DEMO | SPOTIFY | ROs VELMOURA ID | WORLD OF ORIALIS
Welcome to Velmoura City — where safety is promised... but never delivered.
A city full of wealthy families, mysterious strangers, hidden lies...
and killings?
Within this city, the top elite rule — the Old Families. The Old Trinity:
The Ōno (大野) Family — a very old and widespread surname. A mystery. They could be tied to a farming heritage or noble lineage from the broad flatlands... but in truth? No one knows. Secrets are their family tradition.
The Leavitt Family — deeply rooted in ancestry and influence, a 'beloved friend' of the other two. Influential in politics, defense, education, and public leadership. Name it, they’re there.
And lastly — The Donleavy Family. The Gatekeepers. Aristocrats of the old world, they guard the city gates and rarely step outside their sunless estate. Their valley manor, Lemorne, is said to be shrouded in mist, even at noon. But no one knows the truth, because no one has seen their manor—or even knows where it is.
It is also said that one of the Donleavy daughters vanished twenty years ago. And she's still missing. Some say she’s dead, but who knows?
The family says nothing and they have kept their silence for centuries, not out of loyalty, but because their tongues were cut out by the founder. They still smile, but you’ll never know what hides behind those smiles.
Everything is a mystery in this city.
Your life. Everyone around you. Even your brother’s death. His sudden death changed everything... your life, and the city itself.
New face. New identity. New life?
But the questions don’t stop, and neither does the danger.
What really happened to your brother? Who’s pulling the strings in this city? And why are they watching you now?
In a city built on rules, you’ve already broken the first one: Ask nothing.
Because here, the truth isn’t free. It comes with a price. Sometimes, it costs everything.
Are you ready to face it? Remember: this city itself is a lie.
But love?
Love is the deadliest secret of all.
You wanted the truth. She wanted you. Now neither of you will let go.
Because in Velmoura... The truth isn’t the only thing that kills.
Sometimes... love does too.

—ROMANCE OPTIONS—
💍 The Heiress: Valencia — Your (Brother’s) Fiancée
Your soon-to-be wife.
She thinks she’s in love with you(r brother...). She’s said it a hundred times, lived it for twelve long years. But now that you’re acting... different. Softer, warmer, more genuine. Her heart’s starting to trip over itself. This is the first time she’s fluttered like this. This never happened before, so why now? The more time she spends with you, the more confused she becomes, the more she begins to question everything. Who did she really fall for? You or your brother? 🤫
Background: She’s the heiress of one of the city's oldest and wealthiest families. She’s been trained in elegance and etiquette, but when it comes to expressing her feelings… she’s a disaster.
🧊 The Mysterious Transferee: Vireau — The aloof student in the last row
She avoids everyone... except you.
She’s a transfer student. Nobody knows much about her. Some say she’s a foreign exchange student. Others whisper about a dark past or an “incident” that forced her midyear arrival. None of it seems to faze her. She never talks unless she has to. She keeps her distance. But with you, something cracks. Her cold walls start to melt. For the first time, she speaks without being forced to. She listens, even when she pretends not to. And though her heart is locked behind layers of frost and fear, you sense it...
A loneliness that mirrors your own.
A secret too painful to say aloud.
And a dangerous tenderness that might just ruin you both.
Background: A mystery. Even she doesn’t want you to know where she’s from or what she’s running from. The real reason she’s keeping everyone out may be more painful than you imagined. But as her walls fall, you’ll see a girl terrified of losing what little she has left, especially you.
🌸 The Perfect Girlfriend: Gu (顾) — Too Perfect to Be Real
Everyone loves her. But who is she, really?
She’s everyone's dream girl: smart, kind, graceful, and practically flawless. She’s top of the class, adored by peers, trusted by adults. She always knows the right thing to say, the right move to make. But sometimes, her perfection feels... too perfect. The closer you get, the more cracks you see. Beneath the mask, someone else might be watching and waiting to be seen.
Background: A top student with the perfect record, the perfect smile, and the perfect secrets.
😤 Your "Favorite" Headache: Vega — Your Grumpy Hotheaded Deskmate
She hates everyone, especially you.
Your deskmate is sarcastic, moody, and impossible to deal with. She snaps at everyone and glares like it’s a hobby. You’re no exception... until you are. She doesn’t know how to handle her feelings, so she hides them behind jabs and rolled eyes. But when push comes to shove, she’ll stand by you, even before admitting she cares.
Background: She comes from a tough upbringing and doesn’t trust easily. But with you, she’s learning that maybe—just maybe—it’s safe to feel.
🔪 The ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇: Unknown "Juno" — Secret Route
She's been here all along. You just didn’t notice.
A hidden romance path, only unlockable through certain choices. She might be a side character, an NPC, or even someone you thought was irrelevant. Sweet at first glance, but her love runs deeper and darker than anyone else’s. She watches. She waits. She believes no one else deserves you, and she’ll do anything to keep you safe... especially from the people you care about. And if you get too close to anyone else, she won’t just break. She’ll shatter, and take everything with her.
She doesn’t want to share you. She doesn’t think she should have to.
Background: She’s always been by your side. Even before you met. And now that you’ve seen her… there’s no going back.

