A downloadable game for Windows and macOS

You play as Tristan, a brilliant young necromancer whose perfect control over death magic begins to unravel following a personal loss. As your powers grow increasingly unstable, you cross paths with a cursed knight who desperately seeks death but cannot die. Together, you must find a way to mend your broken magic, come to terms with your grief, and help your new companion break free from the curse of eternal life.

This is a very short demo version that I put together to meet the Dying Year VN Jam deadline. Unfortunately, it doesn't look exactly as originally envisioned — you can tell by looking at the main character's sprite, haha.

However, I'm still actively working on its development and really hope to release the full version in 2025, so stay tuned and follow the updates!

Language:

In the game settings you can select the language - Russian or English.
