AMATERAS is aiming to raise funds to localize their upcoming visual novel about a slave and a jeweler, The Untamed.

The Untamed will be a romance story set in a fantasy world, following the life of Eska. She’s the only jeweler on the continent, and with her produce often containing helpful spells, she’s making a very lucrative living.

However, her life is about to change, as she makes a careless decision to purchase a slave. The man, whom she named Kuhahil, has reminded her of an old friend, so she decided to take him in. Being a knight, Kuhahil put up a fight against his enslavers, so they’ve cut his tendons and dragged him before the auction. Eska will have to put in a lot of work to nurse him back to health, and plans to free him after; however, to her surprise, he is not interested in freedom.

The visual novel is being developed by AMATERAS INC., a startup company from Los Angeles. They have already finished the development on The Untamed, having published it in Korea on Android last year. Their aim is to develop a localized PC version of the VN, and so they need help raising the funds to do so. They have set their base goal at $8,000 USD, with additional funding past that being directed towards creating side stories, extra CGs, and mobile versions.

You can find out more about their project from the official description, character profiles and screenshots below:

“Why….did you buy me….?” “It was an impulse.” “ It just happened.” The slave at an auction reminds Eska Blante her childhood friend. She decides to purchase the crippled knight, and tries her best to help him in order to give him freedom. However what this homeless man wants is not freedom but her obsession and restrains. The decision they make for each other does not always bring a happy ending.

You can find out more and support The Untamed on Kickstarter, where a demo build of the visual novel is available. Donating $10 or more will get you a digital copy of the game on Steam, once it releases.
