ShoeStrings Story

A point-and-click visual novel updating the classic "hero vs. demon king" fantasy into a cynical modern world where you can’t win by force alone.

The protagonist is a freelance writer named Lovecatch. Due to childhood trauma, they are unable to speak and have no combat experience. However, after saving a wounded, mysterious creature known as a Mamono, they are unexpectedly chosen to become a "Hero."

Lovecatch’s mission is to "persuade" an entity called the "Demon King," who is said to command the Mamono, and bring an end to the 900-year-long war against these creatures.
