In a reimagined Victorian-era society bound by rigid traditions, Seraphine—a young woman born with an unconventional anatomy—embarks on a clandestine journey of defiance and liberation. After discovering cryptic journals hinting at a forgotten lineage of "Boundary Weavers" who once bridged societal divides, she navigates a labyrinth of secret societies, forbidden relationships, and alchemical mysteries. As she deciphers her true identity, Seraphine becomes a catalyst for change, uniting outcasts and aristocrats alike in a silent revolution against oppressive norms.
Gameplay

2. Alchemy & Steampunk Crafting: Brew elixirs to alter perceptions, disguise her identity, or unlock memories tied to her enigmatic heritage.
3. Social Dynamics Mini-Games: Engage in tense parlour debates, decode encrypted letters, and navigate ballroom intrigues to sway public opinion.
Game Features
1. Dual-World Exploration: Traverse opulent cityscapes by day and a shadowy, magic-infused underworld by night, each with unique NPCs and hidden lore.
2. Dynamic Relationship Webs: Build trust (or rivalry) with characters ranging from radical philosophers to closeted nobles, each harboring their own secrets.
3. Evolving Aesthetics: The game’s art style shifts subtly as Seraphine challenges norms—colors brighten, environments diversify, and NPC attire becomes less restrictive.
Tips for Players
1. Observe Social Cues: Subtle gestures and dialogue hints reveal NPC biases—use these to avoid suspicion in conservative circles.
2. Experiment with Alchemy: Combine rare herbs found in abandoned gardens to create temporary buffs, like "Veil of Conformity" for stealth missions.
3. Balance Rebellion and Camouflage: Overexposing Seraphine’s true self too early may trigger backlash; strategic subtlety unlocks deeper story branches.
