About This Game

About This Game

Show Me Mercy is a mystery otome game that blends crime simulation, investigation, and choice-driven storytelling.

Raised in a monastery, your life is thrown into chaos after the disappearance of your closest friend, the closure of your home, and a forced marriage to a powerful Duke. On your wedding night, you uncover a horrifying truth—one that leaves you with only one option.

Kill before you are destroyed.

Plan murders, conceal the truth, evade justice, and uncover the secrets hidden beneath a seemingly peaceful medieval town.

Will you find salvation... or become the very monster you fear?

Key Features

A Choice-Driven Crime Simulation

Every case can be approached differently.

Search for clues, collect useful items, observe NPC schedules, and decide how to eliminate your target. Each murder follows its own unique structure instead of repeating the same gameplay loop.

Your choices will influence future investigations, relationships, and ultimately determine your ending.

Four Romance Routes

Develop relationships with four male love interests, each possessing their own secrets, motivations, and endings.

Unlike many traditional otome games, affection grows naturally alongside the story. Rather than selecting dialogue purely to maximize affection, you are free to make the choices you truly want while relationships develop through the narrative.

Your decisions, however, may also lead to obsessive, possessive, or even captivity-themed endings.

Explore a Living World

Built with RPG Maker MV, Show Me Mercy is not a traditional visual novel.

Explore more than 30 handcrafted maps, including noble estates, monasteries, forests, shops, churches, and the town itself.

Many locations change between day and night, revealing different NPCs, conversations, and opportunities.

Investigate bookshelves, desks, letters, and hidden objects. Every conversation may contain valuable information, and every clue could change the outcome of a case.

Multiple Endings

• 8 romance endings

• 2 solo endings

• Numerous bad endings and branching conclusions

Failure is not simply "Game Over."

Abandoning a murder, making the wrong decision, or allowing events to unfold differently may lead to entirely new story branches.

Story

Set in a fictional world inspired by medieval Europe, Show Me Mercy has no connection to any real historical figures, political organizations, or historical events.

You are a nineteen-year-old orphan raised by a monastery, destined to become a nun.

But after your closest friend mysteriously disappears and the monastery is dissolved, your future is stolen away.

A secluded Duke becomes infatuated with you at first sight and forces you into marriage.

Then, on your wedding night...

You discover a truth so horrifying that survival itself demands blood.

Over the course of the story, you must complete five murder cases, escape investigation and judgment, and ultimately decide whether to place your trust in one of four men—or walk your own path alone.
