What is Ego Holic?
Ego Holic is a dark BL (Boys Love/BxB) Visual Novel on the supernatural side, currently in development by qb;studios.
This game will be rated 18+ for NSFW content (warnings for language, blood, adult themes) as well as a PG15 version (can be changed in the preferences).
In the big bustling city Elón, the rich can fulfill their dreams, the middle class is well off, and Espers hunt down illegitimate magical users on witch-hunts.
So, just like any other city.
Leonard Honeywell, a broke witch with no warrant to use magic, stumbles upon an antiquarian bookstore and becomes an employee under... weird circumstances.
Minding his own business, he tries to flee from his past and find a reason in life.
But nobody knows about the Gate that opened, or why Leonard got booted from the Academy (supposedly for killing a fellow student), or that his boss is giving out mysterious tomes for free to people who come to his bookstore.
Next to getting grey hair over this management, Leonard gets to know a lot of people - people who aren't rich. People who can't fulfill their dreams.
People who get hunted.
People who are still yearning for something.
