About the Game

A new world of heroes and villains

In this tale of love and lust, you play as the newest member of the Hope Guardians, a group of superheroes formed after the Catastrophe. 10 years ago the world changed when superpowers first emerged in a terrible event that also turned a chunk of the population into stone statues.

Having been stuck in an endlessly repeating dream ever since, you become the first person to ever awake from being turned to stone when the unthinkable happens. Are you ready to prove to the world that you too have the heart of hero?

Love around every corner

Being a superhero is not all that life is about. As part of your daily life of protecting the innocent, you can find many opportunities to grow closer to those you care about. Will you find love? Or perhaps even something more?

There are 4 different girls to grow close to among your fellow Hope Guardians. Are you up to the challenge? Experience their personal storylines alongside the main story and try your luck.

Use your time well

Just because you lost 10 years does not mean the world will stand still now that you are back. Use the time between main story events to help people, get closer to the other Hope Guardians or use that time to develop your personal stats to become exactly the hero the world needs.

Use the game's calendar system to your advantage to get the most out of your adventure. Choose what your hero will do every free Afternoon and Evening as the story progresses. Learn new talents, unlock new skills in the skill tree or spend some time alone with those you care about.

A world of choice

Not only will the characters and world react to the choices you make in the story, but how you spend your time also changes what dialogue choices are available to you. Customize your experience with your choices and experience the story, sex and love how you want to.

This includes the option to pick the genitals of your main character, her name and which sexual activities you would like to partake in.
