A Little Inconvenience
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
"Love always begins with a flicker."
Darius' life was zapped of any meaning and feeling. Everything that used to make him feel something, became nothing. To cope with it, he stopped by the Quick Stop to pick up a cheap beer. That's when he was greeted by an angel: Sabrina. Her serene voice, her undeniable beauty, and the way she carried herself... Upon seeing her, Darius' heart started to beat again.
That was one year ago, and although Sabrina doesn't remember the day, it's Darius's most treasured memory. Every day, he comes to visit her, dawning the same bag she gave him the day they met. He wishes to repay her for giving him his life back: himself so they can always be together and make each others' lives better. But when someone threatens that possibility, Darius is willing to do whatever it takes to ensure his angel remains his...

Ugh, I want to play this so badly, from what I've seen, this game seems amazing, but i can only hope that this is put on browser some day <3
NGL, Tristan was cute, even though I know he is doomed. I was hooked and when the demo ended I really wanted more! The wait is going to kill me faster than Darius will.
Sabrina was a compelling and lovable protagonist. I loved getting snippets of how she is like in a relationship. I did go through some of your older devlogs, and am happy you ultimately decided to make her an established protagonist. Established protagonists rule!
omg is that verity
The art in this is phenomenal! Are there future plans to add an android version of the game? Would love to play this on my phone ^^
Me encantó! Necesito máaaassss!
I liked the game, and I’d like to know when the full game would be out and if it’s free ^^ + I hope we can customize the MC.
if I am being honest, I loved the game, but I didn't like how we (the MC) looked I wish it was customizable but yeah, it was a good game.
absolutely loved it!!! can't wait for a full release <333!!!!
Estara disponible en español?
Tengo la misma pregunta...
I really liked this demo, can't wait for more!<3
im addicted already omg i cannot wait for more, i didnt expect to like tristan but i do so i cannot wait to see how this ends
por favor continue eu amei
Encontré al dr.flug como yandere!!!!! Se párese mucho!!! Siii!!!🙏❤️😩
PLEASE.add a android version bro............I NEED IT PLEASE
Giggling and kicking my feet at the himbo that is Tristan, literally pure of heart but dumb of ass like, I get you Sabrina, I truly do get you
I usually never comment on games to say if they're bad or not. But this game was so terrible I had to say something! The character designs, they're personalities and even the plot was so terrible! I can't imagine actually sitting here and finding this game entertaining. Quite seriously a waste of time.
Hey, I understand how you feel, but the way you worded this was not okay at all. This developer put a lot of hard work into this to make it inclusive (having a black MC) and fun. I understand it's a small demo and a short game, and there wasn't much given to understand what the main plot is, but the way you worded this was just disgusting on your end.
Please, have some self-respect. The drawings, the text and coding took long hours and weeks to progress if you have the cells to understand. If you have something negative and harsh to say, find somewhere else to speak it or even better, keep it to yourself. This was just so rude and shameful to read. Do you understand how this could feel for all the designers and artists who worked hard, fair and equally to progress this game? It gives a sense of zero motivation and just negativity across the community.
This game isn't your local CEO mafia daddy biker game, you want emo hot yandere men? Multiple games fit the stereotypical 'yandere male'; if you were educated enough, this short demo explained how unhealthy and disturbing the reality is of a 'yandere male', not all muscles, clean and rich. The plot is meant to be 'disgusting' because the context is based on the depths of obsession. But you complain.
Before you tell anyone this game is a waste of life, you should get a life first. THANKS!
I feel so bad that you went out of your way to type all of that out because most of their posts are just complaining and hating on games. i'm 90% percent sure they made their account just for that reason.
I feel bad that someone (Princess Butterfly) is such a lowlife of a person, they go out of their way to make fun of someone's creation even tho they can't draw or code for shit.
no shade but like, if u wanted to have an inclusive mc u could've allowed character customization. there's no reason to have a pre-designed character (no hate to the game, especially since i've never played it. i just don't understand the need to create an mc that doesn't fit every individual if you wanted to have differentiation)
I think you might want to ask yourself why you are complaining about a black woman MC and talking about her as if she wasn't inclusive?
