Ajestremia is a fantasy visual novel by Maidz, built in Ren'Py with a 2D CG art style. You play as the guard of Ajestremia, shaping the story through choices that lead toward romance or exploration. The game blends narrative decisions with turn-based combat, and your path can branch into multiple endings. It includes adult themes.
Development is ongoing, with version 0.9.1 released on September 26, 2026 for Windows and Linux in English and French. The current build is uncensored. The update also completes the first chapter of Edelweiss's romance with a new illustration and story scene, adds three sprites for her, introduces an unnamed new character, and starts character customization by giving the main character a cosmetic layer after a special encounter.
Developer's description
Embark on a journey as the guard of Ajestremia.
Choose between a thrilling romance or epic explorations and shape your story in this Visual Novel where every decision carves out your adventure.
What's new in version 0.9.1 :
Edelweiss romance first arc conclusion !
This update closes the first part of Edelweiss's romance
with a dedicated illustration and story beat meant
towrap this chapter properly.
3 new Edelweiss sprites
(2 clearly visible, 1 more subtle but useful in practice) to give her more life in dialogue and scenes.
This does not mean her story is over forever. Depending on community interest (and future polls), I may revisit this route from time to time. For now, this first chapter is complete.
A new character Someone new joins the adventure in this update. I will not say more here. Play the game and discover them yourself.
Character customization , first step forward :
This update adds a new cosmetic layer for the main character after a special encounter.
A new visual detail is now attached to your hero (like hair, skin tone, eye color, and equipment).
It also shows up in dialogue sprites, not only on the map. If you had unlocked it before leaving Eden, it would already appear in conversations the same way.
Customization is still limited for now (mostly colors and a few options), but this is the start of a system I want to expand over time.
What's new in version 0.8.0 :
Crafting & new recipes (Edelweiss)
I spent more time on the
artisan / crafting
system.
Edelweiss
now gives you a
quest chain
to unlock
three new recipes
.
She's kind enough to also give you
one sample of each
crafted item when
you finish.
Bramble Ointment
(2 Bramble + 1 Parasite)
: Restores
10 HP
. In combat only,
also grants
+2 Defense
during fight.
This was my first step toward
combat item effects
.
Honestly, it might feel a bit weak right now.
I may buff it later.
Your feedback is welcome.
Parasitic Elixir
(1 Parasite + 1 Pure Water) :
Restores
10 MP
. Water is one of the few ways to recover MP in the game.
Dirty water
gives
1 MP
,
pure water
gives
5 MP
. Mixing parasite + water gives a stronger
mana boost
, which should be useful later.
Blackened Meat
(1 Pork Meat + 2 Infected Blood) : Restores
30 HP
when used.
In combat
, eating it has a
50% chance to inflict Confusion
. It's meant as a
last resort
item with real risk. Many players hoard meat in the forest. As you level up, max HP grows, so raw meat feels less exciting. This recipe
upgrades
meat, but with a cost.
Most players who reach the end of what
0.7.0
should have enough materials to try these recipes. This update is also a good way to
test
the crafting loop and quest.
Crafting UI improvements :
M
uch more readable
than before. I added a
background
, improved
sorting
, and included
before / after screenshots
in this post so you can compare. The default font is still the base Ren'py one for now. That will improve over time.
Map expansion:
The world map is
slightly bigger
. The game is still in the
forest phase
with Edelweiss, so the map does not change dramatically yet, but exploration has a bit more room.
Quest journal tutorial:
I added a small tutorial in the
quest notebook
about a new
icon
for
completed quests
. It stays
discrete
on the UI. When you click it, it shows
all quests you have already completed / validated
.
Update focus :
This release is more about
quests, combat, and crafting
. I want Ajestremia to be more than romance only updates. Romance stays important, but
gameplay systems
matter too. I hope that becomes clearer over time.
Duration :
Depends on how much you explore crafting and Edelweiss's quest line. Expect roughly
15 minutes
of new or reworked content if you engage with these systems.
Since version 1.1, over
2h30+
of content has been added to the game.
Bug fixes :
Mostly minor fixes. One important one:
map combat events could re-trigger
after you finished the fight, then talked to a character or used camp. Leaving camp could start the same combat again. That is
fixed
. Once you clear the fight, it stays cleared even if you camp or talk nearby. If you want to farm fights, use
another map point
instead.
Save compatibility:
Same as before. Load your latest save from a previous version, confirm it works, then you can remove the old build if you want.

Quest Journal Tutorial
A tutorial for the quest notebook has been added,
making it much easier to track your objectives.
Duration
This update adds approximately 15 to 35 minutes of new content, depending on your choices and exploration. Since version 1.1, over 1h40+ of content has been added to the game.
Version numbering change
Starting with this update, I'm switching from the old versioning system (1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4...) to a proper development format: 0.X.0.
Version 1.5 becomes version 0.5.0.
Why? Because the game is still in development, and the "1.X" format implied a finished product, which it isn't yet. The 0.X.0 format better reflects that this is an evolving project. Version 1.0.0 will be reserved for the full release.
Nothing changes for you as a player — same game, same saves, same content. Just a cleaner version number going forward. Here's the mapping:
1.1 → was 0.1.0
1.2 → was 0.2.0
1.3 → was 0.3.0
1.4 → was 0.4.0
1.5 → is now 0.5.0
From now on, updates will follow the 0.X.0 format (0.6.0, 0.7.0, etc.).
v1.4

Update planning:
An update that will undoubtedly be appreciated
by men of culture!
Save compatibility :
Yes!
Your saves from version 1.1 are compatible
with version 1.2
launch it, and load your last save point
(i recommend using the save with the "work in progress
" image but you can use any save ).
The game should resume without issues.
Once you've confirmed everything works correctly,
you can safely delete version 1.1 and continue
playing from version 1.2.
v1.1
I decided to update the game with a complete global overhaul!
What's changed
Story revised and corrected
The story from version 1.0 has been revised with new
repetitive choices for curious players who want to learn
more about characters and the universe.
For those who want to skip long dialogue, there's always
an escape from conversations.
Combat system completely reprogrammed
I spent a long time reprogramming and adding new features
to the combat system.
It looks much less cheap than the previous one and
I'm sure you'll clearly see the difference.
New NSFW scene
A new erotic NSFW scene that wasn't in 1.0. I heard your
requests and added it!
Customization system
New character customization system with eye, hair
and skin colors that are reflected in illustrations.
In the future, I'll add new hairstyles, eye types, other colors,etc.

Xx_Gamerdad-69_xX2026-02-03★★★★★
[v1.3] Right off the bat - loud music that's not attributed to any of the volume sliders and has to be adjusted with your OS's volume mixer. Also, I don't understand why the sidebar with equipment/inventory/map/questlog is present at all…
doodoofart7152024-02-26★★★★★
Amazingly well done art, going in I didn't know how much I would like the art until now, seriously great job, the story was a little hard to follow though, and the dialogue confused me a little but besides that…
LS472024-02-26★★★★★
A very cute game. The artstyle took some time to grow on me. It must have been the characters' proportions, but I wasn't a fan initially, even if I'm glad to see a more unique artstyle when most VNs nowadays…
