How to go about it, and which side to align with, is all up to you. But as you do the creature's bidding and navigate the ensuing turmoil of rebellion, you'll eventually uncover the mystery of who Lady Bliss is...and may not like what you'll find.

Originally on Steam's Early Access, the game was officially released on May 23, 2023.

!!Tropes:
* AlternateHistory: The game takes place in an alternate version of 18th Century France on the cusp of its own French Revolution. In addition to having a different monarch and heir compared to real life, events are also mentioned in passing that suggest that the timeline diverged even before the Bliss' arrival, such as an ongoing war with the British.
* BodyHorror: Excessive exposure to the Bliss can result in grotesque mutations that can make victims almost unrecognizable as ever being human.
* ChurchMilitant: The Church
* DeckbuildingGame: Abilities and weapons are acquired and swapped about through cards found throughout the game world.
* GreyAndGrayMorality: The four factions vying for power are all rather morally ambiguous and have sympathetic motives.
* InternalReformist: Prince Phillip claims to be such, believing that the best way forward for France is changing the system from within and that toppling the monarchy will only bring more suffering.
* JeanneDArchetype: Ana acts as a rallying figure for the Revolutionaries and isn't afraid to get her hands dirty. While it's eventually revealed, however, that she also [[DefectorFromDecadence hails from the nobility]] and may be biting off more than she could chew, she is genuine about her convictions.
* ManBehindTheMan: Professor Max, a good friend of Ana, is heavily implied to be the one actually coordinating the Revolutionaries.
* TheRevolutionWillNotBeVilified: Subverted. The Revolutionaries' cause may be just, but that doesn't mean that individual rebels won't resort to unsavory means or harm innocents if it means achieving their goals.
* WombLevel: The gardens of the Bliss are a Cronenbergian netherworld that only you can access, being comprised of fleshy entrails intertwined with warped fragments of the Parisian catacombs.
