An unfortunate marriage arranged from birth has forbidden her from the potential of romance in life. Yet, the pain of entrapment would not be so unbearable had it not for her days under the sun.

  • Customise the female protagonist's name.
  • In the final game, there will be seven endings, two for each myth you start with, and one neutral outcome.
  • 5k words in the DEMO, most of which is split between variations, so you won't see all of them in one playthrough.
  • One love interest. And half of another. 

The contents within the demo of the game are not a reflection of the complete product. As such, we're inclined to be forward about what's to be expected about the final game instead of what is already shown.
Warning for DEMO contents Dubious consent, depression, anxiety, forced marriage, unwanted touching.
Warning for COMPLETE contents Sexual: Extremely rough sex with willing participants, sexual assault, dubious consent, nudity, gendered body part description, choking, somnophilia, forced servitude.

Mental: Loss of judgement, depression, anxiety, addiction, implication of suicide, references to parental neglect, religious ecstasy, drug abuse, emotional abuse, gaslighting.

Physical: Nudity, murder, torture, confinement, blood, death, abandonment, violence.

I wish I had more time to polish the game but both of us are very tired and the next update you'll get is the final game.

SUPER LOVED THIS GAME, WOOOOW!! ✧(>o<)ノ✧

First of all, I really hope the devs are doing well. Please take care of yourselves and get plenty of rest! (๑˘︶˘๑)♡ Now, onto the game. OMG, from the moment I saw the page design, I just knew I was gonna love it! The art, the aesthetics, the dialogue, and the word choices?? Perfection! (ฅ>ω<ฅ) And our LI?? A total hottie!! I love his attitude, and the way he switches up his mannerisms is so fun to watch.

One small suggestion I wanted to mention is the text alignment and font! Since I’m super used to left-aligned text, seeing it right-aligned did throw me off a bit, haha. (°▽°) I was wondering if that was a design choice? If so, maybe there could be an option to toggle to left alignment as well? As for the font, the pixel style was a bit tricky to read, especially with the right alignment. Would it be possible to consider an OpenDyslexic font option? It could really help with readability! (๑•́‧̫•̀๑)

Either way, this was such an amazing experience. Thank you for all your hard work! (づ。◕‿‿◕。)づ

(❁´◡`❁) Thank you so much for your love and support <3 It really warmed us to hear from the players. I hope you'll enjoy the final game too! 

I've pushed up a new build with right-aligned text and a small instruction on how to customise the font, since I can't code it into the settings yet, but I'll make it more accessible in the final build <3 Thank you again for letting us know about the problems!

Aww, you're so welcome! (´。• ᵕ •。`) I'm really glad my feedback could help! The new build sounds awesome, and I appreciate you making things more accessible even before the final release. Can't wait to see how everything comes together. Thank you again for being so responsive and kind!
