To celebrate Valentine’s Day, Bellhouse (the publishing arm of Studio Élan) released the demo for its newest release Love in a Bottle by Lovelandisle. The full release is set on April 2nd.
Since it’s still a demo, the game is short, but the full game is expected to be a few hours long if you play multiple routes. Plus, you’ll get R18 content in a future optional patch (for the full game).
You can try it out yourself on Steam or Itchio!
You can also follow lovelandisle on Twitter and Tumblr or join Studio Élan’s Discord Server.

Meet the Girls!
Ankora
Love Demon – Protagonist – 240 y.o. – 5’5″
“Things will be different this time…”
Ankora is a cheery and optimistic person, but for a love demon, she’s surprisingly uncharismatic. Always tries to see the best in everyone, even her enemies. A huge people person and gets depressed if left alone for too long. A little bit of a pervert.
Bastyllias
Goddess – Dating Candidate ♡ – ageless – 7’0″
“Your sins will not be forgiven. That isn’t my responsibility.”
Bastyllias once commanded immense power and respect, but her worshippers had a crisis of faith, resulting in a loss of most of her power. Now she lives a meager life in a cheap apartment eating chips and instant ramen. Fluctuates between frigid stoicism and turning on the princely charm depending on what the situation calls for. Intimidating, either way.
Clymene
Siren – Dating Candidate ♡ – 30 y.o. – 6’0″
“You’re so cute, wasting so much time on a person like me!”
Clymene is outwardly pleasant, but she holds a deep-seated distrust and disdain for humanity at large. Her sweet words are a veneer for her vitriolic misanthropy. This is easy to overlook if you get distracted by her good looks and soothing voice. Knows her way around the entertainment industry. Spins a good story, whether they’re true or not.
Guinevere
Ghost – Dating Candidate ♡ – 29 y.o. at death – 5’2″
“You seem fun. Why don’t you play with me for a while? Heehee…”
Guinevere is a well-mannered lady with a refined background, though her true nature is a little more capricious and playful. She died under mysterious circumstances. Her polite composure will quickly drop if there’s competition on the line. Treats others sort of like toys. Loves chickens.
Sandy
Lycanthrope – Dating Candidate ♡ – 24 y.o. – 5’8″
“What? What?? Go away! …Unless you brought a snack for me.”
While initially Sandy may seem harsh and unaccommodating, she’s actually just shy. She was forced to set out at a young age and drift from place to place. Her behavior is still a little undomesticated. Works as a waitress at a café. Can nap anywhere.
… and more!
