About This Game

A Deeply Personal Roleplaying Experience

Your choices shape more than just the story—they forge Salem's very identity. As loyalty clashes with forbidden love in an evil regime, every decision pulls you deeper into his inner conflict. With multiple unique endings waiting to be discovered, your Salem could become a hero, villain, or something far more complex.
