Summona Realm: The Secret Flame

Welcome
Hello! I'm Odd Ember, a solo developer and artist working on my own projects. Summona Realm is my very first project, and there’s still a lot of work ahead. But more than anything, I hope to bring an engaging story that everyone will enjoy. 
This story is divided into several parts, beginning with the first chapter, "The Secret Flame".
Overview
Summona Realm: The Secret Flame is a striking black-and-white visual novel where you explore atmospheric locations and make pivotal choices to reveal a hidden truth.

Prologue...
This is the story of a peculiar man with a mysterious past, on the way to redeem his sins.
Though the tale unfolds with humor and cheerful moments, beneath it lies a deep sorrow, unanswered questions about what human is.
Yet, this is a journey of hope. A journey of self-discovery. It doesn’t promise all the answers but even through pain and despair, the light of hope shines brighter than anything else.
