Where is Mrs Peregrine?
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
Story
"Mrs Peregrine is very precious to Maple. They're inseparable ever since the moment she was born... or so, that's what I heard.
For various reasons, Maple adores her. She is very, very, very cute... She really is! Nobody understands how absolutely adorable she is! She also works so hard! Do you know how cute she is when she's picking the tomatoes? She's really lovely, unlike Mrs Peregrine...
W-WAIT! I-I was definitely not talking about Maple!
*clears throat* Anyway, it's really chilly today, so I'm going to Maple's place to spend my day with her. Mrs Peregrine will be there too, I guess. She should be lounging on the porch -- a boring, I mean, calm activity befitting her age and personality -- as usual.
Huh? She's not there? Where is she?
Is she taking a walk somewhere? In this almost-freezing weather?? Isn't she in a bad health condition recently? Going out in this weather is really bad for her, she could even be in danger! Oh no! Maple's precious family member is missing... I have to find her!"

Jam Relevances
Where Is Mrs Peregrine? was made between November - December 2023, in participation of Nove Jam 2023 and Winter Jam 2023. Both are themed jams:
- Nove Jam 2023's theme is heroes/11: one of the main theme is Cali and Maple's heroic(?) act to look for poor Mrs Peregrine on a very cold day.
- Winter Jam 2023's theme is winter: it has a cosy, warm, and sweet slice-of-life story anyone can enjoy while you're bundled up by the fireplace (or any heater that you own at home). Cali and Maple also get to experience the first snowfall of the year in the story itself, how romantic!
Updates:
v1.16 - First release for Nove Jam 2023! (04 December 2023)
v2.8 - Second release for Winter Jam 2023! Added: extra story, cut-ins, CGs, credit screen. (31 December 2023)

Thanks for making such a warmhearted tale with cute characters and a sweet love story ~ I adore the art style, character designs, and especially all the adorable lil animals. I had fun playing. ^_^
Oooh! Thank you so much for your comment and playthrough! ๐งก I also really appreciate the feedback that you sent with the rating, it's a fresh perspective that gave me a lot of insights! :O
Regarding the repetitive dialogue: you're correct in that. I understand it may look like so, I have a lot to learn to polish my writing more. >,<;; To fit within the time limit while at the same time making the work I enjoy, I could only choose between developing the characters vs. the plot (romance) itself. Both together were a bite too large for me to take at that moment, so I felt that focusing on the romance would be the most satisfying out of both. The story also spans for around half a day, 10(?) hours of time so it's a bit tricky to highlight the characters individually and like the romance at the same time. I agree that it could have been better if I had more writing experience and time.
I really want to learn and overcome these flaws, I hope the next projects will be better. ^~^
Once again, thank you very much for your time to create a playthrough and to write a full review, it's very kind of you! ๐งก๐
You're welcome, it was my pleasure! And all perfectly understandable. It's certainly a daunting task to do so much in so little time! Yet you did very well and have much to be proud of. ^_^
THIS IS SO CUTE OMG I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!! THEYRE SO CUTE the ability to replay the story from maples perspective was an amazing touch too,,,,,,,
thank you sm for making this !!!!!!!
Aaaa I'm touched your kind words, it makes my day! ๐ซถ It was really fun to create the views of/from them, I'm glad you love it! Thank you for loving this VN and for you playing it!! ๐งก๐
What a wonderful and heartwarming game! I was rooting for Cali the whole time, and when the confession scene happened it was so cute to see him get so flustered! The extra was so adorable as well, and I loved seeing the scenes from Maples perspective! I also wanted to mention that seeing Mrs. Peregrine in that shawl added ten years to my life. She's so cute, I love her!!!
The art-style and CG's were absolutely adorable (the hug scenes!!! I couldn't get enough!!!!) and the UI is so pretty!
Amazing work! (ยด๊ณ`)โก
Aah, thank you very much!! ๐งก๐ I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed looking for Mrs Peregrine and seeing the little things on the way too! Hahaha, that's great! ^^ She loves her shawl a lot~ Maple made that for her!
I planned for multiple hugging scenes, and decided that instead of describing them, I drew them all! I'm glad that you love them, that makes the days of working on them felt well paid-off! ;w; The UI was my first shot at making one, I know that there are many potentials to make from it, but for this project it sufficed. It was really fun brainstorming about it too!
I really appreciate you playing Where Is Mrs Peregrine! <3
Cozy and cute! And heartwarming banget <3 <3 <3
Waah thank you very much aaa!! ๐งก๐

thank you for this game <3 it feels like a long and warm hug in a cold winter day. nice and comforting... I didn't even notice the time pass while playing it. thank you! thank you!
Aaaah thank you very much for your kind words!! ;w; It's exactly how I imagined this story to be, a warm and cosy little thing in a cold winter day. I'm glad the feeling went through! And I'm glad the android version worked well! ๐งก๐
Such an adorable visual novel! The artwork is lovely, the characters are very cute, and the story is sweet, touching, and sentimental. I enjoyed the cozy autumn atmosphere of this VN. And I liked how the main menu changed after finishing the reading ^^
