   The protagonist in this fantasy romance visual novel is the third princess of a kingdom that determines its citizens’ livelihoods based on their birth months. The princess was born with a birthmark on her forehead. It was considered to be a curse, so she had to live far away from the royal family.

   An omnibus adventure game that will take place in various afterlife worlds.