Why are you uncomfortable playing as her? Learn to put yourself in the shoes of others. Not everything has to represent you in particular. Don't use "inclusive" as a weapon against representation of marginalized people.
I think you are confusing inclusivity with representation. Having a black MC is representation, but “inclusive” means including different kinds of people, not simply representing one group instead of another. It's absolutely fine to have a black MC, but it is not inclusive, just as if the MC was white, it wouldn't be inclusive. Also, not all black people are going to feel represented by this MC either. They seem to be a woman, they have blue/purple hair, they have a certain body type etc. No single pre-designed character can represent everyone, and that is once again perfectly fine, but it is not inclusive.
I don't think the original commenter was saying they were uncomfortable playing as a black character in the first place. They were specifically talking about having a pre-designed MC instead of customization. Why immediately assume their issue was their skin color? It's okay to be passionate about black representation, but this felt unnecessarily aggressive.
It just breaks my heart to see so few black MCs in games and for one of the rare ones to be treated as inferior to a customisable MC that could be set as white.
They may not have meant to say that at all, yet I can't help but be upset about it. Black women MCs should be celebrated and not get hit with an "a customisable MC would've been more inclusive" when Sabrina was never meant to be that. Nowhere in the description is the world "inclusive" used. I want black women MCs to be able to exist in peace.
"Never comment on games to say if they're bad" Yet your account is full of mindless hating, and typing with grammar issues. simmer down girl
Couldn't help but laugh when I clicked your profile and you almost exclusively leave negative comments
oh hes ummmm cute.. yeah cute thats the word nothing more..
I'm generally getting bored with the classic yandere but Darius actually made me blush and kick my feet. I love the way his POV is introduced at first. Ready for the full game !!!♥
This so peak!!! I can't wait to buy it when its finally done:) I mean I CAN but it'd be kinda boring without my baby girl Darius <3
Great visual novel!
He’s The Stan Eminem Told Us About 😏
First time I see a black protag in a Visual Novel. Will most definitely play this.
error143?? juégalo por favor, es una obra de arte 🙌
i wonder what will come next in the full release
i get darius tbh. i too would kill a man for sabrina <3
This was a fun demo! The moment when the lights shut off was an interesting subversion, but didn't really add too much. I DO like the boss though, and how every character is so fleshed out.
I wonder if Darius takes a shower before visiting the MC, since no one comments on the fish smell. I can imagine that would get comments, or would get him kicked out of some establishments if he didn't have such a good relationship with the staff (or add to his inferiority for working a 'dirty' or 'low class' job)
idk! this was fun to play and i can't wait for more ! !
No no that ain't yandere, that's the freaking JOKER from Persona 2: Eternal Punishment 😆
Cool game, I can't wait for the full release. Darius reminds me of this fighting game character with a bag over his head, haha.
AHHH this game is so good!! I love the art and story!! <3
I can't believe you would do this. Why make me this attached to Tristan, only for me to look at the game page and learn about
his imminent death. His banter with Sabrina was so cute. Why... *sobs*.I already told you this before, but we gotta let the chat know: Darius design is so unique for a Li, especially taking into account the context, it got me like "AHHHH". This is so smart. I also did not expect him to be this pookie. He is seriously adorable, i would have said to protect him at all cost but well...
And i am glad you decided to have Sabrina as the set MC! She is so pretty and basically a ray of sunshine (not to copy Darius). Like wdym i get to take on her role, let's goooo
Where's my android version 😠
hehehehehehe HOI!♫♪
Sabrina is so cute!! Yay I love seeing black mcs in yandere games ^o^ I love the sound effects too. I watched my fav youtuber, Espoir Du Vide play this since I'm a big scaredy-cat when it comes to games like these. I really like the writing, characters and the art style, can't wait for future updates !
This was a good demo!! I'm hyped for the full release (whenever that may be) and to add this man to my probably concerning hear me out list that never ends within its growing lengths.
Darius was interesting to see his POV through. I was actually worried I'd have to choose what terrible action I'd have to do to our mans (because obviously being sane isn't an option for him /lh), I'm sending you my laundry bill for making me sweat through all my clothes. I liked how while he had that instant obsession, he's actually been waiting for over a YEAR to get himself implanted into MC's life. That he's trying to become a friend, trying to play a game that'll make him liked despite being a lil weirdo, but there's a clear issue standing in his way and seeing blatant affection displayed in front of him is slowly making him snap.
