Diane Carter never expected her folklore degree to get her a job offer from the local police department, but when a rash of occult-themed fires sets the city on edge, she is called in as a special consultant on esoteric religion to help find the culprit.

There's just one problem: the woman she's assigned to work with. She's cocky, beautiful, and far too familiar.

Can Diane and Jackie overcome the obstacles of their past and find the truth?

---

This is a yuri VN with a linear plot - it's not kinetic, there are choices, but because of the nature of the story it would be horrendously unsatisfying (IMO) to have multiple endings. There is only one true solution, you just have to find your way there!

Along the way, there are a couple of little minigames where you hunt for clues or secret inspirations:

These are not timed and not designed to be super-difficult or take up a lot of the game. They exist so that you can be more actively involved in the investigation. But you can't actually get it wrong (see above). You'll get there in the end!

The minigames are best designed to be played with a mouse but for accessibility reasons you can also enable mouse-free mode to play with keyboard or controller. There's also an accessibility option to switch back to DejaVu if you really hate the pixely font.

Kickstarter ended October 22, 2021
Itch page (Currently only available to KS backers)
Launching on Steam Mar 1, 2022

Please feel free to ask any questions, I never know how much I'm forgetting...

Love the character art, it's slightly unsettling due to the high contrast. Very original.

Last 24 hours for the fundraising campaign (and to pick up the cool necklaces I had made for it!)

Art is complete and download links have been sent to everyone who backed at at a tier with beta access. If you are a beta backer and didn't get your email, please message me on kickstarter.

We're working on getting a test build uploaded to Steam for them to check about whether the suggestive content needs to be put in a separate patch or not. It should PROBABLY be okay (there's no full nudity) but one never knows with these things.

Free short demo is now available as part of Steam's NextFest - this is intended to go away again once the game fully launches, so if you're curious, now is the time to look.
