About the Game

In the year 5864, Johann Heimbrodt, a wandering mercenary stuck with DIRAC Corp., is approached by an opulent man with a promise of moving up in the world. A simple assignment: slaughter a prestigious family of Bloodphantoms known as the Rozenvojeras. His target, Vladimirella Rozenvojera, seems to evade all sense of decorum—and deathblows—as she effortlessly throws out insults and attacks. Johann, unable to trap Vladimirella into a corner, must find another way to ensnare her before she—and his promotion along with her—can escape.

It's all in the presentation!

Rosebound is a visual novel with highly-thought-out presentation to bring to life the story of a mercenary caught up in his past. From high octane animations for fight sequences to cinematic camerawork for somber scenes, every moment has its distinct feeling. Enjoy full English voice acting from some of the most talented voice actors out there who embody the characters above and beyond. Check out the beautiful original soundtrack that makes you feel the moment. Rosebound is equally an unforgettable listening experience.

Johann completed one of the most important contracts for the Church, and yet he's stuck as one of their countless mercenaries. But the light that guides him has never led him astray, and a certain High Progenitor has one last contract in mind...

Vladimirella can't seem to escape from her family's sense of aesthetics. Every partner she has and date she goes on has to be approved and chaperoned. One day, she wishes she could tear it all down, but for now, she's stuck in her little shack.

Higher up are the Progenitors: the Church's strongest and most faithful soldiers. They have proven themselves, in Offset Wars and elsewhere, to be the ones most deserving of Her blessing. Yet, one man guides them all—Weisszanne Vassant, the High Progenitor.

Jack is someone that lacks self-awareness, yet is completely arrogant about his ideals. He seems to pose an issue to Vladimirella and Johann, but...
