What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“In order to create the most polished visual novel, we realized publishing this game chapter by chapter is the optimal way. We have a community where we discuss the story events and characters, which helps us stay on track with what the players would like to see.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We estimate the game will be in Early Access until Q1 2025. A time plan is posted in the discussions.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We plan for the full version to have seven chapters and partial voice acting.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Six out of seven chapters are fully written and playable.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“There will be a price increase when the last chapter is finished.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Community feedback is very important for this game's development. I (the writer) love hearing your suggestions about the romances (Ran and Kaisar) and character conflicts. I can add more choices and consequences based on player suggestions. Because this story is a murder mystery, I can also fix any sneaky mistakes to make the logic perfect.”

You wake up in a strange place, only to realize you have been abducted along with seven other people. A city guard, a royal soldier, a witch, a bard, a librarian, and two criminals - all captured and brought together by an unknown force.

A demonspawn appears, delivering a chilling message: there are demonhearts among you - people blessed with regeneration, but cursed to be hunted by everyone else. You know the truth: you're one of them. And you'll do anything to keep your secret safe.

As tensions rise and trust erodes, mysterious deaths start to occur. Can you trust anyone? Amidst the chaos, you may find yourself drawn to one of your fellow captives.

Will you survive the demonspawn's trial?
