Nuitépine.

　　For centuries it has grown, cursing the land and releasing beasts that devour the people. It is only a matter of time before this malevolent forest engulfs the world...

　　Prince Perrin of Lysaria is loved by the people yet despised by their family, save for their sickly mother. In order to keep the peace, Perrin has constantly bent to their father's whims while tolerating the despicable behavior of their two elder brothers. However, with the impending transfer of the crown, Perrin realizes they have little time left to secure the freedom and happiness of themselves, their mother, and the Kingdom of Lysaria.

　　Join Perrin as their fate slowly intertwines with Nuitépine in their desperate attempt to protect all that they hold dear.

　　Nuitépine is a dark fantasy otome that is set to have three routes. This demo was created for the Once Upon A Time VN Jam and takes loose inspiration from the famous fairy tale "Sleeping Beauty", offering a genderbent twist on the well-known characters.

　　NOTE: None of the LIs will appear in the demo.
