A homebrew Nintendo DS game that takes advantage of the dual screens much like Hotel Dusk. This free Nintendo DS ROM can be played on any emulator, but DeSmuMe in particular allows for the screen to be rotated. Try playing it on your flashcart or modded NDS/2DS/3DS.

Inspired by Gothic Romance stories such as:

• Ken's Mystery
• Carmilla
• Crimson Peak
• Dracula
• The Fall of the House of Usher

This visual novel's story weaves a tale of love, mystery, and monsters. The art direction is inspired by the work of RHLPixels, a true master of pixel art.
