This is the tale of the self in the shadows and the self in the light. This is the tale of love, betrayal, politics and a curse. And this is the tale of the one whose presence changed these very things.

Rating: R16 for violence and language

Genre: Fantasy, drama, crime (some routes), humor, romance

Summary: The marchioness of the province known as Fidona has decided to hold a fete at the end of the month. People from all walks of life are welcome to come and request a single boon of her: money, troops, marriage, anything they can think of, but she will only grant the wish of the one she deems worthiest.

8 people from all across the continent converge on Fidona, each with a different goal: including our protagonist. Will they find love, friendship, or enmity? Power or ruin? Will they dole out justice, or fall to temptation?

Age: 17
Description: A cheerfully cavalier girl wandering the continent in search of new and exciting experiences. Easy to befriend, hard to tie down.

Gameplay: This will be a VN with items and stats. Your choice of protagonist determines who you can bond with and in what way.

There are four planned romance routes for each protagonist, three heterosexual and one same-sex, as well as two same-sex friendship routes each. Some are easier to survive than others.

Eyepatch = win.

Al's bandaged arm looks longer than the other to me..

I like the idea. Crime VNs are always fun.

Epic character design for the protagonist.

Anyways, all the characters seem strangely young. For realism purposes, it may be worthwhile to add 3 years to everyone's age.

RemnantDream: You're the fourth person to say that about Al's arm. I'll see what I can do to fix it up. (EDIT: Fixed a little)

Greeny: Thanks. I wanted to make sure that the protagonist(s) would look cool enough that people would seriously want to play either of them.

As for the ages, people in pre-20th century times came into positions of power a lot earlier than they do now. If 16 is considered the age of adulthood then these ages make more sense (Katarin's uncle was meant to rule for her until she came of age).

Yay! Finally a game for all X3 Yaoi yaoi yaoi yaoi <3 Can't wait to see what you do :3

is this game out yet ooooooor were do i go to download it?

Oh man, this game isn't even close to being out, as I've been busy working on FA:NG. Rest assured that it's not dead yet, just on hold until my other projects are done.

On the plus side, by the time I come back to this the graphics should be better.
