Cupid’s Deceit: Otome for PC

■ Synopsis ■

As a professional matchmaker with a budding agency, finding love is all in a day’s work. When a wealthy business man comes to you with a lucrative offer, it almost seems too good to be true – convince his eligible bachelor of a son to open his heart within six months, and you’ll have more than enough to buy back your childhood home. Too bad the charming face he presents in public is nothing but a thin veneer over stubborn arrogance.

Still, they say opportunity makes strange bedfellows, so when your mark proposes you fake an engagement long enough to appease his father and see you both paid out, how can you refuse? From that fateful moment on, the clock is ticking for you to either find him a genuine match or be forced to go through with your deception… but what if fate has other plans?

■ Characters ■

Frey – The Lauded CEO

Despite being the heir apparent to his father’s fortune, Frey prides himself on achieving success on his own terms. Building his company from the ground up leaves very little time in his schedule for anything else, even if his aversion to dating doesn't border on disdain for women as a whole. When you probe deeper, there are indications that you may have more in common than you’re ready to admit. Will you be able to convince him that love pays dividends?

Josias – The Trusty Assistant

Having been a trusted business partner and assistant to Frey for almost a decade, you can only wonder how Josias has remained so calm and mature by comparison. With unrestricted access to his schedule, and firsthand experience of the loneliness Frey endures behind closed doors, it becomes clear to both of you that Josias will be a crucial ally in your efforts to find him a partner of the romantic kind. Will your marriage of convenience perhaps lead to something more?

Rumi – The Charismatic Designer

Wherever elegance and sophistication are on display, you can be sure Rumi and his entourage aren’t far away. As gaudy in appearance as the metaphor suggests, this social butterfly flutters from one encounter to another with an ease you can’t help but envy, even as it endears him to you all the more. When there are hints that he and Frey go back a long time, you can’t believe they might be cut from the same cloth. Will your dalliances lead to a total metamorphosis?
