Sacrarium Gelus

Winter in the Andatal region has always been harsh, but the people always come together.

Not this year. Not for you. 

Sacrarium Gelus is a short fantasy-romance VN that follows its protagonist (name and pronouns customizable) during one of the lowest points of their life. Unexpectedly, a curse mark has appeared on them, and, for the safety of their village, they have been driven out into the winter snow. 

The only way forward that isn't wholly lethal is to traverse the dangerous, devil-infested Mt. Gelus. They survive the long trip around. The only way forward is through it. This journey puts them under the cold gaze of the sole, formerly human denizen of this mountain: Heimos, the living god of medicine and winter. No one knows about this man beyond the legends...until they meet him themself.

Will these interactions start off on the right foot? Will they learn more about Heimos during their stay or maintain their distance? Will they try to steal from a living god? That's up to you.
