About the Game

You are Aurora, a young witch who loves alchemy, dreaming of changing the coven she was born into.

However, one horrible day, her coven, The Circle of Moira, was massacred by the Inquisition during a brutal and unexplained attack. So, Aurora decides to investigate in order to understand and find the secrets buried in Rosevale.

Accompanied by Oz, the mysterious familiar of her deceased grandmother, Aurora must gather clues, explore various areas of Rosevale, craft potions, and confront five suspects tied to the tragedy thanks to the intellect and the magic of Oz.

Yet the more she searches for the truth, the more she begins to question not only what happened... But also Oz, her family, her coven, and even herself.

In this semi-open world, you can explore various areas of Rosevale, unlocking new locations as you progress through confrontations with suspects. From the deepest caves of Rosevale to the small town of Gembury, the region is filled with unique flora and fauna that may prove useful during your journey.

And sometimes, you may discover mysterious orbs that only Oz can collect, allowing you to offer them to your deity in exchange for blessings.

Alchemy is the key to unlocking the door to hidden secrets. Gather unique plants, catch magical fish, buy vials, and brew a variety of potions in order to make your way towards your suspects.

Unlock new recipes throughout each chapter and use them wisely to gather clues, uncover treasures, and solve puzzles. Nothing will keep you from discovering the truth.

Each chapter revolves around confronting a suspect, but you cannot accuse someone without clues or evidence. You must collect informations, build your reasoning, try to uncover the suspect’s motive, and decide how to approach each interrogation.

However, depending on your questions and the way you handle each suspect, they may choose to answer or remain silent.

Guilty or innocent. In the end, the balance of justice will literally rest in your hands.

Not everyone in Rosevale knew where the coven was hidden. Therefore, only a few individuals could truly be considered suspects for Oz and Aurora.

One of them revealed the coven’s location to the Inquisition. But who?

Jasper the Alchemist?

Evelyn Bloodwhisper the Witch?

Lum the Familiar?

Jonathan Lumier, leader of the Inquisition of Gembury?

Or perhaps, as Oz suggests…

Walter, Aurora’s best friend.

The Circle of Moira has always been filled with secrets, many that Aurora never knew about.

Perhaps this investigation will bring her closer to the truth behind the creation of the Circle, the reasons why the Inquisition decided to attack. And the truth about their own goddess, Moira.
