and more...
Bittersweet takes place in a fictional European country "Dezato", in the late 19th century.
Rapid development of technology and industry widened the gap between rich and poor.
In places far from the capital, there is also a growing influence of the nobility, who hold significant power and control over cities and towns.
The country is constantly changing, and people need to find their way to survive.
Gameplay is divided into two main sections, which are the “Daily” and “Incident” sections.
“Daily” section features Elaine and her partner’s journey in different cities, and reveals the story behind Beneatha’s crime in the past.
-Conversation-
