More about this game

You play as Elaria, a widowed wood elf raising seven daughters in a dwarven mountain. The goal is to guide their futures by balancing three heritage meters: Roots, Flame, and Bond. The core loop involves reading story chapters, making dialogue choices that shift these values by up to 14 points, and speaking directly to your daughters at the council. The run ends after chapter five, where your final meter balance and a Bond score of 60 or higher determine the family's legacy.

Tips

Watch the three meters at the top of the screen; choices can shift Roots, Flame, or Bond by up to 14 points.
During the council, asking a daughter a question increases your Bond meter by 3 points, helping you reach the 60 points needed.
To get the balanced ending, keep the difference between your Roots and Flame meters at 18 points or less by chapter five.
