STORYLINE/PLOT
Spoiler
The nymph Elliandra (Ellie for short) was born on the brightest day of the year, during the sun festival, the first time it had happened as far back as anyone could remember. Whispers of great deeds to be expected filled the ancient forest of Fallhana, but instead she turned out to be the most useless nymph in generations (the queen’s words).
Turning 17 she left her home forest to study in the human lands, as is custom. At her side, her loyal (and bitter) guardian, the great telepathic direwolf Arrlak. The human city, with all its culture, clothes, parties and boys turned out to be a heaven for young Ellie, but a hell for Arrlak, who had to fight a never-ending horde of overeager suitors and be driven into endless arguments about home coming times, waste of coin and a lack of focus on schoolwork (and worst of all, there were no bunnies to hunt in the city).
Arriving late at the start of the semester, Ellie was put in the only study group that still had room left for more people, the one with the two most unpopular students of her class. That’s how she met Tessa, the kind girl with a facial disfiguration from a small neighboring country and Sam, the son of a wealthy merchant, an incel and an excessive hoarder of pornographic drawings. At the city Ellie also met her current girlfriend Cassia, a national of the hostile Armstein, who was fleeing repression.
Ignoring Arrlak’s warnings, it didn’t take too long for trouble to find Ellie. Narrowly avoiding expulsion, she and her friends had to take on a strange assignment from one of their professors. On the way to fulfilling this mysterious punishment they decided to visit Ellie’s home forest. Something is brewing in the forest, its guardians restless and turning hostile. Can the four friends uncover the reason for this unrest? And more importantly, can Ellie protect her exotic girlfriend Cassia from the lustful and insatiable inhabitants of the forest (or will she even try)?

CHARACTERS
Spoiler
Ellie
A summer nymph. Bright and carefree, naturally good natured. Bonded to Arrlak, a telepathic direwolf (a strange pairing). Loves parties and sex. Not the jealous type (willing to share her girlfriend with all her hot “cousins”).
Arrlak
An intelligent telepathic direwolf from the frigid Riepass mountains. Hailing from a harsh land he has had trouble adjusting to Ellie’s carefree ways. Although he loves his ward, the task of raising Ellie and being separated from his homeland has made him somewhat bitter.
Tessa
A girl with a facial disfiguration from a coastal village from a small neighboring country. Practices a strange old healing art passed down as tradition in her village. A good student with a sharp mind, she received a stipend to study at the Royal University in Parne. Having endured a lot of bullying earlier, she finds Ellie’s natural and relaxed attitude towards her refreshing.
Cassia
A national of the belligerent Armstein Empire. An orphan, who was raised and trained in one of the military schools. Escaped and fled into exile after a girl in her unit – who she had exchanged looks with - was beaten and brutalized when it was found out they liked women in a romantical way. Ellie’s current girlfriend. Her introverted personality balances Ellie’s energy.
Sam
A son of a merchant from Parne. An incel with a massive porn collection (drawings on paper and pages ripped from anatomy books). Intelligent but self-centred and resentful. Eagerly awaits meeting Ellie’s hot cousins.

SYNOPSIS
Spoiler
My first game ever! A free to play hobby project. Visual novel with gameplay elements. Even though it's called episode 1, it's basically a self contained story (comedy with some serious themes). Setting is fantasy, with a technology rating around year 1750 (with less firearms and some anachronistic elements). The gameplay consist of different kinds of minigames and "interactive events". They will range from an "evade on map enemies"-type of scenes, to a silly mobile game clone, a short "adventure game" segment, a math themed puzzle etc.
