About the Game


In the enchanting, magical forest of Velhal, Eilayda reigns as the revered fairy queen. Her domain suddenly faces a crisis when a dreadful illness starts afflicting the fairies. To save her people, Eilayda leaves the forest in search of the "origin resin" a powerful magical material crucial for creating the cure. However, the only known resin is sold in a human city, deep within its infamous prison district—a den for criminals and malevolent souls.

Nevertheless, Eilayda decides to enter the district, determined to find the resin and return to her forest unscathed by the grim shadows of the human world.

Enter an immersive RPG Maker game, filled with quests, mini-games, and unexpected encounters. As you explore the dangerous prison district, you'll face its complex residents, many of whom hide their own, dangerous motives.  Engage in exciting combat and exploit your enemies' vulnerabilities with the range system. Customise your character's growth by choosing skills that match your playstyle, and gather mana, the essential resource for your kind. With each decision, you’ll uncover the secrets lurking within the district and hopefully get closer to reaching your objective - obtaining the "origin resin" and saving your people from sickness.

Corruption System

Guide Eilayda through the prison district and its many thrills. Unlock new scenarios based on Eilayda's choices, highlighting her resilience in a world full of moral tests.

Enhanced Combat System

Exploit enemies' vulnerabilities while keeping an eye on your own. The range system adds an extra layer of fun to classic RPG Maker combat.

Custom Character Growth

Choose the attributes you want to improve and the skills you want to acquire within the Essence Reflection, the core of Eilayda's magical power, to make her as powerful as you want.

Resource Management

Gold and mana are your most important resources. Gold is used to buy items, rest at the inn, and solve problems, while mana is used to cast spells in combat and enhance Eilayda’s attributes. Spend your resources wisely and explore the district to uncover events and mini-games that can reward you with additional mana and gold.
