A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

The world needs the spiritually gifted espers to fight off monsterous aberrations with their explosive  powers.

Espers need guides to purify their spirits from corrosive effects of using their abilities and return them to a state of equilibrium.

Guides need... a steady payout while pressed by the weight  of corporatism where people are graded and discarded like commodities. 

Welcome to guideverse.

 (2 Espers) x (3 Guides) = (romance/ rivalry)^6

+Choice of two protagonists, with  four possible  love interests.

+ Turn based tactical card battle system

+ Retro style 2D first person dungeon crawling exploration

+ Life Simulator Gameplay-  Time, stats, resources and relationship management  

Is it possible to develop love in the midst of the dystopian intersection of (technology)  x  (spirituality) x (pleonexy)?

**Content warning- mature themes may include non-graphic sexual content ,  strong language, toxic behavior, drugs and trauma.
