Housemaid's Secret: Fate Knows the Cards

A romantic simulation game featuring a single protagonist and Akiho, a professional live-in housekeeper in her late 20s. Over a sweltering summer trapped together indoors, their professional distance gradually narrows. Gameplay revolves around a card-selection system where each turn you choose one of three available cards—representing actions like conversation, helping with housework, or offering refreshment—each affecting Akiho's trust level and perception of the heat. The relationship and available cards evolve dynamically across three phases: initial professional support, growing intimacy as boundaries blur with rising temperature, and ultimately a deeper romantic and physical connection built on accumulated trust.
