FFS, Another Northern Duke (Spicy)
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
There's only one goal here: survive. Seduce the Duke?!
Full Spicy version of the Fantasy + Romance + Slice-of-Life game entry for the Winter Visual Novel Jam 2023 by the combined collaborative studio, Chthonic Chrome Studio, made up of PDRRook and Dom (The Cottage Workshop).
The following game is the Spicy version of the Full game, containing NSFW content (scroll for more info).
SFW version: [Here]
Expelled from the modern world into a novel, you occupy the body of a minor villainess, on her way to marry the beastly Duke of the North.
(Why does that sound familiar...)
Your mission? To have him falling for you. Should be easy, right?
Or maybe this is all a dream?
You decide.
- Customizable Female MC (clothes and appearance) who interacts with the world in two (choosable) ways,
- Story-rich visual novel (VN) with both plot-affecting choices + flavor choices,
- Romantic + Platonic choices/scenes,
- Landscape backgrounds with variations + 18 CGs,
- [Spicy: 4 additional scenes + 5 additional CGs]
- Mini items CGs + chibi CGs,
- 5 ending achievements to collect,
- In-game endings guide in achievements (after completing one ending),
- Over 100k words and around 10-11 hours of play time (one ending),
- Your guide - a sassy bird who talks shit!
- One (1) Male Romance Option:
Duke of the North - Cold and stoic, your new 'betrothed' is said to be an untamable beast rather than a man. Despite those rumors, there's something undeniably soft about him...
Roy Venn Varley (right) - Duke's advisor for everything ranging from the dukedom to the royal family. The words he says are kind on the surface, but don't you know that he's toxic?
Kal Umnia (left) - A holy paladin of The All-Encompassing, and Duke's personal knight. For such a devout man, he sure has a mouth on him.
Zofia (right) - One of the maids. Loyal to a fault, serious and knowledgeable.
Cassandra (left) - Your personal maid, sent to the manor all the way from the Capital City. She's elegant and well-mannered, with an excitable side to her.
Kid - The game's mascot. Just kidding, he's your pet guide. Foul-mouthed and rude, he's not exactly the most favorable company to have, but at least you're not alone.

Hi, i bought the game on steam but I'd love to be able to play it on my phone instead of my pc. Is there a way to play it on my phone feom steam or something? ๐ค
As far as we're aware, Steam as a platform only offers desktop/PC versions. Currently, the only way to play FFSAND?! on mobile (Android) is to purchase the mobile version on Itch.io. Hope that helps!
Thank you ๐ ๐
Ayo, so we just came across this, maybe that would be what you're interested in?
https://store.steampowered.com/remoteplay
Oh thank you so much! I'll try this ๐ฎ ๐
Hey, I've downloaded the Android version twice and I haven't been able to install (despite having plenty of space and allowing unverified sources).
Edit: updated my OS to the latest and it works now!
Glad to hear it ๐!!!
immediate 10/10 for having an innocent sub ML. idk why everyone's raving about roy when duke literally exists?? duke is absolutely one of the best RO's i have encountered in a vn, and im so glad there's a happily ever after ending for him and the mc together. this vn is worth every dime. the romance is so sweet, the banter is so funny, the entire cast is charming, and its literally days worth of gameplay. well done!

