I ... too many drinks my that head throbbed". there's also a line in madison's section where MC says "I didn't have to scare me like that!" instead of "you". once again these r just little details i noticed and 100% not remotely a criticism or anything<333 v excited to see where this game goes!!
The bonus route characters do not appear in the demo, as they only appear in the mid-game. However, we will positively consider creating an update version!
Looking forward to the release! Though the demo is only a snippet you can really tell that the devs put a lot of thought and effort into this, can't wait to see what the finished product looks like!!!

THANK YOU FOR THIS AMAZING GAME hasn't even come out and i already know its gonna be amazing
Can't wait to play the full version!!! The art and how VA sounds just absolutely gorgeous! ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 I tell you guys this demo just brilliant
This game finished soon? Also did this game update?
My eyes we're blessed
kinda miss vacuum's old art, the men in the new art style look way younger, i liked how rugged they looked previously
This is a game from another publisher, a game with Vacuum art from the Chiffon studio ☺️
if I compare correctly, then it's like the manga monologue of a pharmacist (with mao mao), the novell has one author, but there are two manga based on this novell from different publishers and artists, so please be more careful and respect the work of the developers

Piensan llevarlo a Español?

There are many talented devs creating amazing games in the amare genre on itch.io, and we believe you'll find many games that meet your needs!
You should remove the amare tag then.
We used the term amare because, as we understand it, it commonly includes the following elements. Please let me know if we're misunderstanding anything!
We are referring to the following link for the definition of the 'amare game'.
jaimescribblesgames.com/2021/08/16/what-is-amare/
Hi there, just for clarification.
Amare does not require gender variable MC it is a tag that encompasses multiple subgenres, Otome being one of those sub genres. Similar to how regency romance is a sub genre of historical romance. All Otome games are Amare games just like all Otome games are Josei Games. It's just not all Amare or Josei games are Otome games.

Can you please add it to the description and maybe tags?
Added #female-protagonist to the description and tags!
I'm so obsessed with the art of this game it's so damn surreal
Hellooo, how long the demo is potentially?
The demo is intended to take approximately 15-30 minutes to complete, though playtime may vary.
