Overview
HuangmeiC (黄莓C) is a comedic visual novel from developer and publisher ParadoxSoft (悖论软件), released on October 30, 2026. The game casts you as Xiaohai, a newly hired employee at Development Department 13 who is immediately "forced" to take on a mission that will decide the department's future: make a gal game.
What follows is a chaotic blend of office comedy, odd jobs, and the gradual rebuilding of a department that others dismiss as a "shady, no-name" outfit.
Highlights
- Visual Novel / RPG Hybrid: The game blends classic visual novel storytelling with RPG elements, letting you navigate dialogue choices and character interactions that shape the department's path.
- Anime-Style 2D Presentation: With 2D art and an anime aesthetic, the game leans into the visual novel genre while also featuring 2D platformer segments, adding variety beyond pure text.

Who It's For
If you enjoy comedic visual novels about game development, office life, or the behind-the-scenes chaos of creative teams, HuangmeiC should be on your radar. The game's self-aware humor about making a gal game, combined with its RPG and platformer elements, makes it a good fit for players who like narrative-driven indie titles with a playful tone.
It's also suitable for those who appreciate anime-style art and interactive fiction with a lighthearted, satirical edge.
