Fate's Masquerade: Otome Visual Novel [DEMO]

As a young child, you witnessed the downfall of your noble house, a tragedy shrouded in mystery. Who were your family members? Who killed them and why?

Years later, your search for answers leads you to the heart of the empire, where you become a governess to a young princess.

You try to steer clear of the court's dangerous intrigues until the princess falls seriously ill. This forces you to seek help from one of the two imperial princes.

Crown Prince Maximilian Windrake

Known across the Empire as the Crimson Reaper, he is a brilliant strategist and stoic warrior who is feared and revered equally by friends and foes. He prioritizes duty above all else, but behind his cold exterior is a man whom few truly know.

But the more you get to know him, the harder it becomes to resist his quiet strength and vulnerability hidden beneath his armor. Can you win his guarded heart and help him find happiness?

Prince Lucian Windrake

As the Empire’s infamous charmer, he is magnetic, cunning, and always one step ahead. His easy smile hides a world of secrets and dangerous dealings. He’s seductive, unpredictable, and utterly impossible to ignore. But behind his playful grin lies a web of secrets, shadows, and carefully crafted deception.

Will you uncover the truths he keeps hidden? Or will you lose yourself in the illusion he so expertly weaves?

You will be swept into a perilous game of power, betrayal, and war, where enemies lurk in plain sight and every decision has the power to tip the balance of the empire.

Will you uncover the truth about your past?

Will you survive the web of lies surrounding the throne?

When your heart is on the line, will love be your salvation or your downfall?

Then start your journey in Fate's Masquerade, where romance is as perilous as it is irresistible.

All characters are fully animated, bringing the story to life through detailed movements and rich expressions.

The major characters receive extra attention, making every glance, smile, and reaction feel truly alive.

This game is a true labor of love, born from my passion for otome games. Small Serenity Studio is as indie as it gets—it’s literally just me, a solo developer. I write the story, hand-draw the characters, animate them, code the game, and direct every scene. My wonderful, supportive husband helps with story brainstorming and script editing. The backgrounds come from curated assets at acon3d.com, and the soundtracks are from dova-s.jp.
