For a better experience, we recommend downloading the game. 

A Familiar Lie is a story-driven game of chance. You follow the story like one would with a Visual Novel, and there are segments of a luck-and bluffing-based game similar to Poker or Liar's Dice. Dialogue and story variations will both depend on the outcome of matches as well as dialogue choices. This is a prototype of the game, so only the tutorial is available, where you learn how to play said game!

Elegy needs to procure souls for his lover, Dawn.  The only ethical way seems to be through playing a game that's gained popularity over the years, but it seems Elegy has a bit of a problem with that?

Also, there are cute elephants.
