About CUPID - A free to play Visual Novel
✦ AI summary
Play as Mother, a mysterious voice guiding Rosa through 18th century France as she hunts the inhuman Marquis Guilleme to avenge her dead best friend. This darkly twisted visual novel flips the script by putting you in control of a shadowy puppet master whose influence over the protagonist gradually unravels in unexpected ways.
WARNING: MATURE CONTENT. This game contains disturbing imagery, violence, flashing images, sudden and loud noises, mature themes, and strong sexual content. Viewer discretion is advised. TW: Suicide, murder, abuse.
"Love is both poison and cure, both knife and remedy."
Rosa's best friend, Catherine, is dead and she is sure Catherine's betrothed, Marquis Guilleme is to blame. Mother says so. Mother says he has to pay with his life. Although, she knows by now Guilleme is no ordinary man. He is tainted. Inhuman. A monster. He cannot be killed by usual means. To seek the best revenge, she must find out all his secrets and destroy him. But will her own dark desires consume her or liberate her?
No matter.
Mother will tell her what to do.
Set in the romantic 18th century France, play as the third person point of view character of Mother — a unique twist to the visual novel decision making medium. Decide the fate of the characters, scold or console, argue or assent... Just don’t be surprised if they start to question your commands.

very compelling story, downloaded it yesterday night and finished it this morning in just two gaming sessions. poetical, i took many screenshots of dialogue i found inspiring and beautiful the artstyle is also really pretty. but, if you want to download this game, beware: nudity and sexual content is definitely not the content you should be worried about. this game includes disturbing tropes and questionable relationships. so, content warning for sexual assault, sexual harassment, mentions of child sexual assault, grooming, mentions of incest, and verbal abuse (or any kind of abuse, really). there is obviously also a lot of blood, horror-y stills and scenes, gothic monsters etc, but i'd like to highlight that the gore, horror, mentions of CSA and abuse are put in a specific context which doesn't make it disturbing to come across. same goes for the implied incest, in the game it is considered disgusting to some extent. however... as for the grooming... i wish i could say the same. it is very heavy and very disturbing but never pointed out as such. depending on the ending you get, it's dealt with in a slightly different way but still very normalised.

This was my very first steam game played on my PC back in 2023, so naturally, it had to be my first game review. This piece of art being free was such a privilege to younger me because I never had a steam budget to spend growing up. The first time starting the game, seeing the artwork on the main screen, and listening to the opening score, "Tea Leaf Melancholy," it all immediately immersed me into the world and genuinely altered my brain chemistry. The story beginning with the affects of a cruel mother's words and actions that affects her daughter's ability to live, even *after* the mother has been gone (presumably dead) for a very long time made me feel truly seen and felt playing this game for very personal reasons. The character, Catherine, being a child protégé with the piano, reflected another core part of me: I too am a pianist. Her personality, charm, wit, and fashion sense all reflected core aspects of my own identity - I felt seen through her during a very isolated part of my life. Then there was the obviously very handsome Guillaume, a brooding, yet seemingly kind gentleman who takes on the two young girls to "help" their fortunes. ..I won't say too much on the plot,…1 found this helpful
A religious kind of novel which is kind of boring to read with.1 found this helpful
[h2] Welcome to Cupid [/h2] A free to play visual novel with good art and UI design. The story is definitely more suitable for a mature audience. The achievements are kind of annoying to complete, but nonetheless, it’s worth it. Thank you, devs!1 found this helpful
