About
A complete three-act adult political-fantasy and memory mystery about a city that made shared recollection a constitutional resource. Maelin's investigation follows the Glass Ribbon, the Archive of Echoes, the nine-court chamber, the Mirror Trial, and the Council Terrace. The route descriptions change evidence, witness integrity, court trust, private memory, and Maelin's adult relationships. Five direct canonical endings—ending_open_court, ending_mirror_covenant, ending_diplomatic_silence, ending_rewritten_succession, and ending_nine_courts—resolve the public record, succession, archive custody, peace, and chosen relationship. Planned art consists of six 1280x720 backgrounds and four identity-continuous adult character portraits. Planned music consists of six distinct instrumental Yue themes with transition and animation cues.
