About Amarantus
Arik's been told two things all his life: a tyrant is ruling the country, and somebody needs to do something. Now forced to flee his house after a midnight attack, his parents captured and his house torched—maybe somebody means you. It's time to gather a party, head to the capital, and take the Lord down. Along the journey, this crew of old friends and new strangers will grow closer—or further apart—as your choices guide Arik to win friends, make enemies, play matchmaker, and break hearts. Romance is not guaranteed: messiness is.
Especially when you're travelling with friends:

Announce your brilliant plan...then glimpse a party member silently rolling their eyes in the corner of the screen
•
Learn to correctly pronounce someone's name, permanently updating the UI
•
Nickname your lover after the stupid thing they said that one time
•
Learn how to make your friends laugh
•
Have a poorly judged hookup really early on and then spend the rest of the playthrough awkwardly trying not to address it
•
Experience the thrill of almost, but not quite, holding hands with somebody you love
•
Make one bad decision and then try to redeem yourself while everyone makes snide comments
•
Tell three characters in one day that they're the love of your life, then navigate the fallout
•
And a lot more of that sort of thing
