The Brides of Anemone Beach: Storybook Horror

"Love can be so very selfish and cruel. It's much like greed in that way."

Fight to be the last one standing to win the heart of a lonely prince in this tense, tumultuous storybook-turned-horror visual novel. Will you be as cutthroat as your peers or retain your integrity through it all?

"The tragic tale of a prince reaches the ears of all those in lands far and wide. He lives on a beautiful island alone save for his sole attendant, buried in unimaginable wealth and beauty but with no one to share it with. Such a terrible fate could not be the end of his story.

And it is not."

Play as protagonist Creek as she arrives on Anemone Beach at the behest of her father, a fisherman's daughter with scales and guts still stuck to her fingers as she tries to stand out (and survive) amongst royalty, power and professional seducers. Choose who to trust and who to take out, and make an impact on the lonely prince.
