This title is NSFW. Available materials and early gameplay indicate the presence of explicit content, and the game is reported to include graphic or violent imagery, potentially including gore. Due to the inability to progress beyond certain points, it remains unclear whether later sections include sexual violence or abuse, as no complete playthrough or full script has been documented.
A Japanese visual novel released in 2000. The game can be launched and played up to a point, but it consistently crashes after certain in-game events, preventing full completion. It is currently unclear whether this behavior is due to an issue with the original release, missing patches, or modern system incompatibility.
The title remains purchasable online, though only through Japanese marketplaces and generally requires the use of a Japanese proxy service.

Game Overview
(From the ARCHIVED Studio Pandora website)
From ancient times, there has existed in secrecy a certain “clan.”
They possess the ability to externally repair telomeres—the factors that govern aging.
Because of this, the members of this clan maintain lifespans, youth, and beauty so great they could be called eternal.
In other words, they are immortal. However, the price paid to obtain this immortality
was something filled with fear and sorrow.
Armed with everlasting youth and beauty,
along with extraordinary physical strength and intellect,
they appear only for a fleeting moment in the gaps of history, and then vanish again.
Caesar, Cleopatra, Napoleon—
and in our own country, figures such as Himiko, Nobunaga, and Ryōma.
The true forms of the great individuals known to later generations
are merely the tip of such an iceberg…

Preservation Status
- The game exists in a partially playable state, with progression halted by repeatable crashes.
- The last known public mention of the title dates to several years ago, with minimal subsequent documentation.
- Studio Pandora reportedly attempted to remove traces of the game shortly after launch, resulting in scarce surviving promotional material and limited archival coverage.
- The Studio Pandora website remains online, though its content appears static and is only updated or maintained up to November 2026.
- Parent or affiliated studios associated with Studio Pandora (E.g, Lost Script) appear to be in a similar state, remaining technically active but largely dormant.

Is there any download link to begin with? I think a patch for the bugs could be doable

From a Japanese visual novel database, It says "Windows10(32bit) 動作不可・インストール不可". This means it won't run on Windows 10 (and probably later versions as well).
