Philomel

Philomel is a fantasy game about Donna, an ordinary woman soon to become a housewife. She works for Lawrence, the priest of her local church, and earns money toward the 10,000 gold she and her fiancé need for their wedding. As she completes jobs, she unlocks higher-paying tasks, including some of a questionable nature.

Church work

You take on jobs around the church to earn money and advance the time of day. Each job moves the game timer forward, and the day ends when time runs out. Donna can cook, clean, make potions and read in the library; changing her outfit can also unlock jobs. She spends much of her time with Lawrence, and can eventually have encounters with other residents and creatures in the fantasy world.

Choices and endings

Decisions affect the story and determine which ending Donna reaches. Her story progresses over a series of in-game days, giving her opportunities to try different jobs and encounter others. The outcome can lead to different paths for Donna, from a favorable ending to routes focused on depravity.

New Game Plus

After completing the main story, you can start New Game Plus to replay it with extra content. It adds activities, routes, choices and events, including brothels and gloryholes.
