Kain’s monotonous life as a socially invisible high schooler takes a surreal turn when he discovers an ancient, sentient journal in his absent mother’s abandoned study. Its pages pulse with cryptic riddles, promising to rewrite his destiny—for a price. As Kain deciphers its entries, he’s thrust into a hidden underworld of cursed clubs and spectral classmates, where "Luxuria," a shapeshifting entity, offers him charisma, allure, and the attention he craves. But every favor erodes his humanity, warping reality itself. Will Kain cling to his fragile moral compass, or embrace the chaos to finally be seen?
Gameplay:
1. Pact-Driven Choices: Bargain with Luxuria to gain supernatural charm or intellect, but each pact distorts NPC appearances and dialogue options, altering their storylines.
2. Duality System: Split gameplay between Kain’s mundane school life (attending classes, part-time jobs) and midnight “Eclipse” phases where the world morphs into a gothic dreamscape filled with phantom quests.
3. Echo Conversations: Replay key dialogues with spectral whispers hinting at hidden truths, allowing Kain to manipulate past interactions for new outcomes.
Features:
1. Morphing Aesthetics: Seamless visual shifts between stark, minimalist daytime scenes and lavish, baroque nightmare sequences, reflecting Kain’s mental state.
2. Haunted Relationships: NPCs harbor dual identities—by day, they’re classmates; by night, they’re vessels for ancient desires Kain can exploit or redeem.
3. Corruption Meter: Luxuria’s influence visibly alters Kain’s in-game model (glowing eyes, shadow distortions) and unlocks risky shortcuts to story branches.
Tips:
1. Study the Shadows: Watch for flickering NPC silhouettes during daytime—subtle clues to their midnight personas.
2. Reject to Progress: Occasionally refusing Luxuria’s deals unlocks rare “pure human” story routes with unique endings.
3. Grind Smart: Part-time jobs boost stats needed for critical late-game checks, but skip too many, and Eclipse events spiral beyond control.
