Lesbian Mothman Hunters
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
A short visual novel made in around a month for Cryptid Jam.
Guide the skeptical Charlie through a night in her local woods, helping her cute friend Mia search for the infamous Mothman (or, possibly, the less-infamous Owlman. Mia insists that the difference is academic).
- Get lost in the woods
- Choose if Charlie flirtatiously teases her crush or not
- Change whether this game should even have "Mothman" in the title
- Wonder why Mia would even think about looking for Owlman here. I mean this is literally just behind her house, someone would have noticed
- Watch as Charlie holds hands with a girl whilst also being a girl
- Discover why Mia really came to these woods
This game is intended to be suitable for all audiences, but contains mild threat, anxiety, and also they say "Oh My God" four times. Please leave any glitches or typos that you notice in the comments.

short but sweet. good story. I liked the owl man trivia even though it was only a little. cute.
I get this shortly into the game? Any fix or work around?
Sorry for the slow reply, seems Itch didn't send me an email notification for this. Seems like it's failing to load an image, not sure why it's using those locations but that might be causing it. I've never seen it do this before, if you can send the full .txt file I can give the error codes a closer look, but I'm afraid I can't currently can't update the game due to my work contract. If I find anything in the .txt I'll be able to push an update later, but that'll be a few months away at minimum.
Maybe an uninstall and reinstall will fix this for now, but I'm afraid I can't do much more. Sorry.

Hi again! I haven't done any ren'py development in a while, so I'm a bit rusty. This may be a common issue with Ren'py games on Android, but not one with a clear cause. I've found potential solutions, but I can't replicate the bug on Ren'Py's Android emulation so won't know if any attempted fix has worked, and you're the only player who's reported this. For future reference, can you tell me what version of the game and Android you're using, and if anyone else is having this issue, please let me know too. Hopefully, this bug is only an issue on Android and other versions will still function as intended.
lesbians AND MOTHMAN?!
the perfect combo for the best sitcom
10/10 would watch again
Sweet game, love seeing trans reps in lesbian media, it means a lot to me. Thank you <33
Adorable visual novels about two girls getting lost in the woods and using that opportunity to talk about what realy matters to them. There arent any alternate endings or a lot of content, but its cute, well written and just a pleasant litte story.

Adorable, wonderful, very cute! A super quick game with so much heart!
That was adorable and very gay, 10/10
The art and writing of this game is lovely! I love your art soo much and cryptids are so cool. Such a cute little game, wish I can play it again for the first time
This was such a lovely bite sized game. I played it on a twitch stream of mine, and it was such a sweet queer experience! Thank you for making a positive, light game (which also manages to include cryptids).
Also - I absolutely love the last line of the game.
This was really adorable! your art style is very unique I like it :D
also the line "no, i wouldnt have invited you if i didn't like that its just," is supposed to be said by Mia I think? but her name doesn't show up.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the game, and have added the missing name to the patch list :>
This was cute! I enjoyed this a lot.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it :>
