“Have you ever had a string of really, really bad luck?”
You play as Tetrine Reish in this interactive story. You were born with the rare ability to read and write in the magical language called “the Nell.” Until now, your family secret was simply a strange little fact to go along with a handful of other strange little facts hidden up your family tree: for instance, that your childhood home is haunted, that your great Gran Hailie won her fortune under mysterious circumstances, and that your older brother has a bootlegging habit.
You could sweep all that under the rug until now. The cat’s out of the bag, your secret is out, and you’re about to find out that what you thought was an interesting-but-useless family trait is much, much more important than you ever suspected.
And it will probably get you killed.
Choose wisely.
