Daughter of Essence

NSFWDaughter of Essence is a 2018 indie visual novel and role-playing adventure created by IndoorMinotaur, combining dark fantasy, storytelling, exploration, and traditional RPG elements. The player follows the story of a young woman caught up in a mysterious and dangerous situation, with choices, conversations, battles, and investigations shaping the experience. The game has a deliberately old-school presentation, recalling classic Japanese-inspired adventures while adding its own darker personality. There is plenty of dialogue and character interaction, so button-mashing your way through everything is not really an option. Fortunately, the story provides enough intrigue to make reading considerably more exciting than it sounds.
