Mahou Show-Jo
A downloadable Seagull Feeder for Windows, macOS, and Linux
In Dub City, magical girls are the first line of defense and the most popular form of entertainment.
Joanna Jourdaine was once the most promising star on the scene. Seven years later, she's now working in a comfortable, if somewhat boring role as a technician for Magical Girls Inc. Although she's content with her life, now and then she finds herself wishing she was back on stage.
After all, headphones and an imaginary audience are no substitute for the real thing.

Holy shit, I just played this game on my stream and I utterly adore it! The writing, worldbuilding, and music are so damn good. I love the characters (and want to cosplay as Hannah so bad, for real!) and I would really love to see where y'all take this concept. The fact that you made this in 2 weeks blows my mind! Seriously, you guys did a great job and now this is one of my favorite visual novels. <3
Love the little VHS thing or whatever it's called, it was so cute changing the music in such a way and the character design were brilliant!, as well as the art and music and story plot, Although I started getting bored after a few minutes of playing it. But keep up the good work!
Absolutely adored this - I would pay good money for a full version! This is a world that I want to spend more time in ^_^
Thank you so much for the kind words! We'd really love to come back to this world at some point, but real life and other projects keep us from doing so. Still, always happy to see new people that have played this and enjoy it <3
I loved every bit of it, only wish there was more. This is the first time i've found city pop in a game. Fantastic work.
Yeah, this was made when we were at peak Future Funk / City Pop hype, haha. Glad you enjoyed!
I absolutely enjoyed the OST on this one!
Magic ways is the best
Glad you enjoyed it! The music was definitely one of our favorite parts of this (as you might be able to tell :v)
This is amongst my favourite Ren'Py games so far, i loved the tape player especially (though it has given me copyright headaches!!) I included it in my Ren'Py Jam Part 4 video, i hope you don't mind!
Thanks so much for the coverage! Sorry the tracks gave you copyright issues, don't know why that happened...
It was so great watching you play through the game and just get everything. Glad you enjoyed!
Hey, thanks for the message. It was totally my pleasure, thanks for making it and letting us play it. Its such a cool game, i loved the style of it and the walkman was a really clever idea and I loved your choice of songs which I left in, forget about the copyright issues!
Bug report: The game seems to crash not long into the first scene at the gym.
Error log:
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.
While running game code:
File "game/script.rpy", line 3248, in script
jump postbranch
ScriptError: could not find label 'postbranch'.
(Liking the game so far, btw!)
Thanks for letting me know! Squashed that bug right quick.
