"Your sweetheart fell ill with a mysterious illness. Thankfully, you changed your mind about breaking up with them. Now, you're even closer to them. 
Too close."

A romance/psychological horror visual novel inspired by the Hanahaki disease trope. Immerse yourself in a romance with a sweetheart you can customize. But beware, as affection turns to obsession, the petals of love may suffocate.
