Read full description

This dark fantasy yuri visual novel is the third and last game in the Tales From The Under-Realms trilogy. While there are a few references to the other two games, it can be enjoyed as a stand-alone story. In this installment, the enigmatic Nameless God tracks the odyssey of three heroines: Lilith, the half-demoness; Odette, a devout warrior-monk of the Goddess of Truth, Irijo; and Evelyn, a formidable half-elf pyromancer and familiar face from TFTU: After Midnight. As the tale unfolds, our trio finds themselves in dire straits, ensnared by ‘The Seven’—a cabal of sorcerers who have seized control of Grimoire and exert their will over much of the fantastical realm of Aravorn. Despite the grim outset, the combined valor and cunning of the heroines fuel a daring escape from Grimoire, toppling a swath of the wizardry dominion in their wake. Now fugitives, their sole beacon of hope lies in reaching Shacklesplit, a haven nestled across the ocean on the shores of Zoltar. The story will follow the adventures of Lilith, Odette and Evelyn, as they navigate through numerous challenges to achieve different potential outcomes. Set in a dark fantasy world, this game intensifies the tone established by its predecessors, offering a blend of joyous, sorrowful, and bittersweet moments and endings. TFTU: Lilith is a dark / gothic visual novel with multiple endings. Your choices matter and will determine who stays alive and who dies. Unlocking all the achievements will require more than one playthrough.
