Captivate someone’s heart

You, along with your two workmates—Lilia and Irma— planned to do a small Halloween party in your apartment to release some stress and take a short break from developing your visual novel. However, things got out of hand once the horror stories came out. More, you accidentally put a spell on Lilia, who is also your childhood friend. Trying to save her life before the time runs out, you will embark on an adventure with impatient and impulsive Irma.

As you go on a journey, you will realize your true feelings between your two workmates and the decision of whom as well as how you’ll end up is heavily based on your choices in the game.
