"The Garden of the Gods" is a captivating otome game that invites players into a mystical world filled with romance and intrigue. The game explores the theme of belief in the existence of gods, a concept that plays a central role in the storyline. As you embark on this journey, you'll find yourself questioning the nature of fate and the divine.
The story follows a young girl living in the village of Hitotose, where a unique cultural tradition unfolds annually. This tradition involves selecting a young woman who has just turned twenty to dedicate herself to the four seasons Gods of the Earth. Known as "The Chosen Maiden," this role has profound implications for the village and its people. The protagonist's older sister was once chosen, leaving the village behind, and her fate remains a mystery that adds depth to the narrative.
As the protagonist attends the ceremony with skepticism, an unexpected event occurs—a paper doll falls in front of her, setting the stage for her own journey. This twist leads her into an alternate world characterized by stunning Japanese-style settings and gorgeous Live2D illustrations, where she encounters the enigmatic Gods of the Earth.
In this alternate world, you'll have the opportunity to interact with four distinct gods, each representing a season and embodying unique personalities:
- The Spring God Arata - The youngest and most helpful, his cheerful and loyal nature, coupled with a deep fondness for humans, will surely captivate you.
- The Summer God Ren - Pretentious yet clumsy, this tsundere god's dislike for humans is softened by his sentimental side, making him intriguing and lovable.
- The Autumn God Kaede - Mean and unfortunate, his sadistic words will challenge you, yet his elusive nature adds a layer of complexity to your interactions.
- The Winter God Shu - Cold and taciturn, the contrast between his personality and appearance will fascinate you, drawing you into his mysterious world.
As you navigate this enchanting world, your choices will shape your destiny and the endings of your romantic journeys with these gods. Each god has two possible endings, determined by your decisions throughout the game.
