Astrid: Blade of Vallundra

A tsundere knight gets sent by her king to hunt down the demons tearing through Vallundra, with the Demon Lord waiting at the end of the road if she gets that far. The setup plays it straight as heroic fantasy, right up until it doesn't.

Astrid is supposed to be the kingdom's strongest fighter, which is precisely why the king hands her this job instead of anyone else. Standing between her and the Demon Lord is a string of monsters and corrupting encounters that matter as much as the war itself, with Vallundra's fate resting on whether she comes out the other side still herself.

Combat runs turn based, sending Astrid against demons and monsters across the kingdom one fight at a time. Losing, or simply getting caught off guard, tips into the game's real focus: captures, groping, tentacles, and group scenes that wear down her composure scene by scene. The scenes themselves are voiced and animated rather than left
