Perpetūra

Perpetūra is an interactive literary romance novel. Five women across four centuries share a feeling they cannot name. Each story follows a woman who carries something she cannot explain — a presence without a source, a warmth that arrives in stillness and refuses to be managed.

First-person prose written in past tense with the restraint of literary fiction. No sprites, no CGs, no stat screens. Each story has multiple routes — romance paths and one solo path where the protagonist chooses herself. Your choices accumulate quietly; the story watches what you're drawn to and the world shifts around your attention.

Currently available: Hyunjae — set in Joseon Dynasty Korea, 1742. A noblewoman who manages the world through social precision meets a painter who sees underneath her arrangement and a stranger whose questions are too precise for grief. Three routes. 18 chapters. More stories coming.
