Elisa and Sasha’s leap into entrepreneurship—a charming bistro purchased from the enigmatic Jack—quickly unravels as crushing debt and relentless pressure strain their marriage. While Sasha obsesses over spreadsheets, Elisa finds herself drawn into a shadowy network of patrons who blur the line between admiration and obsession. Among them is The Velvet Circle, a secret society offering financial salvation in exchange for clandestine "performances" that test her loyalty. As Elisa navigates risqué tea ceremonies, voyeuristic bathhouse encounters, and Sasha’s own desperate attempts to rekindle their spark, she discovers the Circle’s true goal: to claim her as their muse. Will she resist their gilded traps, or rewrite her vows in the name of survival?
Gameplay
Desire & Debt Balancing – Allocate time between managing the restaurant’s finances and indulging patrons’ requests. Ignore debts, and the bank seizes assets; neglect temptation, and the Circle sabotages your reputation.
Event Resonance – Choices in key scenarios (e.g., the Public Bath) ripple across timelines: reject a patron’s advance, and they return with blackmail; accept, and Sasha grows suspicious, altering later interactions.
Wardrobe Warfare – Customize Elisa’s outfits to unlock exclusive events: a conservative dress sways traditional investors, while bold attire lures high-risk patrons offering greater rewards.
Key Features
Lust Evolution Matrix – Elisa’s "Corruption Level" evolves through seven stages, each unlocking new dialogue options and altering her interactions with Sasha, from guilt-ridden confessions to defiant power plays.
Patron Web – Build relationships with individual clients whose preferences shift dynamically. A rejected tea ceremony guest might become a vengeful critic or a secret ally.
Sasha’s Silent Struggle – Monitor Sasha’s stress via subtle cues (sleepless nights, cryptic notes). Calm him with affection or gaslight him to exploit his naivety for short-term gains.
Pro Tips
The Midnight Ledger – Review finances after midnight to discover hidden cash injections from the Circle, but staying up late drains Elisa’s resolve, making her prone to temptation.
Outfit Roulette – Cycle through three outfits in a single day to trigger overlapping events, though this risks Sasha noticing inconsistencies in Elisa’s behavior.
Guilt Purge – After a lust event, immediately initiate a "Sasha Sex" interaction to reduce his suspicion by 50%, but overuse numbs his intuition, making him oblivious to later betrayals.
