Overview

About this game

STORY

You live in a quiet village on the edge of a magical kingdom, two loving parents, a small rural community, and not much excitement. Until one night… monsters attack. Your village is destroyed. Your parents don’t make it. And the creature behind it still haunts your dreams.

In the aftermath, you’re taken in by royalty, thanks to a spark of latent magic and what might have been a moment between you and Minori, the powerful and compassionate princess of the Takeda clan.

Now the kingdom is your new home, but what happens next is entirely up to you. At the royal academy you'll learn magic, make friends, and maybe some will become more than just friends. What alliances will you form and who will you fall for?  Will you strengthen your magical abilities  or make a wrong step and perish? Forge alliances, spark unexpected connections, challenge what others expect of you, and work to get your revenge. Remember, player: your choices matter.
