Story Overview
You live a normal life. You grew up on the outskirts of town with parents who were always there for you and your sister.
After finishing school, you applied for a normal job. Now you're working your way up the career ladder and living the corporate life.
That all changes one day when you get a call from your mother.
You learn that all you believed in as true was a facade. You're confronted with a world you always thought of as fiction or movie material.
How you deal with this new situation, this new world, who you trust or not... that is up to you.
Features
This is a story-driven visual novel with adult elements. The story takes place in an urban fantasy setting and combines a modern world with fantasy elements like magic, magical creatures, and supernatural elements. The story also touches upon mature topics like nudity, sex, violence, and death. If you feel uncomfortable with these topics, I encourage you not to play.
With version 0.4 you get around 4600 static renders, 98 animations, an image gallery, achievement functionality (43 achievements as of now), and a chapter summary at the end of each Chapter summarizing the decisions you made.

Only just started but very enjoyable so far, thank you.
You can ask if he will have excalibur or not, why is he telling Fiona the whole truth about what happened and not the other girlfriend?
Hi, thanks for a very good and interesting game
this visual novel is my alltime favorite now. wow. what a journey in just 4 chapters... can't wait for more! 10/10 !!!
for some reason once I downloaded the winrar file I can´t extract 100% of the game
Nicely done, so far yet! Games like this should be on Steam, instead of many cheaply made in NSFW AV category, nuff said. Can get 5 stars easily, once it's a full game.
yay update
Do the heads/eyes count as a bug or is the MC looking 14 years old in the face with strange lifeless eyes the way things should be?
And the head and eyes of the bitch that always lies and has been brainwashed by the badly explained cult.
The whole neverwhere thing makes no sense anyway best to suspend belief on that.
is this harem or one girl kinda deal?
no harem
Steam release?
Maybe in the future, no specific date or timeframe yet.
HOLY COW, what a chapter 1 !!!started out as a OK V.N. building up to a end i never seen coming. when from a bland day to HIT-MEN, to some real heavy action that grabs you do the nuts and don't let go, i don't think even WOOWWW covers it a true 5* in hiding.
Thanks a lot for the praise. I'm really happy you enjoyed it
this is a really great game
love the graphics and the content . I wonder when the the next chapter is coming.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.
Chapter 3 will take a while. Chapter 2 just got released a little more than a week ago.
Good game.
I am surprised I haven't found it sooner and how for I had to scroll down when I did.
The introduction was a bit disheartening; I love harem games(and you also put that cute little sister there, but no incest), but I still liked it.
Visuals are great; I think there were only a few grammatical errors(which is rare among the AVNs I've seen on Itch); The recap system is nice, it has been a while since I've seen one; I liked what you've done with achievements. All in all an enjoyable experience.
I have a couple of questions though:
The Order was founded ~600 years ago by the previous grand master, after whom the castle is named, so no eternal life with the holy grail but ~600/2 still seems long enough? Not sure how this adds up, but I might have misunderstood something, or you have plans to explain this later(inb4 the old grand master is still alive and turns out to be the main antagonist of the game) .
So with harem not being an option and there being one ending, I take it relationships only affect who(if anyone) is standing next to you in the end? I'm curious, with the how the game is, how do "side-girls" come in play; do you completely avoid them in order to be with one of the main love interests? If you are comfortable answering this question.
Anyway, good work!
Excited to play the finished product(in 10 years I guess).
Hey,
Thanks for the nice words and I'm glad you enjoyed the game.
The Order was founded in 1119 and got disbanded in 1312. The last Grand Master was Jaques de Molay who got burned at the stake in 1314.
These are all historical facts that can be checked on Wikipedia for example.
The fiction starts after that point. They went into hiding but kept most of their ranks, habits, and so on. In those roughly 700 years they had several Grand Masters, none of them lived for an exceptionally long lifespan.
I might add the year of de Molay's death to make it clear, he's not THE previous Grand Master, just one of them (and dead for over 700 years now).
Regarding the ending: yes, you're pretty much right. There's a main plot, all main LIs have their own story arcs and they weave into the main plot at times. But they don't change the overall main story. Hard to answer without going into spoilers.
The side girls are side content and/or side characters. Mostly to add a bit of spice or fun activities, that don't fit one of the main girl's routes (at that time).
Right now, you don't need to avoid them, as all of Book 1 is considered "introduction". There will be a point when you need to decide on one girl's path and after that point, messing around with anyone else would be considered cheating.
Hope, that answers your questions. If not, feel free to get back to me.
Thank you for the information!
Looking forward for the continuation.
Hi dev is pregnancy planned? Also if you plan to include lesbian content make it avoidable or give the opportunity to prevent girls from being lesbians. I don't know why most games don't have the opportunity to avoid it.
Hi,
Both are not planned at the moment. That might (!) change in the future, or not. I'm not going to add things just for the sake of it. It has to fit the story or at least not distract from it.
Also, pretty much everything regarding lewd is avoidable. That'll be true for everything I might add in the future, no matter what.

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Interesting story and characters. Can't wait to see more!
Thank you. I'm glad you liked it. More isn't too far away :-)
like the story so far, and the art (though the comprsion is a bitch). the (so am i right to guess the pub is from dresden?)
Hey thanks for the comment. There's no specific example for the pub :-)
Really love this game so far, I love the characters and the story is so good and captivating so far while most of it is still an exciting mystery and I cant wait for the future updates to discover more!
thank you very much for the kind words
super nice game and i love the story. i have rate the game and given you a follow
Thank you very much for your support :-)
good game!
thank you
it is so funny to see the same bench in park scene used by almost every game where people go jogging. looks great
Haha absolutely right. And I hesitated using it. But to be honest there's only so much park assets available and most of them are... let's say "old"
If someone finally decides to create a new park it's going to sell like crazy...
where do you get these assets?
mostly DAZ3D and Renderosity
Not just the park , the cafe turns up a lot too.
noice game can't wait for updates!
Thank you. I'm glad you liked it :-)
