About the Game

Cho Fukuda has spent much of her adult life as a freelance costume designer, to the point that she feels like she's been typecast. Her motivation to work on projects that all feel the same flounders until she ends up botching a commission, leaving her with no leads and the feeling that she's made a mistake with her life. With Cho out of a job for the time being, she and her girlfriend will soon have to explore how their love will adjust to this new challenge.

Features:
  • A romance story about a couple overcoming a rough patch together, rather than the story of their meeting
  • Three separate storylines, each continuing from potential endings seen in Eldritch Academy
  • Each story has two endings, neither of which is a "true" or "bad" ending
