Thorn for the Villain~ Reincarnated as an Extra in an Otome Game?!
Truck-kun strikes yet again…!
-An office lady is reincarnated as Teresa von Ambrose, originally a spriteless extra character in the obscure otome game “Eternal Blessing of the Stars”, where most of the endings end up with Asmodia Kingdom in shambles one way or another...
Teresa: "That's me. I'm part of that shitty kingdom!!!"
Armed with knowledge of the game's future, Teresa decides to intervene and erase the event that triggered the beginning of the original story.
-But actions have consequences, and instead of the protagonist, Teresa finds herself drawing the attention of the villainous underground organization, Snare.
*Note: This game contains blood, violence, and character death. Also expect scenarios you would normally see in other isekai stories.
-Customizable first name for the MC
-2 Love interests
-20,000 words (demo version)
- 55,000 words (extended early beta access version)
-Optional dyslexic font
-Partial Voice Acting
...More to discover!
-Whose route would you choose first? And why?
-What's your favorite scene/event?
-Are you interested in playing the full release?
(The full game will be PAID)
-Are the LIs villainous enough for you?
-Other comments are welcome!

i cant get enough of this!!! trying to find other people who like this is like trying to find your soulmate... IMPOSSIBLE.
and lastly -roughly how long do you think it would take to finish one route?
Q1. id pick the same as everyone else... Vicenzo because Edel feels like the type of guy that you'd struggle to get a good ending with
Q2. my favourite part (LOWKEYYYYYY) is when the engagement gets brought up. the brother is funny
Q3. guess.
Q4. obvs... once there's more content, ill probably be able to solidify my opinion... nyhehehe!
one day I WILL see more content of this.
Common route so far is estimated to be around 4~6 hours, and I'd like to match that with the character routes.
thank youu!!!
i cant wait until the game finishes - I WILL BE RUNNING TO PLAY ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡
I was depressed it just ended there. crying rn. was so good ToT
hi! I’m a bit new to itch so sorry if this is a silly question, but are you able to/will the special dialogue buyable thingy ever restock?
I also have another question, how much is the game going to be when it’s finished?
Thank you for the interest! Unfortunately, the special dialogue won't be restocked anymore. As of now, the only way to obtain it is through the special portrait tier.
As for full price, that is still tentative, however, I did state in the FAQs that the price will be $9.69, so I'll try to do the initial release within that price range one way or another, but definitely not less than the not-so-early bird tier.
Is there a time we can expect a new update/part of the game? I've been really excited for a few months and I can't waitttt (but take your time lmao)
No exact date yet, but for any WIP update, only those who qualify for beta access will be able to try it out, and for the rest- it will probably be the full release.
Right now, I do have a new chapter or two that hasn't been released even to beta access, but it's not yet ready (incomplete assets, placeholders, incomplete branches, etc.).
I always announce major updates though, but I haven't had any for a long time due to personal family circumstances >_<
alrighty take your time we'll be patiently waiting for the next updates🙈🙈🙈❤️❤️❤️
Is there a Spanish translation?
Unfortunately, no. Localization is very costly🥲
THIS EVERYTHING I WANTED i read stories like this all the time but a game with the same concept AHHH IM OBESSED
I'm actually so in love with this game! It took me maybe 4+ hours since I was trying to go through every option, but it was totally worth it! I was utterly shocked when I died T-T, but I think I got the cliffhanger later on after backtracking everything. Btw, I created a whole account just to share my thoughts ^^ AND I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE ART STYLE!!
Aww thank you!
genuinely fell to my knees when i saw that the release date is 2026 now omg </3
On the web version, I keep getting stuck on the "Her name is... Teresa" dialogue :( no clue how to get past this, nothing in the menu is helping
Have you tried enter key?
I didn't </3 enter worked, thank you!! :]
should i get the early beta access? is it worth it??
Well, it's up to you!
If you can't wait for more content, then go for it, but if you'd prefer to play the game blind, then better to wait for the full release. Beta access will keep updating (updates take long though, as I work alone) until full game, but it may also have unfinished/placeholder assets.
I'll only close the rewards once the game is near completion, and I'll be sure to announce it, so you can also wait it out.
(Beta access also includes your name in the credits and earlier access for the full release.)
you're right! thank you! i might get the early access whenever im not poor ahaha.
Está en español?
Unfortunately, no. Pre-Odyssey has a Spanish version in development though!
Hi Anta!
We’re reaching out from Otome.com, we’ve admired your work for a long time and have been wanting to contact you, but couldn’t find a reliable way to do so, so we’re trying here instead. (We tried emailing tho ._.)
Would you be interested in collaborating with us on our website and podcast?
Oh, hi! I'm usually available to contact on Twitter! (@antares252)
Тhanks so much for replying! 💕
Twitter isn’t a great option for us for keeping track of communication long-term. Would it be possible to reach you via an email you’re active on, or maybe Discord?
Hi, yes and thankyou, i tried to download and play the apk version. when i picked the first "pick an option" (the "i.." - 'Love you' or '...') the screen showed an error that said "an exception has occurred", when i tried to rollback, it keeps crashin' here's the screenshot.
Idk if someone already report it or not, but this is what happens to me. Hope that i don't waist anyone's time. Thanks again!
Absolute cinema 👐
amazzzing
papa.. me want more movie ..... THIS GAME IS SOOOOOOOOOO PEAK
I love the game!!!!!!i can't wait to play the new part!!!please put it on the steam!!! it is so sad to find itch don't have a way that i can pay .and i find the author of the game is the one of my favourite games!!!!it is so surprised!!!!!!i also want to see dlc of jester ！！！pleased!!!!please!!!!! if you finish the game ,please put it on the steam that i can buy it!!!!please!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry I'm only replying now! Apparently this comment had to be approved (and a whole bunch of others-) and I've only learned about it today...
