About this game
Through the Lens is a narrative visual novel that blends romance, mystery, and fantasy in a unique dual storyline experience.
You play as a young photographer who moves to Paris for a new job at Mirage Corp — a glamorous fashion company with a darker side. Between photo shoots, intriguing coworkers, and suspicious meetings, you quickly discover that something is very wrong. Your choices shape your relationships, uncover secrets, and determine your fate — whether in love, friendship, or survival.
But each night when you return home, something unexpected unfolds. You discover a mysterious old book titled The Legend of Ardan. As you read, you are transported into a medieval world of knights, tyranny, and ancient magic, where a boy named Ardan seeks vengeance and honor after the brutal murder of his father.
What’s more unsettling? Some faces from this fantasy world look eerily familiar. Coincidence... or is the book trying to reveal something deeper?
