About This Game

Dancing with Shadows: Prologue is the first installment of an episodic dark fantasy visual novel with CYOA-influenced branching storylines, romantic routes, and many different endings.

Guide three protagonists through a storyline left for you to untangle. Your choices don't just shape the outcome of the story, they shape the personas of the protagonists you control. 

This first installation in a four-part story offers a complete narrative arc and serves as the foundation for a larger story. This game is designed to be played multiple times.

Romantic routes dynamically evolve across paths, with three (or perhaps four) potential love interests to discover.
