The Gilded Cage is a fantasy adventure visual novel featuring a unique neo-noir and cinematic aesthetic. Set some 3,000 years after a nuclear apocalypse, the game follows Livvie, a Nightingale girl kept as a royal "pet" all her life, on a journey to her ancestral home, the Nightingale Tree. It features Ace Attorney-inspired gameplay, including point-and-click investigations, inventory, and a character profile system. Plus a rich and immersive world!
