About This Game

"Good evening, children! How about I tell you a story?"

Naturally, when you receive such an offer, you have the opportunity to decline and not listen to any stories.

After all, there are days when we are feeling tired, or perhaps we have other things, better or worse, to do.

However, if you choose to hear Yaren's story, it won't be a passive experience!

As you actively immerse yourself in the unfolding tale, you will encounter a tapestry of possibilities, each presenting a myriad of possibilities to explore, and ultimately, it will be your responsibility to guide our protagonist, Yaren, through the labyrinth of decisions that shape her fate.

Upon hearing a rumor about a mysterious castle in the forest near her home, Yaren decides to embark on a quest!

After all, the mythical pearl believed to reside within its mystical chambers may hold the key to the emancipation she so fervently seeks in her life.

But before she can even think about the treasure, she must first undertake the challenging mission of finding the enigmatic castle. Will she ever succeed?

"The Castle" is a text-based adventure accompanied by simple images and sounds, designed to spark the imagination of its players.

As our debut game at Sankurusu, it features a script written by Hermit, illustrations by PacaTatuCotiaNao, and an English version by Joaquim Gabriel Patricio.

Stay tuned for all the exciting updates, news, and upcoming releases by following our company page on Steam!
