It is a romance visual novel that aims for the mutually ideal “one-in-a-hundred affection level.” An affection level of 100 does not necessarily mean a happy ending. Doting love, restraint, confinement, and more await. The ending you reach with him may become as thick and inescapable as a swamp, pulling you in before you realize it and leaving you unable to move. World setting Xenoria is a thriving city known as the world’s first fully AI-managed city. Because AI management allows residents to live in the best environment suited to them, the city has become increasingly popular in recent years.
