To save the love of her life from a deadly illness, Liora must ask for the help of Edgar, an ambitious mercenary who wields the power of magical contracts - once agreed upon, the absolute rules of these contracts cannot be disobeyed. Selling away her dignity piece by piece... Can Liora remain who she is, or will she succumb to Edgar, slowly transforming into his ideal woman?​
Gameplay
Explore dungeons, strategically manage your resources, and engage in turn-based battles in this fantasy RPG. However, unlike traditional RPGs, the story's main villain and antagonist is a member of your own party. He will not listen to your commands and seek to fulfill his own ambitions. The only way to obtain his cooperation: Agree to sign his magical contracts.
The core mechanic centers around negotiating these contractual rules - "clauses". During negotiations, Edgar and Liora trade clauses to further their own goals. The player can construct custom clauses to force Edgar to use certain skills during combat, assist in exploration - or simply pay the weekly bills to treat Liora's boyfriend, Rean, from the deadly illness that's devouring him from the inside.Â
Edgar, on the other hand, will try to corrupt Liora into becoming his type of woman - changing her outfit, hairstyle, dying her hair, even her behavior and manner of speech.
Key Features
Negotiation system - Unique system that allows you to trade magically enforced rules with the antagonist. Exploit Edgar as much as possible by taking on risky clauses, or try to avoid negotiating with him; it's all up to you.
Costume the looks of the heroine - Take appearance-altering clauses to unlock new costumes, change your hair style & color, and more.
Individual character mechanics - Each party member has its own goals and own personal mechanic that drives their independent actions during the game's free-roam segments.
Calendar mechanics - Elements become stronger on certain days; plan your encounters carefully taking the weekday into consideration.
Challenging resource management and puzzle boss fights - Many of the dungeon crawling mechanics from Star Knightess Aura found their way back into Liora's Price of Dignity; try to make the most of your resources to overcome adversity!
Modular event system - Trigger various visual novel styled story events that react to the negotiated clauses and the attitude and behavior Liora must adopt in order to fulfill them.
