Demonheart: The Ice Demon is an otome visual novel starring Shar, a young witch invited to live with the famous witch Eniri S'yke. Eniri keeps demonic prisoners beneath her house and needs help controlling and using them. As Shar uncovers the house's secrets, she can pursue a relationship with Eniri's brother or one of the prisoners.

Shar and the household

Shar comes from a tropical village in El'shei and specializes in benevolent magic, like her mother, the Oracle of Chtaz. A more powerful and famous witch invites her to become an assistant. Eniri is respected in the big city and beyond, but conducts dangerous experiments. Strict and merciless toward those she considers inferior, she tries to teach Shar her views on life, social roles and magic.

Eniri's younger brother, Sirath, cannot continue the family tradition of witchcraft because he is male. Instead, Eniri gives him a role in the family business mixing potions. He envies his sister and her witch associates, and keeps a close eye on Shar when she joins the household.

Relationships

The story has two separate romance routes with male love interests: Esmius, a demonspawn spellcaster, and Sirath, a human alchemist. There is also a bonus romantic ending with Nissa, a human woman.

Esmius is a demonspawn whom Eniri has imprisoned and made her unwilling servant. He seems to take his situation in stride, joking and teasing others, though Shar senses that he is hiding deep pain and cannot tell what part of him is a lie.

Shar meets Nissa in the big city's marketplace. Quick to decide they should be friends, Nissa shows Shar around, shares local gossip and wants to uncover everyone's secrets. Eniri's family friend Zhan is a smith who has joined the business of selling magical trinkets. He supports Shar as she settles into her new home, unaware of the shady practices in his old friend's basement.