Overall, I'm invested. This scratched an itch I have like a dog with fleas and I feel like I have a cone around me waiting for more. I hope we can see a Tumblr or an ask page open up where fans can ask about the game, characters, development, etc and stay updated if there isn't already one, I am a ball of nd interests bouncing around and collecting more until i explode I need nutrients.
Thank you for assuring there has been no usage of any gen AI in your creations! That made it so much more enjoyable hopping into <3
Hey Chatty! Thank you so much for your wonderful comment, I'm super glad you enjoyed the game. In the extended demo + full game, you'll have control over Darius' actions... somewhat. ;) Your influence on him will lock you out of certain choices, and I'll make sure you're aware of what choices you could've made if better (or worse) decisions were picked as Sabrina.
Yeah! The timeskip I felt like was super necessary to move the story forward naturally. When it came to Darius + Sabrina's relationship, I really wanted it to be like a parasitic growth that slowly takes over your life. Plus, for Sabrina, having him known him for a year makes her less weary to any potential red flags and more open to a relationship. Though that isn't to say she won't outright dismiss any weirdo behavior!
When it comes to a Tumblr, I do have one! It's my personal/game dev one where I allow for asks on any of my projects, so feel free to send questions over! I honestly need to use it more often, so providing updates and getting messages from fans there will definitely help motivate me, haha! https://husbandogoddess.tumblr.com/
And no problem. Gen-AI sucks and I hate it with every fiber of my being. <3
i wish we could customize mc
https://itch.io/games/genre-visual-novel/tag-character-customization
thanks
Honestly I agree,
There's nothing wrong with having a set protagonist, but I feel like adding a "remove sprite" option would go a long way, alot of VN readers like to imagine their own MC's so they can enjoy the game a little better.
Where Winter Crows Go is a good example, that also has a great set protagonist MC, but it allows the readers an option and thus allows a greater amount of people to enjoy it :)
Hi Robin! Thank you for your feedback. While I will not implement character customization for a number of reasons, I will look into toggling Sabrina on or off for a future update of the demo. :)
thanks, i didnt mean it in a bad way i just like it when i can customize things
A game with my niches? I'm hooked.
On a serious note, the dialogue felt fluent with how the interactions of the characters go and my god, Darius you bagged bastard.
Demo is good for a solid 20 minutes, which is enough time to have an overview of the characters. Can't wait for what's to come in the future.
This game is so darn cute!!!!! Darius has so much potential to be creepy but as a Yandere enjoyer I think he's perfect. I thought I wouldn't like Tristan based on the description and appearance on the game page, but I really shouldn't have judged a book by its cover -- Tristan seems like a real sweetheart. 💖💖💖
The little animations and the bag blushie expression and horrified bag expression are too good LOL. How are they so expressive while just being a bag head?!?!
Someone somewhere commented that they bet Darius is a cute anime waifu under that bag and honestly I would like to plus one that comment... the long hair is promising (I'm such a sucker for medium/long hair on men)
Tristan is such a cutie goober though... his relationship with Sabrina/MC is so wholesome and adorable... 😭 I especially enjoyed his innocent doe-eyed expression LOL. Sabrina is also a sweet and likeable protag... but damn, no wonder Darius would get jealous... 🥲🥲🥲 S & T have such a normal, loving relationship... there is no space for Darius in that equation LOL.
The music was very cute, such a great fit, a mix of cute and creepy and romantic ✨️
Darius's monologue about "I should be the one to....!" reminded me of one of my favorite Avicii songs, "I could be the one" LOL 😆
The whole team did such a great job...!!! I can't wait to see the next part! I don't want Darius to kill anyone but at the same time I do?! I feel conflicted LOL but either way, I'm ready for part 2 🫡🫡🫡🔥🔥🔥🔥
I really enjoyed reading this. What a very nice yandere visual novel. Darius is the cringe nice guy we all know and love. Great writing and visuals. Love the boyfriend too super cute!
Thank you so much for playing and for making a video on the game! :) Glad you enjoyed the demo, and I hope you cover the full game when it releases.
I hope to as well! Thank you for responding! Awesome game!