As for payment method/s, I'm also accepting payments through Ko-fi.
I can't guarantee a Steam release, though I did mention it in the FAQs.
I created an account just to comment!! I love this!!! I have always wanted to play the part of reincarnated villainess with plot!! But didn't find anything satisfying my interests... But this yes absolute yes for me! Eagerly waiting! Oh yes I tried the mobile version and it worked perfectly well! Love the inner monologue and expressions of the mc!
YOOOO MY FIRST TRY EDEL DIDNT KILL ME LESGO??
The demo is so good! Love it so much.
Wait how do you get the Edel and Vicenzo endings? I only found the route where oc is killed😭.
I'm sorry this is 5 months late... I've only learned that there were comments that required approval-
But to answer that, this is still just a demo, so the rest of the game (their endings) is still in development!
Do you have a discord server with all potential update info? if not that's totally fine. I just finished the demo and I'm OBSESSED
I'm sorry this is 5 months late... I've only learned that there were comments that required approval-
I don't have a Discord server at the moment, but I do post updates on my Twitter(@antares252), Tumblr(@antagames) or Bsky(@antares252) accounts. Mainly Twitter.
I also post bi-monthly devlog updates which I've paused due to personal circumstances, but I do hope to resume those update logs soon!
really good
I NEED MORE PLEASE IM LOSING IT
i love the game
MC's emotes and inner monologues got me laughing hard 🤣
Yes😝😝😝
I tried installing the APK and apparently it's an update to Trapped With Jester instead of, the game
I've had some people say that the icon is Trapped with Jester; have you tried opening it?
I'll redownload it and update you
Oh yeah, I just tested it. It's just Trapped with Jester in name, but it's the right game when you open it👌
it does say it's an experimental buildApp not installed, something about invalid package
Do you have a screenshot?
Was there a message before that?
Otherwise, it might be a version issue, which I couldn't really do anything about atm 😔
will it be released on steam
for me, I personally prefer to buy games on steam tho..
It's stated in the FAQs!
Short answer: Possible, but I can't promise anything🙏
oh yaay
THIS GAMES A MASTERPIECE!! PLEASE RELEASE THE EXTENTED DEMO SOONNNNN I NEED TO KNOW WHATS GONNA HAPPENNN TOT
hiii i love this game and im willing to pay full release even tho i dont waste money on gafmes like this, when do u thibnk u can release the ggame around in 2026?
-Whose route would you choose first? And why?
i will choose Vicenzo cuz like i love two faced ppl
-What's your favorite scene/event?
i reallu liked everything fr
-Are you interested in playing the full release? (The full game will be PAID)
ofcourse
-Are the LIs villainous enough for you?
yes
I'm not sure yet, for all we know, it could once again get delayed. I will close the donation campaign once the game is near completion, so if you're not sure about paying yet, feel free to wait for announcements and follow my account for updates.
im in love with Vicenzo (if that was his name) I just came back to see when it would be released i love your art style🥲
I played the demo a few times already year or so back...I read through the whole thing they have written and it says Full Release 2025... Does that mean it's going to be released at the end of the year maybe in December?
Updates were posted on Twitter
Unfortunate family things happened at the start of the year, hampering the development by lot. I haven't updated the front page yet, but I have to delay the release once again🙏
I completely understand, sorry about that. Hopefully everything is right with you and your family! o7
I downloaded the android version but it keeps blocking at the first scene where the OG FL either says nothing or confesses her feelings for the OG ML
Blocking? Like, it's not loading?
yes exactly
Hmmm... I works on my end. Try going to options, enable Skip Unseen Text, then open the quick menu (click the flower on the bottom right), then enable skip until the part you can't get through. See if it will get through it.
I had bought the Ko-Fi thing in the past and we talked before on that site my question will i get access here or where when the next build update happens? Im using the mobile port just to let you know
I will be sending Itchio keys through the contact info link included in the downloads from both here and ko-fi, which is why it's important to fill it up!
Although I might upload the game itself on ko-fi too since a few people who donated through ko-fi still hadn't sent their forms (granted, there's still a lot of time for that) and there's no way for me to contact ko-fi donors ^^"
I LOVE THIS GAME!! Its so fun and entertaining. i am so down to buy the full released version in the future! (when I am not broke anymore LOL) I tried this game on android and the only problem is that I can't save? I couldn't find the button to save so I played it all night until the end of demo..
To save, you open the quick menu by clicking the flower at the bottom right of the text box. It's also available for the PC version, you just have to hover on the flower.
I've added a tutorial on that, but it's not included in the demo version/s (the tutorial, that is).
The buttons are small though, and the android version is currently a direct port of the PC version, but I'll be making a more Android friendly UI after the full release (whenever that may be 😅)
Oh i see thank you :)
Am I the only one having this problem? I'm playing on the browser version (biggest mistake ever) and I'm stuck on this part. No matter what I do, I can't get past this text box.
Enter is not working? It works for me...
If it still doesn't work, then it's better to download the demo 😅
Thank you!
i'm OBSESSED, this was so good omggg, the ending had me so shocked, even this demo is so well made, definitely will be waiting for the full game!!
Cadê a tradução Brasileira?😭😭😭
Okay I just wanna say- that this is the first ever demo that I've played all the way through, and was so disappointed that it already ended. Literally this has become one of my favorite visual novels ever in existence, and I literally cannot wait for the full release!! <33
ughhh I love this sm. it reminds me of all those webtoons, and its damn good. though I will say, she has so much more willpower than I do rotflmaoooooo
