Love to be Forgotten

 Love to be Forgotten

"Love is a cannibal,
you think you need to keep alive, 
escape attempts are made except
you’ve stayed,
the guilt of leaving or the guilt it’ll die?"

  Love is a cannibal

   Story :

     Buried secrets and forgotten sins fester within the halls of power, where love is a dangerous weapon. Lady Victoria uncovers a story that was never meant to see the light—a tale of manipulation, murder, and forbidden love. The Pope’s daughter hides a deadly past, and the only one who knows the full truth remains silent, their love concealed beneath layers of guilt and control.

     As Lady Victoria searches for answers, she stumbles upon the cause of the plague—a discovery that not only threatens her family’s legacy but her very soul. With each fragment of forgotten lives she uncovers, she learns a bitter truth: some things are better left buried, and some love is destined to be forgotten.

Developer Notes:

This demo is heavily inspired by the stories of historical figures such as Lucrezia Borgia and vampire lore, particularly the tale of Jure Grando. While drawing from these sources, some details have been adapted or fictionalized for narrative purposes. Certain passages may seem strange or historically inaccurate.

Please note, as a solo developer (with narrative support from a friend), there may be some discrepancies or errors. Your understanding is appreciated, and feedback is welcome.

Additionally, this demo is still a work in progress, and there may be bugs or parts that need polishing. If you encounter any issues or have suggestions, feel free to leave a comment. Providing clear descriptions of any problems will be incredibly helpful.

( Due to school obligations, I haven’t had as much time to fully develop this project. There’s a 50/50 chance I may continue it when my schedule allows. Thank you for your patience and support)
