About

This yuri visual novel twists a familiar fairy tale into a dark choice-driven narrative. After returning from war broke, Isako agrees to a dangerous pact with a demon named Maku. She receives endless wealth but must survive seven years of social exile and deadly threats without seeking help. One misstep and her soul is lost. The story unfolds through branching dialogue and scenario choices that shape her relationships and outcomes. Players navigate moral dilemmas while uncovering the truth behind Maku's offer and Isako's troubled past. The game’s layered storytelling and character designs stand out. Steam reviews give it 85% positive ratings with 4.5/5 stars from over 2000 players. Art style blends traditional Japanese motifs with modern digital work. Dialogue options influence multiple endings but avoid heavy branching that bloats playtime. Standout moments include tense survival sequences and quiet character moments that humanize Isako’s struggle. Community threads note the pacing occasionally falters but praise the emotional core.
