Solve the mystery plaguing a small town with the help of 5 love interests in this romance visual novel.

The story takes place in a small town in North Carolina, a place steeped in urban legends and strange tales. The townsfolk are extremely proud of their history and lean into the supernatural reputation to draw in tourists. Even the high school’s basketball team is called "The VereWolves" as a playful nod to the town’s alleged werewolf sightings.

You’ve moved to Verbena after the death of your brother, a decision your parents made to reconnect with old family ties and history. For you, the move stirs up memories, whether they’re comforting or painful is still up for debate. Adjusting to a new home is hard, and fitting in at school is even harder. Thankfully (or maybe not), you find yourself caught in a strange situation that brings you closer to five other students. Together, you form an unlikely group when the police dismiss what you all witnessed as pure nonsense......with evidence to back it up.

While the town thrives on supernatural stories, not all of them are true... right? The rest of the group is unsure what to believe, but you know deep down something strange is at play. Especially when the mysterious being, Pandora, who seems to have taken up residence in your mind, confirms your suspicions.

The question is, can you trust him? Or is he one of the many residents that just want to use you for their own gain?

There are 5 romanceable characters (2 females, 3 males). They all have their own unique personalities, backstories, hopes and dreams, will you be able to win their hearts?

Evan is a flirty, reckless guy with a passion for music. His desperate attempts to avoid his responsibilities often lead him into doing dangerous, stupid things. If he doesn’t think about it, he doesn’t have to worry about it, right?

Being the golden child has always been tough, with the constant pressure of never-ending expectations weighing him down. He’s a stoic guy who struggles to express his emotions. Though he might come off as cold, underneath it all, he has a heart of gold.

Being the mayor’s child might seem easy, but with everyone’s eyes on you all the time, can you actually do what you want? Can you actually be who you want to be? She’s a fiery girl and extremely loyal to the people closest to her

Madeleine tries to please everyone, hiding her true self behind a perfect facade. Her drive for success only adds to the pressure. She tries to get along with everyone, but eventually her mission to be everyone’s friend starts to backfire.

Growing up was tough for Timothy, and fitting in with his peers was even harder. As a reserved guy, he'd rather be left alone. But when he does form a connection, everything changes, and he'll do whatever it takes to keep them close.
