Release date (Windows, Mac OS, Linux) English: July 1st, 2026

"The Ashbrook family has always been born beneath an unfortunate star. They aren’t destined to lose their lives at sea, nor lose their fortunes to disaster, however.

Yet that doesn’t stop you, the youngest Ashbrook, from trying to defy that fate. Clearly other Ashbrooks of the past just haven’t tried hard enough.

Having fallen in love for the first time, you’ve set yourself to the task of throwing aside a tradition of heartbreak and earning the affection of one Prof. Heron Renaude. With the help of your dearest attendant, and with the backdrop of the romantic Reedford Manor, your brother’s countryside home, surely you’ll prove yourself more powerful than fate.

...Won’t you?"

The audience is dying to find out! We're hoping for plenty of human drama and maybe a bit of romance!' 'The guided part of the tour is over. Your life in the wasteland begins now! We shall await the conclusion of your story with bated breath!'"
