Comments:

Catherine managed to pass the entrance exams to the elite Academy of Magic, where either the select few, or the rich, or the clever, or the lucky ones with manna from heaven in their pockets go. However, the conditions under which the institution accepted Catherine would certainly not have appealed to beggars. Catherine borrowed a huge sum from the Royal Treasury, which would cover several years of study at the Academy of Magic. Life in the middle of the kingdom is not cheap either, so every day of the girl goes in hard work: studying until late afternoon and working until late at night - and you have to get up with the first rays of the sun.

Power and perspective don't save you from financial shackles, so Catherine is still a contracted prisoner and has very little time to pay back the money she spent on her training. Will she not have time to give it back? There is always a place for an attractive busty woman in the King's harem. In that place, Catherine will enjoy other skills, no longer magical. One will have to bring voluptuous pleasure to the King's body - Catherine is not thrilled about that. There is a possibility to go to the front line, enroll in the Guild of Adventurers and fight the monsters, the first threat to the Kingdom. The wages there are excellent, and you can pay off your debts quickly.

Catherine is an extremely lustful girl, because her body from her youth attracted men and the heroine was turned on by it, but her moral standards did not allow her to drink enough pleasure. Now is a different time, she is strong and free. She can even achieve her goals with her beauty. The player is sure to take part in this. The golden-haired, broad-shouldered Victor, a childhood friend, is constantly hanging around her. Do I give him or is it unimportant? The developers have given the players complete freedom of choice, so now do as you like.

Developer Notes:

I think it goes without saying that this build took WAY longer than any of us predicted. This whole thing started with us having an idea to let you all have some extra customizations for your Catherines, and ended with us completely remaking all of her sprites. Now that we think about it, it wasn't worth it (it absolutely was, we love The Final Catherine™), the sheer amount of work and bugs that came out of this was staggering!

We did our best testing and fixing bugs, but with a game this size, we're sure we missed some things (and it's going to keep us awake tonight), so please let us know if you encounter some bugs in the wild, or if anything looks odd! We'll have that fixed as soon as we can. We did consider holding onto this build a bit longer to be sure, but it didn't feel right delaying it any longer!

Now, what exactly is new here, you may ask? We have a brand new, prettier-than-ever Catherine, complete with a few outfit re-designs, a new hairstyle, and a goth make-up variant to all her expressions! She also comes with several accessory options, including tattoos, lewd writing, piercings, scars, and markings! We plan on adding more and more stuff in future updates, but we hope y'all enjoy the selection we have so far.

As always, we hope you all enjoy this new build, and please let us know what you think about it! 

Summary:

Rise of the White Flower is a cute cartoonish drawing project for an adult audience. Players are offered the story of Katherine Belrose, who dreams of becoming a respected and powerful sorceress in a classic fantasy world. The problem is that, as everywhere, here any path to the goal is strewn with problems and difficulties. And for our heroine - this is a huge debt, which prevents her from starting a free practice, fully gaining knowledge and simply moving from city to city. It is necessary to quickly find the required amount. Otherwise, she will have to play the role of a slave. Which, of course, is absolutely not needed by a young and beautiful girl.
