From MAGES, the developer of the iconic Steins;Gate and the Science Adventure series of games, comes Iwakura Aria a thrilling visual novel with a gorgeous painterly aesthetic by the artist Hyakunen. And ANN is partnering with the game's publisher, PQube, to give away a few game codes for some lucky ANN readers!

Set in 1960s Japan, Iwakura Aria is experienced through the eyes of Ichiko Kitagawa, a 16-year-old orphan left behind in the cracks of society. She encounters Amane Iwakura, who offers her a job as a maid at his mansion. It seems like the dream escape: Ichiko has her own room, earns money, and gets to enjoy culinary delights prepared by the chef, who also becomes her friend.

However, working as a maid in the Iwakura mansion also means serving the beautiful heiress, Aria. Ichiko soon discovers that behind Aria's cold and refined façade lies a very different person, one who harbours dark and bloody secrets.

Throughout this visual novel, you are given choices that dictate the direction of the story and determine which of the nine different endings you encounter. At intervals, you're also presented with a map that allows you to choose which room in the mansion to explore further. Doing so may unlock character and family secrets or even reveal hidden rooms.
