An ordinary midlife crisis would be juicy on its own, but our Valdemar Andressen is anything but an ordinary person…

Slip into the platform boots of an already too tall 265-year-old therapist-by-day, dom-by-night vampire as he navigates the complexities of love, sex, friendship, the consequences of his actions, confronting his own mortality, the fragility of existence on a floating rock in the endless sea of space, and other lighthearted everyday challenges that come from centuries of life experience.

Parfum Nostalgique is a heartfelt tale about the people who change us, for better and for worse. From betrayal to unconditional love, from regret to hope… see the drama unfold between exes and lovers, old friends and new, when you dive into this kinetic visual novel dram-com series. With delicate vintage shoujo-inspired art, original soundtrack, and a diverse cast of voice actors, Parfum Nostalgique is a lovingly handmade passion project packaged with sweets and scented with roses by sole developer Prince Rosalium for your reading pleasure.

Well...Sort of!

Parfum Nostalgique for browser is still in its beta phase. It is still best played as a downloadable game for PC or Mac instead. To start playing the downloadable version, download Act 1 here☆

Though Act 1 and Act 2 are, in total, 4 hours of reading time, this game is quite dense with sound effects, voice acting, music, settings, and lots and lots of sprite images! Despite cutting it down as much as I can, you may experience image loading issues that could affect your experience. The game is perfectly playable, but if you are highly irritated by loading issues, you may want to opt for downloading the game.

The browser version also does not take save files. Because of this, the game has been split into parts short enough to read in one sitting. Though, perhaps, not much cannot be read in one sitting, if you really have it in you.

If there are any errors when the game is loading up (especially any errors loading "game.zip"), refreshing the page will usually fix the problem.
