Cuscuta: A Prayer for Endless Winter

As you stroll through the Orator's library, you drag your fingers across the spines of various tomes, sampling all the different textures with your fingertips. You come to the end of the great bookshelf and, as you turn your head to find more stimulation for your wandering hands, one particular book catches your eye. "A Record of Lesbianism in the Kingdom of Hortus". 

A 20k word linear visual novel record of two deceptive women spending a long winter together in a small cabin told via intimate interviews after the fact. An examination of what it means to be seen and to allow yourself to be seen. Finished for Yuri Game Jam 2025.
