• Grab an ice cream at Shifty's! If you ask nicely, he'll even make it look like you!

History: 

HYADES was first conceptualized in November 2018 by majimjam, who worked on the project solo until about May 2019, when the first version of the demo’s “bearta” edition was released.  Slowly over time, more members began to become interested and work on the project until the demo’s full release in July 2020. In addition, a spin-off visual novel named “HYADES: Celestial Buddies Vol. 1” starring two of HYADES’ main party members, Anise Hircus and Ruth Crocuta, was released to celebrate the project’s 1 year anniversary of conception in November 2019.
