### 2/5 — Discontinued game

*2025-09-11, version 2.2.0*

They're sadly discontinuing this app. They must've done it earlier than they said. Because you really can't play anything, since everything is basically greyed out. So I won't get to finish any stories. Especially, since it looks like they haven't updated anything in over three years.

### 5/5 — PLEASE DO NOT DELETE

*2025-08-21, version 2.2.0*

Yesterday we just got a notification that service will be ending in October this year but please nooooo! I’ve been playing since I was a kid in 2015, and now I’m an adult and still playing! I love this game, specifically Wizardess Heart and Blood in Roses! I love all the characters especially Klaus and Gordon. I love how simple and cute this game is too.  This is the only otome game I actually enjoy playing. Will there be a different app where we can still play these games? I am even willing to pay money. Please don’t abandon this game !
