About the Game

“This isn't a story about justice. It's a story about surviving the system.”

Step into the cold corridors of LUNA-V, a powerful tech company where ambition is currency and silence is survival. In Elara, a dark visual novel filled with manipulation, mystery, and moral choices, you play as Elara, a young recruit who quickly realizes that behind the polished walls of her new workplace lies a web of control, secrets, and death.

🌒 Key Features

🔍 Investigation & Deduction
Delve into the digital remnants of the deceased. Decode encrypted messages, analyze work logs, and uncover surveillance footage to piece together the hidden truth.

👥 A Web of Intertwined Relationships
Interact with five distinct colleagues—Lea the cold manipulator, Kay the quiet observer, Mira the conflicted HR. Every choice you make will ripple through your relationships and shape the narrative.

⚖️ Choices and Consequences
Expose the truth, blend into the system, or become the next puppet master. Your path defines whether Elara resists, conforms, or takes control.

📁 Multiple Endings & Branching Paths

🧠 Realism Meets Psychological Corporate Horror
Inspired by real-world workplace abuse, power dynamics, and information control, Elara invites you into a quiet yet brutal game of control and survival.
