A girl whose touch dissolves anything she meets is swept into a steampunk London adventure alongside a gentleman thief and a crew of literary legends.
Who it's for: Otome fans who want an adventurous steampunk mystery with a strong ensemble cast and full voice acting.
The story (spoiler-free)
Cardia has lived alone in a mansion for years, shunned because her body carries a poison that melts whatever it touches. When soldiers come to seize her, a charming thief named Arsène Lupin steals her away instead, pulling her into a city of airships, smog and secret societies.
Her new companions are reimagined figures from 19th-century fiction and history, each with his own reasons for helping her uncover the truth about her condition and her missing father. The common route builds the mystery, then individual routes deepen each relationship and answer different pieces of the puzzle.
It mixes action, banter and slow-burn romance, and is often recommended as an approachable entry point into localized otome games.
