Ruby

Ruby is a visual novel crafted by a single artist, featuring distinctive hand-drawn artwork and an original storyline

Stretching like a long scar between the realms of Hell and Heaven lies the Forest of the Beast. Within this forest stands a single advanced city, its technology capable of feats beyond our wildest imagination.

The city is ruled by the Void, a newly appointed leader still finding her footing. By her side lives Himik, a freshly graduated scientist hopelessly in love with her. Day after day, he invents new marvels to impress her, but the Void is too preoccupied to notice.

Driven by desperation, Himik locks himself away in his lab, emerging nights later with a creation of breathtaking beauty: a Ruby. Warm to the touch and shimmering in crimson hues, it’s meant to be his grand declaration. Yet when he presents it, the Void coldly rejects him.

Days later, Himik vanishes without a trace…
