You've been working at the Willani Epidemiology Lab as a secretary for around a year now. The researchers appreciate you, but they're not allowed to share the confidential details of their work with you.
Things are going well until your coworkers begin acting strange and you hear rumors of the lab performing unethical experiments. As your coworkers dodge your questions, you meet a new neighbor who seems a little too eager to insert himself into your life.

I made a meme with Nalis and MC! (Nalis can't cook;;)
Oh my god, I played Thaumo's good ending first, then Nalis's. I thought Nalis would be a bit of a soft yandere, imagine my shock when I played for his route and saw what happened lmao

I loved it, it's so good that it made me want to see more of what happened to our protagonist, I hope you get more out of the stories... ñ.ñ
THIS WAS SO FUN TO PLAY I LITERALLY LOVE THAUMO W ALL MY HEART
I absolutely adore this game, and I can’t wait for the next update (but, still take your time, health is important)!!
Ahem, personal comment:
For me, Nalis has been my favorite from start to finish, his character is just so likeable (in my opinion) and I honestly find myself intrigued and more interested in new interactions with him. Speaking of which, he’s actually so unique to me, I never thought he was genuinely as crazily possessive as I thought—I just skimmed through the contents, skipped some and intricately read the TWs so it honestly just surprised me (I barely read through the features section and thought there was only one yandere love interest). But overall, I think he’s a bit complex and mysterious, albeit somehow really lovely all the same! Thank you for this wonderful game, I enjoyed all the endings, looking forward for more!! (人*´∀`)。*゚+
