Crimson Hydrangea

Crimson Hydrangea is a visual novel dating sim for players who enjoy romance with a horror undercurrent. It leans into a cozy small-town setting that slowly reveals something darker underneath.

Story

After a breakup leaves you without a job or a home, a family friend helps you relocate to Saint Anne's, a quiet island off the northeastern coast. Months into your new life, a caring roommate, a supportive boss, and a playful baker have made the move feel worthwhile. That comfort shifts when Garret Belmont, the island's wealthiest and most sought-after bachelor, takes an interest in you, and the island's charm starts to look less straightforward than it first seemed.

Gameplay

You play through daily life on the island, making choices that shape how relationships with the people around you develop over time. The game supports different protagonist setups, including male, female, and futanari options, letting players approach the same social circle from different angles. Dialogue and choice-driven scenes move the days forward, with animated illustrations marking key moments between characters.
