Carved in Stone
Romance, Fantasy, Otome, Dating sim · by Meant to Bee Studios · 2024
A potion-shop owner's quiet regular steps in to defend her one night, and the gentleman turns out to be far more than he seems.
Who it's for: Adults who want a short, fully voiced monster romance with a mature heroine.
The story (spoiler-free)
You run a potion shop in a rough town and are running short on time in more ways than one. Carrick, a well-mannered regular, steps in when some local thugs cause trouble, and a late-night conversation turns into something much warmer.
It is a compact, single-route romance with a heroine who is always written as an older woman, a jazzy original soundtrack and full voice acting. The three endings are all good ones.
The free base game is short; the paid Expansion roughly doubles the script with more choices and scenes. A streamer-friendly mode hides the explicit CGs.
