With enemies closing in, gods manipulating the strings of fate, and your heart caught between three divine beings, your journey will be one of self-discovery, courage, and transformation. Will you conquer your curse, find true love, and rewrite your story among the gods? Your destiny awaits in this thrilling visual novel! ■Characters■ Ares - The God of War ‘My strength has always been my shield, but with you, I find myself wanting to lay it down.’ A fierce and battle-hardened warrior, Ares has spent his life proving his worth to the gods, especially to his father, Zeus. Despite his stern disposition, he secretly craves tenderness and understanding, and yearns to make something more of his name, which is laden by the terrors and struggles of war. Can you show Ares that true strength lies not just in battle, but in love and compassion? Hades - The Lord of the Underworld ‘Best you tread carefully if you wish to see through the shadows that others fear…’ A stoic and lonely figure, Hades rules the Underworld with great responsibility and restraint. Isolated from the other gods and misunderstood by mortals, he’s longed for someone who could see beyond his title and the darkness he embodies. As you navigate the truths of his realm and your curse, you realize you have more similarities than differences with this prudent, desolate god. Will you be the first to bring warmth to his cold world and show him that love can exist even in the shadows? Apollo - The God of the Sun ‘All my songs and poetry pale in comparison to your beauty, my lady.’ Apollo is known for his radiant beauty, artistry, and charm. Loved by mortals and gods alike, he seems to have it all—but beneath his playful exterior lies a worn, doubtful spirit akin to a flickering flame. He fears that he is valued only for his talents, not for who he truly is. With you, however, the god of the sun just might discover a love that goes beyond appearances, and find harmony between passion and authenticity.
