Overview

RPG Vice City Hive of Flesh ~Cegwitt and ARO~ is an alternate-universe RPG setting
combining eldritch horror, crime syndicates, dating-sim mechanics, and slow-burn mystery.
What begins as a navigation error escalates into a territorial and emotional conflict

Once inside the Nameless City, leaving is no longer a simple decision.
