Steam Store description

Tavi Malek has a dilemma. His fortunes have foundered thanks to his fondness for drinking, gambling, and whoring, and now both he and his family are destitute. Penniless and desperate, Tavi turns to his younger cousin, Yuel, for help. Though four years Tavi's junior, Yuel is the young master of an expansive estate: the sprawling Thistledown Manor, which is surrounded by lush gardens and full of hard-working servants. Though Tavi and Yuel's sides of the family are estranged, Tavi hopes his younger cousin will have enough kindness in his heart to extend an olive branch. He throws himself upon Yuel's mercy, asking whether he will employ him as a servant - but things don't quite go according to plan. 70,000 words of text (approx 3-6 hours of reading) A linear story with no choices/branches Gorgeous character artwork An original soundtrack Crossdressing maid boys A smutty love story with a master/sevant dynamic Cute and consensual smut

Content descriptors

This visual novel contains some coarse language. One of the characters talks about drinking alcohol and seeing prostitutes, though this is never depicted in any great detail. The story contains several explicit sex scenes between two adult male characters. Both characters are stated in the text to be in their twenties. These sex scenes are all consensual. The genitals are censored in all of the artwork, but the art is still explicit. Do note that these characters are cousins.
