Book One of a Dark Fantasy Interactive Trilogy

DEMO - TBA (September)

Klealetria is an elven continent divided by the bloodlines the Sun has blessed and those it has not.

The Marked are those the Sun has chosen. Born with magical affinities, they occupy positions of power, privilege, and influence throughout the continent.

The Hollow are those the Sun has rejected. Devoid of magic, they have learned to survive without the blessing that was never theirs.

You are neither.

You are something you do not yet have a name for. Something wrong.

Decades after your mother’s disappearance, your search for answers leads you to the Halidom, an ancient magical academy, where buried secrets, forbidden truths, and your own impossible nature threaten to unravel the world around you.

Severance is about discovering who you are, holding the weight of the darkness that lives inside you, what it costs to be known, and the nine people who will love you regardless.

✧ Customize your protagonist’s name, gender, pronouns, appearance, and personality

✧ Build friendships and explore romance with one of the nine unique love interests

✧ Choose how you want to spend your time at the academy

✧ Unravel the mystery surrounding your mother's disappearance

✧ Hide a secret that could see you destroyed if discovered
