Parfum Nostalgique

Parfum Nostalgique is a kinetic visual novel that details a small but eventful window of time in the life of 265 year old vampire. A therapist by day and a dom by night, Valdemar Andressen is a true eccentric, whose sustained sanity can be attributed to his comfortable city lifestyle and constant drunkenness on the feelings of humans around him. A story of friendship, tragedy, and unconditional love that explores the conflict between moral personhood and the human necessity of wearing different masks, Parfum Nostalgique is a coming of age for those who have already come of age, or what some would call a “midlife crisis,” told from the point of view of an immortal man who hasn’t stopped living like a single man in his 30s for over 2 centuries.

An ordinary midlife crisis would be juicy on its own, but our Valdemar Andressen is anything but an ordinary person…. Slip into the platform boots of an already too tall 265-year-old therapist-by-day, dom-by-night vampire as he navigates the complexities of love, sex, friendship, the consequences of his actions, confronting his own mortality, the fragility of existence on a floating rock in the endless sea of space, and other lighthearted everyday challenges that come from centuries of life experience. Parfum Nostalgique is a heartfelt tale about the people who change us, for better and for worse. From betrayal to unconditional love, from regret to hope… see the drama unfold between exes and lovers, old friends and new, when you dive into this kinetic visual novel dram-com series. With delicate vintage shoujo-inspired art, original soundtrack, and a diverse cast of voice actors, Parfum Nostalgique is a lovingly handmade passion project packaged with sweets and scented with roses by sole developer Prince Rosalium for your reading pleasure.
