WHAT IS THE VISUAL NOVEL ABOUT?

You are a university student who accidentally ends up joining a political science club in the capital city of Ardena.

At first glance, it seems like an ordinary campus experience — but tension is rising in the country, and your actions are starting to carry real weight.

THE HEROINES:

• Katya – A fiery communarist, believing in the power of the people and radical change.

  

• Anya – A careful observer, hesitant to make rash decisions, always weighing every step.

  

• Nadya – A hardened national syndicalist, ready to fight in a world where survival is not guaranteed.

  

• Masha – A sincere monarchist, torn between tradition, duty, and her own path in the chaos of revolution.

  

THE DEMO DOES NOT INCLUDE:

• Full character arc development

• Romantic/intimate scenes (only early groundwork for future routes)

• Civil war episodes (these will appear in the full version)

The demo is an invitation to the world of Ardena.
Get to know the heroines, immerse yourself in the atmosphere of student life, and make your first meaningful choices on the path to a much greater story.
