Save the Villainess: An Otome Isekai Roleplaying Game
Steam
Congratulations! You are now in possession of one (1) neurodivergent romance novel villainess!
Unfortunately, neither you nor she remember the bad romance novel you are trapped in… or which character wants her dead.
Guide your amnesiac villainess through mysteries, menacing manors, and (wo)men who may be trying to murder her.
Meet with five suspiciously gorgeous characters and pursue romance, revenge, or revolution.
Can you find clues, fight off foes, calm angry furniture, and escape from eldritch horrors while solving the mystery of this world?

Save the Villainess' animated characters, backgrounds, and cutscenes allow you to step into a living painting... one where every corner, character, creature, and even cushion can lead to your death.


Guide your villainess by going on investigations, fighting battles, and making choices that lead you closer to romance, revenge or revolution. Find the information you need to solve mysteries, defeat your enemies, and make deductions that will save your villainess... or kill her.



Each of the three main routes (Edmund, Izel, and Ben) offers three diverse sub-routes and mysteries, as well as 10 different good endings and 30+ bad endings. After you conquer the three major routes, there will be one final mystery to solve...
Your decisions in the story matter and determine whether you live, die, find a lover among five possible partners (including three men, one woman, and one nonbinary character), forge a life alone, or pursue secret endings. Shape your villainess’ fate, no matter how tragic or triumphant it may be!
Play in Story Mode to get in-game indicators about your likelihood of survival or play in Detective Mode to survive by your wits alone. Change mode at any time in the Settings menu.
Use our save/load system to save at nearly any point in the game. You can also skip and move backwards through scenes, or use the chapter system to revisit or skip any chapter you have played. You can even skip the entire common route after playing it once.
