TITLE | HUNT OF THE UNICORN

SYNOPSIS
A pall has fallen over the Cyngur Estate. A body is discovered impaled on the fence line, without so much as a name or reason, and with no trace of the killer. The young ward of the estate, Manon, finds herself caught in the mess, as evidence of the murderer's intentions surface.
The truth is at her fingertips, but how much is she willing to risk to unmask the murderer?

A short mystery-romance set in the tumultuous 1910s.

The 1910's is a cool period, although I know more about America than France at that time. The logo is fantastic. c:

I like the first drawing of the protagonist. It's exaggerated just a bit. Though I worry that a somewhat cute and not-too-realistic drawing style might not fit well with a murder-mystery story.

Sounds interesting. I'm curious as to how this will work. How many of the choices will have clear outcomes which the reader can understand? How many choices will have outcomes which will be difficult to understand, or somewhat vague?

This seems really original! Eveything: plot, characters, ambientation... I can't wait to play!^^

QUESTION: The order/heart routes are for both guys? Or one guy has the 'order' route and the other one the 'heart' route?
