Fate's Masquerade: Otome Visual Novel [DEMO]

As the sole survivor of a purged noble house, your mission is clear: infiltrate the Imperial Palace as a governess and uncover the truth that buried your family.

However, beneath the glittering facade of the Imperial Court lies a world of blood debts, calculated manipulation, and dangerous obsession. You must play a game of cat and mouse with men who would ruin you just as easily as they would ruin the world for you.

In this deadly masquerade, the most dangerous thing beneath the mask is your own heart.

Will you expose the monsters, outmaneuver them... or become their favorite toy?

LOVE INTERESTS

Maximilian Windrake (The Crimson Reaper)

Territory after territory fell beneath the shadow of this black-haired prince with eyes like bleeding rubies, expanding Ravensburg into the sprawling empire it is today. The war may be over, but he cannot lay down his armor. He does not converse; he commands. Will you endure the cold judgment of the Crimson Reaper, or make the conqueror your conquest?

Lucian Windrake (The Enigmatic Enchanter)

Free from the weight of the crown, the second prince knows how to have more fun. Beloved by all, he’s a ray of sunshine wherever he goes. Yet something about him feels… off. He seems to know everything, appears everywhere, and asks the most damning questions. Will you survive his psychological games, or will you allow yourself to be trapped in a golden cage?

SIDE CHARACTERS

Victoria Rosemoore

If perfection exists, then she is it. The only daughter of the Grand Duke, she is beautiful, powerful, and betrothed to the crown prince. She doesn't just get what she wants; she eliminates what she doesn't. Right now, her attention is focused on the one thing she didn't anticipate: you.

Nerissa Valeine

Draped in silk and jewels, she is a ghostly figure wandering the palace in silence. Her eyes hold the chilling wisdom of someone who has survived the impossible. To the court, she is invisible, but to you, she is a living warning of the fate that awaits those whom the Windrakes 'love.'

Amelia Windrake

She is the only pure thing in a palace steeped in old blood. She is sweet and curious, but tragically unaware of the monsters lurking in her home. As her governess, your job is to protect her. But in such a treacherous court, can any child remain untouched?

♡ Customizable Heroine

Choose your heroine and protect your heritage. Will you maintain your façade, or will your true identity be your downfall?

♡ Two Unique Routes

Navigate two distinct, high-stakes storylines. Will you submit to the crown prince's iron-fisted justice, or get caught up in the spymaster's psychological games?

♡ 8+ Endings

In a court of vipers, “happily ever after” is never guaranteed. Navigate betrayal, regicide, and obsession. Will you fall victim to the guillotine, become a prisoner in a gilded cage, or rise as a powerful, unconventional empress?

♡ Spicy Scenes

When the palace walls close in around you, find solace in the heat of forbidden moments. Your progress is rewarded with intense, passionate encounters where the princes drop their imperial facades and reveal their rawest, most feral desires.

♡ Animated characters & CGs

Experience every predatory smirk, panicked blush, and heartbroken glance. With fully animated characters and stunning CGs, the danger and the passion feel close enough to touch.

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.