Hello! I just wanted to say how excited I am for this IF, personally I’m actually really excited about the gender locked female aspect of the story and how it will play into everything. The idea of the MC disguising herself is also an aspect I really like as I feel it can lead to really interesting dynamics with some characters! Overall I’m very excited to learn more both about game mechanics as well as the various characters. I hope you have a good day or night and know that you’re idea is really interesting and myself and I’m sure others are very excited to see more of it!
thank you so much for the incredibly kind message, anon!! 🥹 it means the world to me that you’re excited about the gender-locked aspect and the MC’s disguise. those were such important narrative choices for me and i’m so glad they stood out to you! 🙈
i’m also really thrilled that you’re curious about the character dynamics and game mechanics 🫶 i've been putting a lot of thought into how everything connects behind the scenes, and knowing that people are looking forward to it is so motivating 🙈🥰
hope you’re having a lovely day/night too! and thank you again for taking the time to send this. it truly made me smile ^^ 💌

To those anons who wanted the game to be gender-customizable, I'm really sorry, but for now, I can’t give you what you wanted.
Originally, this book was meant to be gender-customizable, since the siblings’ genders were an important part of the plot. If you chose a male MC, you’d get a sister; if you chose a female MC, you’d get a brother. But I’ve decided to scrap that.
Mainly because... I just can’t write a male MC. This is my first IF game. I’ve written short stories before, but only in my native language—so writing in English is already a challenge. Adding gender customization would only make it harder.
That said, removing that option made the story’s outline a lot clearer to me. Everything flows more naturally now, and ideas come to me faster. Another reason is that I’ve always wanted to publish a yuri or queer romance IF game. I haven’t seen many games made just for girls—especially ones that center on wlw stories. I know there are gender-customizable ones out there, but it feels different to create something that’s dedicated to the wlw and queer community. 🩷
This story not only focuses on wlw love, but it also explores the MC’s journey of self-discovery—whether that means embracing her identity as a lesbian, questioning her gender, or figuring out who she is beyond labels. These realizations won’t happen instantly, and that’s okay. They’re part of her growth, and the answers will come naturally over time.
I also want to address something, since my inbox has been flooded with a lot of hate asks lately. While I expected some backlash, it’s still disheartening. I didn’t think it would be this intense. I had already prepared myself for the worst, knowing that this wouldn’t be what some of you wanted. I understand it’s an “interactive” story, so some of you expected full customization.
Still, some of those messages really discouraged me from continuing for a while. That’s why the blog’s been quiet—I needed time to reflect.
Also, English isn’t my first language, so I do struggle with complex words sometimes. But other than that, I’m doing okay!
I’ve been working on the character profiles too, especially important ones like the MC’s brother. (Shout-out to the anon who wanted more facts about him—I see you! 👀)
You’ll get them! I just need your patience. I’m also working during the day and renovating my house, so... yeah. I hope you understand. I’m getting there! As for the coding part—it’s going slow, as usual 😂
But I’ve already confirmed where I’ll upload the game! It’s going to be made with ChoiceScript. I know a lot of people say Twine is great because you can fully customize the UI and all that. But it also tends to have more bugs, especially if you’re not that confident with coding. ChoiceScript just feels less stressful when it comes to fixing things, so I’m sticking with that. 👀
Gender locked female again? -,- There are more and more of them. You find a cool sounding IF - you're excluded because it has to be with female locked MC.
Yes, the MC is gender-locked as female. I understand that might not appeal to everyone and that’s totally okay! There are many amazing IFs out there with full gender customization, and I truly encourage you to explore the ones that speak to you.
For this story, though, the female experience is core to the narrative. A big part of the emotional journey comes from the MC disguising herself as a man in a world that demands it, and the struggles that come with that.
Also, to be honest, I’m more comfortable writing female protagonists. I don’t feel confident enough yet to write a male MC especially one as complex and central as this. That might change someday. Maybe I’ll grow and explore other perspectives in future projects. If that happens, I might revisit this story or create another one with more customization.
I apologize if that’s disappointing. But for now, I want to tell this story as authentically and strongly as I can, and that means keeping the MC female.
