Star Knightess Aura

Summary Follow Aura's adventure as she is thrust into the fantasy world of Roya. What she initially believed to follow the conventional plotline of a "summoned to another world"-story quickly turns into her worst nightmare. Cursed by the Demon King, Aura must now struggle every night to track down her nemesis and ultimately strike him down. But her enemies don't just lurk in Roya. Having entered her mind through the Demon King's curse, another enemy attempts to brainwash and corrupt Aura from the inside. Faced with a two-pronged attack against her body and mind, can Aura finish off her worst enemy without losing herself? Gameplay Each ingame day is structured into 3 parts. The player controls Aura and can explore the world of Roya to track down and kill the Demon King. In order to become stronger, acquire funds, and advance her search, she can rely on her own powers or ask people for help. However, not everybody means well with Aura. Performing lewd acts and compromising on Aura's ideals by allowing innocents to suffer causes Aura to gain corruption. The player controls Alicia, who uses Aura's corruption to change her psyche. This includes changing her interests, increasing her interest in fashion, changing her appearance (including hair style/color changes), changing her values (making Aura more selfish), and ultimately changing her sexual desire and love interests. The player watches cutscenes displaying Aura's real self changing over time due to mental corruption. The cutscenes are told from varying character perspectives (Aura, her best friend Rose, her boyfriend George, and so on). Key Features Strategic Combat with limited resources - All resources, including time, money, and items, must be used with care to get the most out of them in Aura's journey! Semi-Open World - Explore the vast world of Roya! Hunt for rare materials to infuse into Aura's armor, slay demons, and help our heroine rise from zero in an unfair world! Challenging and creative boss fights - Battles are set up as puzzles that test your understanding of the combat system. Exploit hidden weaknesses, disable environmental effects, and teach Aura skills that allow her to counter whatever her enemies throw at her. Most encounters may seem impossible at first, but a solution will always reveal itself to those who don't give up thinking! Balance corruption and progress - Give in to temptation to make your life easier, and it might cause the curse to progress to the point where Aura's personality changes towards evil... However, clinging too firmly to your ideals can slow down your progress, and Aura might become a victim of the curse nonetheless. Balance is key! Collar Removal - In exchange for damaging her soul and gaining corruption, Aura can forcefully overcome her curse and temporarily regain her powers as a Hero - Smash any encounter and obstacle to pieces! However, using this power accelerates the curse... 5 Difficulty Modes - Don't like the time pressure from the ever-advancing curse? Reducing the difficulty to one of the lower difficulties allows you to take it easy or enjoy the story. Or ramp the difficulty up all the way to Nightmare to get the full masochistic experience of a cursed heroine (Only recommended for veteran gamers).
