Beschreibung nicht jugendfreier Inhalte

Der Entwickler beschreibt die Inhalte wie folgt:

This visual novel contains explicit sexual scenes with full nudity depicted in an anime art style. These scenes occur as part of the story progression during regular gameplay. This work contains depictions of non-violent property and financial crime within a fictional art-market setting — a fictional dispute over a forged artwork and, on some paths, its knowing sale; a fictional civil claim over a contested antiquity; and an off-screen fictional financial-compliance matter — alongside on-screen alcohol use, including one scene of heavy drinking, and occasional mild strong language. It also references a strained, controlling marriage and divorce. All events, parties, and institutions are entirely fictional.

No Reserve

When the lots turn rotten and the clocks start counting down, your only honest bid is your own heart.

In the chandeliered saleroom of Calthorpe's—an old London auction house quietly fighting for its life—star auctioneer Julian Ashby is preparing the season-defining event: The Aslanov Collection. Three weeks before the hammer falls, the pillars of his sale begin to collapse at once: the "rediscovered" Old Master that made his name shows signs of forgery, a temple deity's immaculate provenance hides wartime looting, and the consignor's fortune is a sanctioned machine disguised as elegance.

As pressure mounts from the boardroom, the press, and the calendar itself, Julian is pulled into three incompatible romances—each with a woman who holds a different truth he can't un-know—and forced to decide what he's willing to withdraw… and what he'll risk offering with no reserve.

Meet the Cast

Lara Aslanova — The Wife
Lara is the sanctioned magnate's glittering young wife—and, on paper, the "clean" owner of a fortune desperate to reach the market. She offers Julian an arrangement: staged closeness as cover, the sale as her exit, and the collection as leverage—because leaving her marriage any other way could be fatal. To Julian, Lara is performance honed into survival… and the dangerous possibility that something real is hiding under it.



Sophea Lim — The Barrister
A formidable British-Cambodian cultural-restitution barrister, Sophea is suing to pull a looted Koh Ker deity from Julian's sale and send it home. She is also Julian's estranged wife, separated for nearly a year with an unsigned divorce still haunting both their desks. To Julian, Sophea is both opposing counsel and unfinished history: brilliant, combative, and the one person whose judgment cuts past every charm he's ever used.



Isobel Carr — The Conservator
Calthorpe's head of scientific research, Isobel is Julian's quiet counterweight: where he sees, she proves. Her evidence threatens to expose the career-making Judith as a forgery, detonating the season—and the long, unspoken intimacy of nine years at the same easel. To Julian, she is truth in human form: precise, unbribable, and terrifyingly close.

Key Features

• A high-stakes, contemporary romance VN set inside London's elite art market, where beauty, power, and paperwork can make anything look "clean."
  
• Three distinct romance routes with a single pivotal choice, each built around a different dynamic: Slow-Burn Coworkers, Fake Relationship / Marriage of Convenience, and Estranged-but-Stuck.
  
• A morally charged central mystery: forgery, cultural repatriation, and sanctions-era money laundering collide in one compromised season.
  
• Time pressure and escalating "season clocks"—an impending evening sale, an injunction hearing, an attribution bombshell, and looming compliance deadlines keep tension tight.
  
• A thematic core about authenticity—by or after, real or performed—asking whether love can survive when everything else has a price tag.
  
• Each romance route includes explicit adult scenes.
