It shows the six main characters in a forest changing from autumn to spring. From left to right: Robin peaks out from behind Maeve, pointing toward Shae. Maeve stands facing away from the Seelie, with an almost uncomfortable expression, Flannán stares at the Seelie with an unknown but seemingly icy intent, as a wisp dances by his head.

The Good People (Na Daoine Maithe) is a lore-rich and choice-driven historical fantasy visual novel inspired by Irish mythology and Celtic folklore. Play as a tenant farmer from mid-19th century Ireland, whose path becomes inexplicably entwined in fairy affairs after getting robbed by the roadside and lured into the mythic and war-torn world of Tír na nÓg: A once unified land, now divided into the Seelie and Unseelie Courts. Will you escape and return home with your stolen belongings? Or does fate have something else in mind?
MEET THE CAST
While trapped in this strange and storied land, you meet six members of the Tuatha Dé Danann ("Tribe of the Goddess Danu"), split evenly between the rivalling Seelie and Unseelie Courts. Who will you trust, befriend — romance? In either case, you'd best be careful. Fairies are a capricious sort, and liable to pull you into their own agendas...

FACTS & QUESTIONS
•
The Good People (Na Daoine Maithe) is a Kickstarter-funded project currently in development. Due to the scope of the story, we will be releasing it serially over several years, discounted while in early access. The earlier it's bought, the cheaper it will be overall.
•
Not all routes are currently available! As of Dec. 21, 2025, you can play the first eight chapters of Shae and Maeve's routes (current total word count: 111k) and a side story starring Shae's sister, Brigid. If you're not sure about paying for early access, feel free to check out our free demo first. It consists of Vol. 1, Book of the Traveller (the pre-route content). Differences between the demo's Vol. 1 and the paid game's Vol. 1 are marginal following our August 1, 2024 re-release of the demo.
•
The Good People (Na Daoine Maithe) has a recommended reading order (Vol. 1, then 2, then 3, etc.), which will correspond to the release order of the routes.
•
Due to its setting, The Good People (Na Daoine Maithe) will occasionally feature instances of characters speaking in Gaeilge, i.e. the Irish language. All instances of Gaeilge are linked to an internal translation tool, which is voiced by Nigel McKeon, a Gaeilgeoir.
•
The main character is yours to shape. At minimum, you must choose a nickname, pronouns, and one of four default appearances, the last of which can be your own artwork (instructions are included in the game's files). You may also choose to discard the True Name...
•
All routes, both current and upcoming, will have both romantic and platonic choice options. If you're uninterested in romance, you can make friends instead! No matter the nature of your relationship, you will still be able to reach the good end. Or the bad one.
•
Our cast consists of two men, two women, and two non-binary characters. All are romancable no matter the MC, but some characters are asexual or on the aromantic spectrum, which may impact aspects of their romances.
•
There are secrets to be found in this game, with more yet to come. Prepare yourself for a lot of horse related shenanigans. 🐎
