Our take on Never give up!
The premise suggests a broad fantasy mystery, but the listed scope is a 3–4-hour visual novel centered on reading, relationships, and branching conclusions. The twelve endings add narrative variation, while the format remains compact rather than an expansive role-playing or detective game.
What is Never give up!?
Never give up!
is a 3–4-hour fantasy visual novel combining detective fiction, romance, school drama, and costume drama. Mia Silverlight, a young half-blood girl, becomes involved in a series of killings targeting half-elves and half-humans in a small city. Police suspect a racial-purity maniac, while detective Blackwood and magician Silverlight believe a necromancer is collecting half-blood souls for a ritual.
