Demo 1.0 is currently only available in Simplified Chinese. Sorry we haven't had time to make and add an English translation. We hope that it can be done before May, and it will definitely come before Demo 2.0 releases, which is expected to be no later than July 2025

It takes time, but we promise we'll get there. Please bear with us! 


This is a mystical tale of magic, love, and blood ties happened in the late winter of the Taishō era. 

In this diverse romance visual novel, you will follow the journey of the amnesiac actor, Kotori Sakuma, as he uncovers hidden truths and navigates intricate relationships. 

Ultimately, the choice will come: return to the embrace of the bloodline, or pursue complete freedom.

The sacred object that determines the path ahead—some call it destiny, while others attribute it to “me.”


subtitle-story

The amnesiac actor, Kotori Sakuma, who lost his past memories in an accident, travels to Tokyo with his troupe to prepare for the premiere of a new script. 

However, his previously peaceful life is shattered by an unexpected event—something he says suddenly possesses unknown power. An alternate side of the world, which ordinary people cannot touch, reveals its secrets to him at this moment. 

Before investigating his forgotten past, which may hold the key to answering his confusion, the suspicious death of his friend drags him into a murder accusation. 

Join Kotori Sakuma in Tokyo on the eve of Valentine’s Day in 1921, as he explores the unknown conspiracy and the forgotten chapters of his life.

Protagonist

Intro of protagonist

  • The protagonist and lead actor of the “Emerald Eye” troupe. The story primarily unfolds from his perspective.
  • He lost most of his past memories a year before the story begins. Though he seems to have adapted well, his past won’t let him go so easily. 
  • He appears aloof, but his inner world is abundent, and he sometimes lacks common sense. Could his reluctance to recall the past be related to this? 


Main Characters

Intro of Hatsuyuki

  • Also known as Snezana Arkadievna Baryakinskaya, the lead actress of the “Emerald Eye” troupe.
  • A lively and cheerful Russian girl. She has known the protagonist and Mochitsuki for a long time. Despite the protagonist losing his memory, their friendship remains intact. 
  • She seems to have secrets she’s reluctant to talk about as well, but the chance to reveal them has gone forever.


Intro of Kazuya

  • The leader of the “Emerald Eye” troupe and the protagonist’s close friend and former classmate.
  • Instead of being a leader, he often takes on the role of caretaker for the troupe members. However, he can be quite stubborn when it comes to matters he believes in.
  • For some reason, he always carries a suitcase with him.
  • Since the incident, he’s been heavy-hearted, as though he’s afraid of something.


Intro of Sarina

  • A mysterious girl with a tendency of binge eating, the protagonist’s younger sister, and a regular customer at the café near his residence. They don’t seem to have any conflicts, but she makes him feel very uneasy…
  • She’s even more aloof than the protagonist and speaks little.
  • Rumors say she was once the heir to a House, but after the House's downfall and some odd rumors, her position became awkward.


Intro of Minoru

  • An enigmatic investor of the troupe, the protagonist’s uncle, and the head of a House. A remarkable person who single-handedly revived the decaying House and transformed it into today's massive empire.
  • Most people think he’s a philanthropist and capable entrepreneur, but rumors about how he became the head of the House suggest something disreputable. Anyway, he never cares.
  • He’s always smiling, although there seems to be some unpleasant history between him and the protagonist.

Your comment really encourages us, thank you! The English translation is currently in progress, and we're working hard to make it available as soon as possible! 😊

I'm sorry to hear that the warnings scare you, and am grateful that you still decided to give it a try!💗 Rest assured that the story is actually gentler than it may appear. The warnings are more of a disclaimer, as we just want to make sure that anyone who might be sensitive to these themes is aware before they start playing.
