How it feels

A slow, text-heavy mystery set in a gothic convent, driven by dialogue and atmosphere rather than action.

What players say

Players praise the character writing and atmosphere of this first volume, often calling it one of their favorite visual novels. The story is a slow-burning queer murder mystery set in a 15th-century convent, though some find the modern-feeling dialogue jarring for the setting. It ends on a cliffhanger that leaves many eager for Volume 2.
