Acerca de esta demo

The demo focuses on the beginning of the story, introducing the main cast, the first two major cases, and the emotional foundation for what's to come. It includes all of Chapter 1.

A runaway from another world. A jaded cop with a buried past. A bond that may decide the fate of both.

When a mysterious girl named Leandra appears in the human world, she crosses paths with officers Sawyer Randavix, April Jennings, and their calm but secretive captain, Kaheru. Leandra wants to live a peaceful life, but danger quickly follows in her wake, danger that threatens the town of Riviera.

As demons from Leandra’s world begin to surface, Sawyer is forced to confront her own trauma, rebuild broken relationships, and decide who she truly wants to protect. Your choices shape Sawyer’s bonds, and those bonds may be the key to saving them all.
