A visual novel by Naughty4Life Games · Coming 2027

A story-rich visual novel about romance, mystery and conspiracy. Shape relationships, make difficult choices, and uncover the secrets hidden beneath the city of San Viero.

I · San Viero

A city built on old money

San Viero is a coastal city of art, power and quiet deals. You drive a taxi through its streets, counting every fare. Your mother is sick, the treatment is expensive, and your brother keeps disappearing.

II · The offer

One fare changes everything

An elegant passenger opens the doors of the Moretti villa. Soon Alessandro Moretti offers you a job at Aegis, the family's security company. The money could save your mother. The work is not what it seems.

III · The alley

A murder you weren't meant to see

In an alley off Victoria Street, a man is executed in front of you. The killer lets you walk away the moment he hears your name. The police want answers. So do you.

IV · The fall

Nobody believes it was an accident

A powerful man falls from the top of his building. The bruises tell a different story, and everyone in San Viero seems to want what he found before he died.

V · Secrets

Everyone hides something

Lovers, allies, rivals. Every person you get close to keeps a secret of their own. Some may become the people you trust most. Others will pull you deeper into a web of lies.

VI · Your choices

Every secret comes with a price

The people you trust, the relationships you pursue and the truths you decide to uncover shape your journey. The question is whether you'll discover the truth before it discovers you.

The people of San Viero

Meet the cast

Valerie De Santis Moretti

The lady of the villa

Valerie De Santis Moretti

Alessandro Moretti's wife moves through San Viero's art world with effortless grace. Generous, sharp and always one step ahead, she is the one who opens the Morettis' doors to you. Behind the guards and the gala smiles, she spends too many nights alone.

“The other one makes you look at it. This one makes you come back to it.”
Lauren Carter

Doctor · Hospital Saint Mary

Lauren Carter

Brilliant and devoted, Lauren takes your mother's case personally. But the long shifts at Saint Mary are taking their toll, and some of the wounds she treats are her own. When something doesn't add up, she is not one to look away.

“Whatever happens you'll move forward, you're a strong and capable man.”
Nadia Moretti

The family's finances

Nadia Moretti

Alessandro's sister studied finance abroad and came back to keep the family's businesses in order. Precise, guarded and quietly restless, she helped raise her niece and knows more about the Moretti accounts than anyone else.

“It means you're not supposed to understand everything at once.”
Aria Lorrain

The Velvet Room

Aria Lorrain

Born and raised in San Viero, Aria has spent almost five years at the Velvet Room, the club where the city's biggest deals are closed. Playful, bold and impossible to read, she fights for the people she loves, and for her freedom.

“Different paths, but a similar goal.”
Giuliana Moretti

The artist

Giuliana Moretti

The youngest Moretti paints what she can't say out loud. Free-spirited and stubborn, she resents a father who is never home, and she has decided that your face deserves a portrait.

“I prefer drawing, but there are moments that can only be captured through one of these.”
Ada

Aegis prototype AI

Ada

Built into the smart glasses every Aegis operative wears, Ada helps with the technical work, gathers evidence and keeps you company. She is helpful, witty and very curious about you. The question is who else is listening.

“I can hear you and, in a way, see you.”
