[Story] You are the overlooked daughter of a maid, suddenly cast as the prime suspect in a high-society ballroom murder. In your darkest hour, a ring of mysterious power finds its way onto your finger. To prove your innocence, you must launch an investigation—using reason, the occult, or even darker means to clear your name. As the truth unfurls, will you transcend your station to grasp wealth and power? Will you cast everything aside for a single moment of sincerity? Or will you embark on an unspeakable journey that ends in darkness? It all begins with the choices you make tonight. [Main Characters] - Freesia The protagonist. As the child of a Duke and a maid, you live in the shadow of a prominent family. On that blood-stained night, you obtained a ring of mysterious power. Is it the beginning of a fall into the abyss, or the catalyst to change your fate? - Iris Your half-sister. She treated you well enough while the Duchess was still alive. Now? She is likely your greatest adversary. Want to reconcile with her? You’d better be a saint! - Elias A sensitive artist and your closest childhood friend. For reasons unknown, his behavior has become increasingly eccentric and reclusive. Do you want to help him? More importantly, can you? - Echoheart A detective from the New World and your guide to reason. As her apprentice, you must prove that logic is sufficient to reach the truth. But if you insist on embracing occult arts... you'd better hope your arguments are convincing enough. - Argentis A historian with a mysterious lineage who patiently answers your questions. As his assistant, you can hear the whispers beneath the shadows. But be careful before following this mentor’s guidance. - Princess Selenne The primary heir to this kingdom's throne. Some say she is just like her father—mediocre and weak. There should be zero connection between you and such royalty... right?
