In the face of such, keep your wits close, but do not trust them. Trust not yourself, nor your senses. Your time, nor your wit.
For where time has stopped, but its flow has no end. For when passion calls, but hate runs deep.
Heed this warning, and do not wait. For laws of nature and laws of man. Have no logic, and have no weight."

In a game inspired by the lore of Dragon and Fae, Alaris is a fantasy-romance visual novel that lets you customize your character for a dynamic and immersive experience steeped in magic. With choices that can shape your story, relationships, and even personality, will you choose to be brave, kind, wise, or charismatic? Only you know the answer to your fate.

In fact, it has prospered. Humans, beings once unable to use magic, have now dethroned dragons as the strongest in the world. With dragon energy at their fingertips, humans live in a utopia ruled by peace.However, not all is as it seems… What forces are lurking under the surface, threatening to expose truths that have been long forgotten and disrupt this utopia?
Play as a renowned healer, as you uncover the history that’s never been told but is ever important to the problems faced today.

Many game mechanics, such as Energy Vision, the Codex, and the Personality feature are present in the demo for you all to play around with.
