Shaste Games is a connected world of free visual novel games and web serial novels created by indie developer Shaste. All games and stories share one interconnected universe — characters cross between titles, locations appear in multiple games, and a deeper mystery connects everything together.

Play five visual novel games for free on Steam and Itch.io: Love & Life (romance dating simulator), Chimera Haven (fantasy creature bonds), Elyra: Eden of Sins (dark fantasy RPG), Massage Parlor (slice of life), and Home Haven (life simulation). All games are built with Ren'Py and available on Windows, with web browser versions on Itch.io.

Read two web serial novels for free on Royal Road and Scribble Hub: Opposite Shifts, an ongoing mature romance with 45+ chapters, and a new isekai LitRPG harem novel launching March 2026. Patreon supporters get 15 chapters ahead across all novels.

Support Shaste from anywhere in the world through Patreon, Ko-fi, Steam purchases, PIX (Brazil), Wise international transfers, or cryptocurrency. Community channels include Discord, Steam Hub, Reddit, and F95zone.
