A downloadable game for Windows and macOS

Play as a sentient battle android bent on getting revenge on humankind. Your first target— the son of one of the scientists who developed you.

Fortunately for him, you’re not very good at your job.

And unfortunately for you, this human appears to be a bit strange. And the longer you're around him, the more you start to remember a certain something you'd tried so very hard to forget.

---

A horror-romance RPG featuring a doom and gloom protagonist and the sunny, perfectly sane love interest who'll show her... that she really should've just killed him after all.



This is a (somewhat rough) demo made for Otome/Josei Jam 2023! Full game is in development. As such, a lot is currently missing or unpolished and will be added/fixed up for the completed game.

Planned:

  • 1 sugary sweet yandere LI (spoilers: if you're looking specifically for yandere content I would skip the demo and wait for the full release as he's still tame sorry)
  • A combination of RPG and visual novel style segments
  • Choices and interactions that lead to different endings






Demo contains violence, implications of abuse, brief screen shakes and flashes.

I loved seeing an rpgmaker style entry! The art style is unique and cute, and I loved the little exploring section at the start. Great job!

So, maybe I am just dumb, but what is the incantation?
I couldn't discover/solve it.

Hi, thank you so much for playing :D The incantation should be "See you soon" (it's not case sensitive though). I wasn't sure how to balance the puzzle but I probably should have added more clues, sorry! ^^'
