Honey Sweet Lies
A downloadable Visual Novel for Windows and macOS
Michiru Hoshikawa, a 3rd-year student and president of the Tea Party Club, has a wonderful fun-filled life. Every day after school she gets to meet with her friends, drink tea and eat cake, and chat. What could be better?
But, ever since the start of the year, something has been off with her bestest friend, Aoi. Michiru can’t figure out what is wrong, but she’s determined to get to the bottom of it.
Honey Sweet Lies is a psychological horror mystery visual novel project. Throughout the game, you have 5 opportunities to ask various characters questions. But, be aware of getting too close to the truth, as some truths can be too hard to handle.
Pay attention to the World Warning System; a sign that you’re getting close to an unwanted truth, and to proceed and make decisions carefully.

I just played it on Stream today and I absolutely love it so if you’re interested please reply to me and if you don’t want to that’s perfectly ok but thank you for making this amazing game. I absolutely love it and keep up The great work😁
thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it! :D I sent you a response via email!
I adored this game! Can't wait to see what you create in the future.
Thank you so much! :D I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it
I am so happy I was able to play this game. It was so good. I loved the story, the outcomes, and the art. You really dug into the mental psyche of it all. Great job on the writing!
Is there a walkthrough for this game? I can't get to the good ending.
You can find the route guides here: https://honeysweetlies.carrd.co/#walkthroughs !
Thank you!
Hi! Just wanted to let you know I noticed a small writing error, (its not much but im a grammar nerd haha) and also right now I LOVE THIS GAME!!!! I haven't finished it but!!!! I have no idea what happened to Aoi and i'm so ready to know!!!!!!!!
Writing error was: "Aihara-senapi, you really don't talk much, do you?"
AHHH I JUST STARTED IT AND IT'S SO GOOD ALREADY THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS <333333
This is amazing, found you through ace attorney, and have been following this ever since! Super happy for your game and I really enjoyed it! Can't wait to make some fan art :D
Thank you so much!!! :D If you do make fanart, make sure to show me cuz I'd love to see it!!
I would love to show you! Would you prefer to see it on this website or somewhere else? Also I would like to ask if on your card in the characters' section, if there is a full body picture of the characters? I wanna get as many references as I can!
You can either send it here or @ me/DM it on Twitter! And I only have full-body references of the beta designs, but if you give me a day I can make full-body refs for the current ones!
You're so polite! :D I've already drawn Michiru Hoshikawa with a picture I found on your twitter, (it's poorly colored cause' I hate coloring it's also kind of off since i barely have any colored pencils). I tried to search up her name for a reference, and needless to say I was scarred.. but anyways, I'll upload it on this thread when I'm finished :]
I've finished the drawing, the more I look at it the more flaws I see so I'mma just post it already
Sorry for the late reply but thank you so much!!! It's very cute :D !!
is this like ddlc? i love the game and the sweet art style, cute name and "psychological horror visual novel" all REEK of doki doki in the best way possible
It was definitely inspired by the aesthetic of ddlc! I love media that has a cute aesthetic that hides a darker plot and ddlc is a pretty big inspiration for that.
holy crappp! this is a masterpiece!
I adored this! You did such an amazing job, I'm really excited for Honey Sweet Lies 2! Hopefully we'll get to learn more about the characters and what happened!
my god the true end was really sad but sweet.
I absolutely loved this! The endings were insane! I was just trying so many combos to see what would happen! The more you play the more tense things get it was awesome! Great writing!
Thank you so much, I'm very glad you enjoyed it!! I enjoyed watching your playthrough :D
We. Loved. This game.
I genuinely cannot recommend this enough. It has plenty of endings, replay value, and lots of creepy tension. For a first attempt, this is impressive. We spent well over an hour trying to get all endings! Thank you for making this, we had a lot of fun. :)
Thank you so much !! :D I'm very glad you enjoyed it!
Of course!! Please let us know when you do your next game, we'd love to take a crack at more of your work. :)
I can tell this is a great game I'll download it!
just downloaded, I'm super excited to start playing! ^-^
