WHAT DO YOU DESIRE?
 

HOWEVER ODD OR HOWEVER WONDERFUL,
 

IT CAN ALWAYS COME TRUE.

FIRST VISUAL NOVEL

—STORY—

bg_streets5.jpg

Once an impoverished boy, Ecout Kanovos lands a job as a recruit for the authoritative force of the city of Enonoia: the Master Order Trained Hire. However, Ecout soon realizes that this work exceeds his expectations of delivering any sort of justice.
 

Amidst the chaos of sudden abductions and riots, an otherworldly atmosphere looms just beyond the recesses of the city's society. From a dubious state prison, Ecout frees Otis: a peculiar young man with a beastly visage who promises to return the favor with an ability to grant any wish.

 

Could this power repair Ecout's life before it crumbles along with the city, or will the events that follow mark his undoing? What awaits you in the end is yet to be found.

ECOUT KANOVOS (19)

Even after being an official member of the Master Order Trained Hire, the city's police force, for a year since the completion of his year-long training, the reserved nature of the story's lead ends up getting him into more trouble than intended.

CAROL KANOVOS (17)

Having seen more than enough hardship since they ended up with less than enough of a fortune, Ecout's sister opts for a job at their neighborhood's local coffee shop. Even so, knowing what her older brother fought for in her stead never made her any more humble.

NOAH TOLSTOY (31)

Ecout's supervisor taught the young man all about what it means to be a police officer in a way not unlike Ecout's father might have if he were still in service. One can only wonder if there's a sterner side to this seasoned veteran who's always looked for the best in everyone.

LOUISE ALKAEV (18)

She hasn't seen action for long, but that won't stop her from taking whatever risks necessary to get what she wants when she wants it. Because of her strong will and unfaltering commitment, it might be inevitable that she ends up butting heads with Ecout's reluctance.

JOANNE EDISON (21)

Instead of working toward a proper uprising with her peers as a member of an insurgent organization, her priority lies in breaking the law and causing mischief simply to have some fun while getting by. She's not a high-profile criminal only because her evasive skill is unmatched.

MELANIE CALLISTO (28)

Less obvious than her desire to uproot the police force and reinstate a new reign upon the city of Enonoia is her background. However, her collected, unfazed persona reveals just how passionate she is about keeping the rebel alliance intact.

OTIS (20)

Although more cheerful than Ecout expected when he freed this eccentric young man from prison, finding freedom might be a good enough reason to put on a smile. And yet, if only because of unheard-of, inhuman features, Ecout can't bring himself to see him as an ordinary person.

—FEATURES—

cg1-04.jpg

Ovine Replica is an adventure-style visual novel: a text-based game with emphasis on a story—featuring illustrations and a soundtrack—which readers can enjoy at their own pace.

​

• Multiple endings to a tale of suspense and intrigue shed new light on possibilities of what could be and what could have been. Choices made will lead to different outcomes in unexpected ways as your true intentions become evident. Decide for yourself if the city of Enonoia is a utopia or dystopia in need of your own ambition.

​

•Event CGs (dynamic illustrated scenes) are spread throughout the story, complementing a number of key scenes with fresh art from Aiyuu as much as each new track from composers Matthew L. and Strung.


• With a blend of inspiration taken from other tense, terrifying visual novels like Chaos;Head and atmospheric, moody role-playing games like Shin Megami Tensei™, dread may loom over the reader alongside enchantment. In an already-foreign world, the true mysteries have yet to be solved, and the biggest surprises have yet to be discovered.
