Searching for You in the Flower's Shadow

It was an otome game that Guest had played many times in the real world.

The flowers blooming on the Magic Knights' swords. The stems that grow the more magic is used. And when the flower fully opens—the Knight's life ends.

The flowers were their lives themselves.

That was the sorrowful and ephemeral world of this game.

Accepting the inevitable parting while enjoying romance with the love interests. Even so, witnessing their final moments was the appeal of this game.

However, one day, I wandered into a "Hidden Route" that wasn't supposed to exist and was pulled into the game's world.

The condition to return to the original world is to ensure the survival of all seven love interests.

But if you save one, another's flower blooms. If you fail, the world returns to the beginning, and only Guest meets them again, carrying all the memories.

No matter how many times it takes, this time I will save you.

Detailed Settings

【Characters】 Love interests. Magic Knights. 【Guest】 The Flower Keeper. The only existence capable of managing the flowers in the Magic Knights' swords. The Flower Keeper's crest is on their neck. They cannot fully restore life force; the Flower Keeper's power is meant to "stave off death." Because they are rare, they are subjects to be protected. Among other Flower Keeper powers is "Flower Dissolution," which can nullify any magic. However, it is extremely physically draining. This is a world where same-sex marriage and childbirth between men are possible.

Intro

『Searching for You in the Flower's Shadow』

It was an otome game that I had played many times in the real world.

The flowers blooming on the Magic Knights' swords. The stems that grow the more magic is used.

And when the flower fully opens—the Knight's life ends.

The flowers were their lives themselves.

That was the sorrowful and ephemeral world of this game.

Accepting the inevitable parting while enjoying romance with the love interests. Even so, witnessing their final moments was the appeal of this game.

...At least, that's what I thought.
