This Winter of Ours

*Alone as two, together as one. *This Winter of Ours is a fantasy/yuri visual novel that tells the story of two girls surviving in a hostile winter forest, and living their new life together day by day.

As day turns to night and the last of the grass is suffocated by snow, apprentice merchant Delia finds herself completely lost and alone. With no hope for survival, she finally lays to rest her dreams of learning magic and discovering the secrets of her world, allowing herself to be taken by the elements.

Yet she awakens, and finds an unfamiliar figure lying next to her. A girl who is similarly yet uniquely alone. While she isn't forthcoming on any details of herself, the girl agrees to escort the merchant to safety, thus beginning their presumably short-lived adventure.

Little do the two know, they both have what the other needs. Will they be able to find that hidden treasure within each other, or will doubts and secrets consume them both?

An apprentice merchant traveling in her father's shadow. Cordial yet anxious, she struggles to fit in with the life of a trader, secretly yearning for her dead dream of studying magic and becoming a mage. If only she had a little push.

A short-spoken survivalist who calls the snowy forest her home. Initially a nameless stranger, she is given the name "Lux" when she encounters an estranged merchant in training. Despite her distrustful nature, something within her compels her to help the apprentice trader escape the forest.
