Brilliant Shadows is a visual novel that follows the story of Veronica Ashmar, a new graduate of the Mountain and a necromancer. Tradition dictates that upon graduation, necromancers and paladins are to perform the pairing ritual. Binding together one of each type of mage, entwining their lives and powers with another and sealing their fates together with a matching mark upon their primary hands.
Those that succeed and become paired go on as full mages, those that do not are considered nothing more than hedge mages. There are no exceptions and the ritual has never failed…
Until the day Ash receives a mark and no fellow graduate to match it.
Now she must discover the origin of her mark and attempt to solve the greatest magical mystery that the Mountain has ever known.

This game hires VAs who scam people out of $43,000 and run away without a single word to their supporters. I would spend your money elsewhere. But just remember Mel Gorsha... We love you! So we'll never, ever forget you.
What does the "Extras" button do? It leads me to a defunct part of your webpage and I'm curious.
yes yes i know i'm complaining even though i love the game but i wish we had a choice with the romance option cuz until they meet they're trying to figure out if ash is simply in love with prude only or is interested in women completely so i was hoping we could have a choice between male or female. i am bisexual so i don't mind but like i said would've been nice to have variety
