The Eternal Winter.

This was the name of the curse that killed the heirs of the Esternian Empire, whose heartlessness and cruelty were known far and wide. The bearer of the curse would be born with a small fragment of ice near their heart. As they grew older, the ice would slowly encroach upon their heart and encase it until they die. Although the age of death varies, none of them made it past their 20th year.

And so, the Esternian Empire met its doom and was replaced by another ruling family.

One day, the Estern family’s last descendant and bearer of the curse discovered a possible way to break it. But can she believe in a solution derived from a long-lost fairy tale? Is 'true love' the answer to her family's long-lasting predicament? And if it is, will she ever learn to truly love someone?

The final game will contain the following features:

• Around 6 to 10 hours of content for you to read and learn about Lumine's fate, and the world that surrounds her;
• A warm and quirky cast of characters, each with their own agenda - and beautiful sprites to boot!
• Three love interests to pursue, each with their unique route. Expect some bad endings along the way;
• Partial voice-acting by a cast of talented voice actors;
• An original soundtrack made exclusively for Eternal Winter;
• 10 CGs to bring an extra punch to those emotional moments!

The current build contains a fraction of these features, and covers nearly the entire Common Route and two Love Interest's routes. The word count is currently sitting at around 81K.

The entire team will continue working hard to deliver the final version of Eternal Winter to you, so stay tuned for future updates!
