About the Game

Welcome to Irlia, a land full of creatures of all shapes and sizes, and where a mysterious but dangerous substance called Volithine spreads beyond the shadows.

What is Volithine? No one knows where it came from, nor how long it has existed in Irlia. But one thing is certain: Volithine is deadly. Almost anyone who contacts Volithine is mutated into a hideous monster, or turned into a lifeless husk. 

However, somewhere in Irlia is a small group of mercenaries who have all been infected by Volithine, but have retained some level of humanity.

You play as Daren, the latest recruit in this guild of misfits. Form bonds with the guild members, learn more about the wicked substance that shaped their lives, and stand up to a horrifying evil that plans to spread Volithine far beyond the reaches of your guild’s headquarters. Above all, your time in the guild will bring you closer to the most aloof member of the group: Sparrow, a quiet fox with a haunted past, who may hold the key to it all…

This is a narrative-driven visual novel featuring ironclad character bonds, thrilling action, and important choices that lead to multiple endings. Navigate a story where hurt and comfort, love and trauma, and moments of levity define Daren’s path forward. Will your choices unite the guild and save the world, or will you remain bound by the dismal future that was forced upon you?