im gonna keep this short since you asked for no spoilers in your comments. im just gonna say: WTF?!?!? u know what u did.
Thank you for the review ๐ฅบ!!! We have noticed there are people who love Duke, Roy, or everyone ๐คฃ
And thank you for respecting the no spoilers ๐!!! Also, hee hee ๐คญ
Hello is there any guide available? Thanks a lot in advance!
As is stated on the main page under the โmore infoโ, the guide is included in the game. The guide can be accessed via the โachievementsโ button after completing one (whichever) ending.
Hi, I'm interested in this game, but I'm not sure if it'll suit me or not because of some of the themes and I came here to look for some information - mainly hoping for people talking about it. But since the only comment that had related spoilers seem to had them removed, I need to ask I guess?
First thing is - it's said the MC finds herself in the body of a vilainess, and it also says something about it being a choice if this is serious or a dream? And we know she may interact with the world in two chosable ways. Does that mean we get to pick if she takes the whole thing seriously or thinks it's a dream? Does that mean we can't determine the way she acts aside from that? As in, if she has a nicer or less nice disposition and what not - I'm always wary of the "villainess" trope since I don't like playing "bad" MCs.
Second and most important. To me, there is no bigger trigger in fiction than isekai stories that end in "going back to their homeworld". It gives me genuine panic attacks, and I have to seek information out beforehand if I want to play an isekai game, just to be sure such endings can be avoided (and still be considered a good ending - no stuff like "you can stay but it's a bad end"), otherwise it'll ruin the entire game for me anyway and it'll get me upset for days. So yeah, the question is - taking that into account, CAN I even play this game? The page seems to imply 5 endings, but well, if there is like a single good ending that's about going back to MC's homeworld, and all the rest are bad endings, that won't help me much haha.
Sorry if these seem like annoying questions. I wish I could control that trigger of mine, but sadly at this point I know there is no helping it.
The main idea for the game is exploring the setting from the perspective of an MC who wants to stay in the new world, so regardless of whether MC (initially) thinks she's dreaming or not, she never returns to her 'home world' in any of the endings.
Additionally, MC doesn't act like a villainess in-game because there's no reason or need for her to act or pretend to be someone else (she's meeting people who never knew or interacted with the 'original villainess' at all, so she can connect with them as herself).
That said, please play the demo first (found [here]) to make sure the characters and choices presented are to your liking. The demo takes an hour to finish and consists of 20k words, which should be enough to let you know if you dislike the game or its premise.
Thank you so much! And with what you said, I know I should be fine, though thanks for the link, I'll check it out! I somehow missed the demo!
Thank YOU for checking out the game ๐!
heloo! im so interested in this game and want to buy it especially with the spicy version. but unfortunately i cant pay with paypal/CC and i saw the game also listed in Steam which i can pay in there. but will it include the spicy version? or wont because Steam restrictions? thank you very much!
Hello, hello ๐! Yes, actually! It's because of the spicy version that we had to mark the game as having Adult content on Steam๐คฃ
To be clear: There is a choice in the beginning for the Steam version where you can choose to play the game with or without spicy scenes/CGs!
I left this as a review but I figured I'd comment as well. I remember playing the demo a long while back and was so excited when the full game released and WOW. If you're hesitant on whether to get or not, please please please do! Its definitely worth it!
Now onto the game, I adored the characters. They are so diverse and felt different from the next, consistent in their character too. The relationships you develop felt natural. I really liked the switch in lingo from speaking to those of the dukedom to Kid. Kid's interactions were hilarious. I adore the sub verse of expectation regarding the usual isekai cold duke stereotype for a shy and romantic one. He was adorable. I enjoyed every moment of the banter, flirting and wholesomeness for the romance route I chose. The spicy scenes were also VERY nice. The art is gorgeous, the outfits, backgrounds and sprites are beautiful.
The bittersweet moments that occurs is so well done. The balance of angst, comedy and heartwarming moments were phenomenal. I very much HIGHLY recommend this game, (spicy vers or not)!
Thank you so much for the sweet review ๐ฅบ We're glad that you enjoyed it so much!!! ๐ญ
But please refrain from posting spoilers on the main page! ๐
(On that note, love the reactions to the endings ๐)
Yes, sorry! I went ahead and updated/shortened my comment to remove major spoilers/anything that could be spoiler-y. <3
You guys did an amazing job, I'm looking forward to any other projects or games you might create!
Thank you so much!!! ๐
And thank you, we're definitely looking forward to creating some more stuff ๐
Okay so l bought the game a day again and OMG what a world wind it has been. I have yet to finish the entire game but to avoid spoilers I will only say I'm a little over the part when Roy comes back from the palace/meeting. I honestly love the game more then l thought l would. Each plot twist just intrigues me more. The characters themselves are easy to get attached to especially Duke. Plus there is a lot of story, every time I think I finished there is more to it. And can l just say the art is absolutely gorgeous especially the ones in the gallery. Although l don't know for sure if there will be a continuation to the game (which l would immediately purchase) I am very much satisficed with what I've so far played. Also since im not fully done with the game, im praying for a win for the mc. Well for the mc and every character, they need something good to happen and hopefully during the rest of my play through something good will happen. While checking some comments before purchasing some have mentioned how they would like other route and I very much agree with them. Anything bonus to the story is a win in my books. At last this is the end and lm off to play more of amazing visual novel. =)
(Also to anybody considering buying this visual novel, PLEASE DO, I PROMISE ITS WORTH IT)
Me again and im am left in absolute mess, like bad things happen and then something amazing happened and well to avoid spoiler's l got my ending .
I think it was ending 2 of 5, A promise
Ahhhhhh!!! Thank you for the detailed review ๐ฅบ!!! Loved reading every line ๐
We're happy that people are loving the game, and want more tbh! ๐
Adjaiosdjasi we love the follow-up comment, too ๐คฃ
Hmm, the file is definitely available ๐ค There could be a lot of reasons why a file isn't downloading, but you can try checking [here] for more information and see if that helps.
If the problem persists, you might have to contact Itch.io's support [here].
That's great to hear ๐ Hope you enjoy! ๐
The game is amazing! Can't seem to find a guide for it, is there one? :)
The guide is unlocked in the Achievements screen (the trophy in the main menu) after you complete one ending.
I love everything about Duke. That said, i'd def pay for Roy, Kal, Kid, Cass, or even Shapeshifter kitty DLC's. Like take your time, think it over, but also gimme! JKJK. Kinda.
Thank you for the massive love for the characters ๐ฅบ๐คฃ
So good!
Thank you ๐
Damn, didn't realize there's a spicy version until now. I downloaded the demo and came back to that page to buy the game. That page has the unseasoned version. Someone please privately hit me up with spoilers so I know what's different.
The difference in the builds is as the titles suggest. Don't worry, you didn't miss any plot content, only 4 additional scenes and 5 CGs.
And please refrain from posting spoilers directly on the main page, thank you! ๐
Loved the story so much! But why can't we date Roy instead of the Duke?? The advisor is hilarious!
Aww, thank you for loving the story and Roy ๐! Glad to see people are finding him hilarious ๐
Because Duke is the RO ๐ But we'll think about it :)
Please, we need to date Roy! The guy is hot and funny <3
Looks really interesting! Thank you for the customizable female MC and the nsfw version!))
p.s. text speed button would be much appreciated)
Thank you for your comment ๐
Text Speed bar has been added to the preferences!
Will this game be at steam? In some countries it is not possible to buy games here...
Not at the moment due to the cost associated with uploading a game on Steam, but we'll look into it later :)
Hi, first of all congrats on the full development of the game! I've loved the demo and can't wait to play. That said I inadvertently purchased both versions of your game (sfw/nsfw) and I was wondering if it would be possible to cancel the purchase of the sfw version and get a refund? I was only interested in the nsfw version and didn't notice the download was on another page so in my hastiness I started the purchase on the sfw page.
Hey there! You'll have to go to the link below and contact support because we don't handle returns.

Thank you for the prompt reply!
No problem! Good luck!
