“Sophistry levels up the anime style drama genre”
Linux Game Consortium

“Next level of quality in VN games - beautiful mix of traditionally japanese anime with K-drama and korean manwha hand painted art style. 6 endings, dynamical branching, and a quality you will admit.”

“I'm so excited to play more and see more of the story! I'm pretty addicted to it”

  • Fully voice acted in English and Live2D animated.

  • Original songs composed and interpreted by professional artists.

  • Non spoiling dynamic branch tree generated as you progress.

This isn't a hentai/eroge visual novel.

That being said, some mature topics and behavior will occur or be implied in text or visual, such as drinking, arguing/fighting, kissing, death, injuries, blood, weapons, suggestive comments or clothing (but no nudity). Some dialogs may feel offensive to some, but those are just the reflection of the character in the story itself and not our beliefs or political views.
