What I've got, so far...steampunkish fantasy-mystery dating sim? Much darker than some dating sims, then again...

[hider=*]You were born in Patina city, a shining star in both magic and technology, during some rather dark times...at four, you would leave just before its fall to corruption and crime.

No one would have imagined you’d be returning.

But, certain circumstances have changed...

...bustling streets, dim alleyways...

...escaped fairies, clockwork canines...

Gangs and gears, drugs and deception, magic and murder...will the sun rise for you, who lives in this dark city?
