A thoughtful, text-driven fantasy adventure where every decision shapes a layered story of magic and betrayal.

What players say

Players enjoy the lighthearted tone, court intrigue and clever puns, but many find the romance shallow and the ending rushed. The magic system revolves around a 'juice' resource, though some wish it played a bigger role. Overall it is seen as a fun but unpolished interactive novel.
