About This Game
Story
The human world accepted as reality is only a thin veneer under which lies a world of supernatural creatures, entities, and people. They live beside humans hiding their nature or walking among them unseen. And most people go about their lives entirely unaware of the dangers around them. Mysterious situations are written off as fake, or they're glossed over with some sort of mundane explanation.The same was true for Nora, a normal girl struggling with the usual litany of everyday problems - including her crumbling relationship with an angry, resentful twin brother with whom she's nearly given up on reconciling.
But her family's return to the town in which she'd grown up set in motion a chain of events that would shatter every illusion she had about a world she thought she knew. Her eyes newly opened to the truth around her, Nora begins a journey to uncover the secrets of her own mysterious past and the reason for her brother's bitter hatred toward her. Alongside her best friend, and a group of unusual guys she met after her return, Nora begins to chip away at the lies shrouding her life. Lies that have been haunting her since childhood.
But in a world where Vampires, Werewolves, and Faeries are real, learning the truth may come at a high cost.

User Reviews
This a fun visual novel. The female main character has a developed personality and there are other female characters she has an array of different relationships with, some good, some bad, some in-between. I could hear the inflection the characters would use when talking despite there not actually being voice acting, so strong writing in that regard. While some parts of the story overlap the routes they are still rather unique so it's worthwhile to play through each of them. I also enjoyed the music and there seem to be many different backgrounds/locations to see which help make the world come alive. I also really like that most characters who speak have portraits in this game (it is kind of a pet peeve of mine in VNs if only the romanceable or "important" characters get portraits, it makes the world feel small). Two minor issues. I play in full screen mode, and sometimes if I click certain areas of my screen I am brought to my desktop, the game is still playing in a tab and I can eas...
I loved the characters and the fae lore twisted in the plot
Honestly I did this a bit backwards as i stumbled upon Gilded shadows first and completed a good chunk of that game before getting this one. would i recommend it? absolutely 100%, I have only completed Elliot and Marc so far, I am a bit disappointed about the uneven photos from these routes but having played one that has little lore versus one with more i can kinda understand.
love it
