About the Game

Note 1: This game follows the same setting and focuses on 2 new routes: Roya & Chain. You don't need to play the base game to enjoy this version.

Note 2: The secret route and side stories are still in development. I planned these for early 2026. They come as a free update.

Main Characters

Miyoko (renamable) - You play as a college girl trapped in the monotony of everyday life. Miyoko craves adventure and excitement, but she’s careful not to lose herself chasing danger.

Roya - A flirtatious young man who, after meeting the heroine, seems drawn to her for reasons beyond simple attraction. His true motives remain a mystery. Though his uniform marks him as a student from her school, she’s certain she’s never seen him before.

Chain - A man of few words, he only speaks when it truly matters or to make a cutting comment. His quiet nature, paired with his strange activities, has fueled rumors that he’s connected to the murders.
