About the Game

Medieval intrigue, conspiracies, and songs by lamplight—prepare for a unique visual novel where every pivotal moment is brought to life with a musical number!

“The Canary” is an engrossing visual novel that immerses you in the world of a medieval convent, full of secrets, intrigue, and unexpected twists of fate. The heroine, after a quiet and uneventful life, suddenly finds herself in an unfamiliar body and setting, where she must face realities she had only ever imagined. Your task is to help her navigate these new circumstances and uncover the mysteries hidden behind the convent walls.

In the game, you’ll explore daily life in the convent, where routine duties—singing in the choir, tending the garden, and cleaning—serve only as a backdrop for deeper, more thrilling events. Behind the gray routine lurk dark secrets and schemes, and it’s up to you to discover what is truly going on.
