Hi! I’ve released my first game to #MFGJSummer2023 today. It’s a visual novel!

https://rosesrot.itch.io/mortal-coil

Summary: You’re Ikuyo, an up-and-coming FPS gamer on the world’s biggest video & streaming platform: Eidolon. Your sister Sonoko is the Eidolon goddess @flowerfall: loved by millions for her modelling, self-care, and genuine authenticity.

And she’s just been cancelled.

Ikuyo struggles to reach her sister amid the storms of controversy, confused that Sonoko isn’t acknowledging the drama that’s raging on. Sonoko’s only response? It’s to join the 99th season of the televised death game, MORTAL COIL.

Frantic, afraid, and desperate: Ikuyo must choose whether to follow Sonoko into the depths of destruction, risking her life to save her sister who seems all too eager to play.

Will Sonoko slip away from Ikuyo’s grasp? Or will their fates be far worse than that?
