Poor Ashia; in a few days she's forced to marry her slimy uncle. And as if that wasn't enough, her psychopathic brother is turning her days into a living hell. And at night she's haunted by surreal nightmares where she's eaten alive by wraiths in a dark forest.
Then she meets Novalie. She's everything that Ashia isn't: slim and sexy, bouncy, restless, boundless, careless ... very ...very unpredictable and ... mysterious. And she seems to knows MUCH more than she lets on ...
Novalie is a visual novel, with lots of choices and branching paths, where you have guide Ashia through her challenges and misery. It's a dark horror story filled with blood and tears, but also a bit of twisted humour. Ashia’s world is unfair, scary and often hopeless. And even though the ghosts of her dreams are scary, they are nothing compared to the humans in her real life.
So what's the secret of the dark forest in Ashia's dreams? And who's painting the drawings which seems to appear in her notebook at night? Who's brutally attacking her family members? Is there a way out? What's the thing with the mysterious shower knob? And most importantly ... who is Novalie?
