About the Game

Blur the lines between ancient history and mythology in fulgor, a romance visual novel set during the Roman Republic's invasion of Etruria in 299 BC.

i hate, therefore i am.

With Hatred dead, no one can oppose the legions of the She-Wolf; they roam the countryside, a horde of men and violence, razing any settlements they encounter and leaving no prisoners.

Only you can stop them.

Play as Thanchvil, a Rasna woman tasked by her pantheon to revive the god of Hatred.

Embark on a journey to take on a lover and slay them where divine blood still paints the waters, so that Hatred may return. 

who will win your favor?

Lucius, the crimson-clad soldier, has escaped the Underworld to haunt your days and nights. You cannot understand him, nor you can outrun him. Why have you become his anchor among the living?

Use your guile to escape death at his hands, and you might win his heart.

Tuchulcha, the Snake-Wrangler, the Punisher, is a fearsome guide of the dead and messenger of the gods. Despite her hideous visage, she is kind to you, even when condemning you to flee your city.

Desperate to know love, she welcomes her own sacrifice. A dark bargain might spare her...
