About This Game

An epic dark fantasy about magic, secrets, and forbidden love.

For fans of Sarah J. Maas, Leigh Bardugo, Patrick Rothfuss, and Andrzej Sapkowski.

The remains were found 17 meters below the surface — bone fragments of a species unknown to science. No matching records. No known predators. But among the dust, they discovered something else: fragments of a story — written in ash, blood, and silence.

When an ancient darkness begins to spread through the kingdom of Highgard, the true danger is not the monsters of legend — but the king himself.

This is not a game. It’s a fully linear, illustrated novel — 29 chapters of immersive storytelling, filled with emotion, depth, and unforgettable characters.

You’ll follow three intertwining fates:

Yinyue – a young mage with great power and greater fears. She searches for her place in a world that both needs and fears her.
William – a reluctant hero, caught in the collapse of his homeland, forced to choose between safety and justice.
Charles – a charming knight with a sharp mind and a secret that could cost him everything.

  • Written entirely by hand — no AI.

  • A haunting original soundtrack.

  • Gothic-style ink illustrations.

  • Explores LGBTQ+ themes, identity, and inner struggle.

  • A world of forbidden love, political intrigue, and magical doom.

Perfect for readers who seek not action, but feeling. Not noise — but depth.
