Main Character & Player: Lady Elara Valtor. As the only daughter of Lord Aric Valtor, she is known in the high circles of Eridell’s aristocracy not for her nobility or grace, but for her notoriously self-centered and hedonistic lifestyle. Having grown up in the lap of luxury, Elara developed a taste for extravagance and a penchant for manipulation.

Love Interest: Lord Caius Marlowe. Caius is the eldest son of the influential Marlowe family, known for their long-standing lineage as one of Eridell’s oldest noble houses. The Marlowes have a history of being staunch supporters of the Carvers' Council.

Love Interest: Sir Tristan Bellamy: He is charismatic, theatrical, and frequently a magnet for attention. His face has soft, approachable features with an often-mischievous glint in his eyes. He has a friendly smile that quickly disarms those around him.

In plan for future development based on your feedback(feedback form):

♦ Every choice leads to a unique outcome

♦ More diverse love interests and other characters

♦ ...and numerous ways to survive or perish 

This project is a labor of love for me. However, as a solo developer, I am balancing its creation alongside my main work and other responsibilities.

As a result, to bring my vision to life, I have initially employed generated art and voice as placeholders. This decision was made to rapidly establish the game's atmosphere, aid in prototyping, and help to test various artistic directions. I believe in being transparent about this use is important piece for promoting ethical practices in the industry at this stage.

Should the project gain more momentum, my aim is to collaborate with several artists and actors to bring authentic and original art to the game.
